Simplify business with superfast broadband all in one single order.
Single Order Generic Ethernet Access (SOGEA) is a new Openreach product which enables providers to order FTTC without a phone line – you've got everything you need within a single order. SOGEA will bring a big shakeup to telecoms in the UK and it is one that we cannot ignore.
Currently most homes and businesses connect to Openreach's infrastructure using WLR with broadband then added on top. Zen, like most other ISPs, then bundle these together as packages by default.
However, in the world of technology today most people only have this fixed line because it is necessary for their broadband to work. With the advancement and cost effectiveness of mobile handsets and VoIP, and the nationwide rollout of full fibre networks, there is less and less requirement for old phone services.
SOGEA enables consumers and businesses to buy a broadband connection without the need for a phone line. Instead, your customers can get a voice service on a SOGEA line, although it will need to be an IP-based solution like VoIP.
With only one order to manage you will have less to deal with.
You don't need to worry about migrating when the WLR closure comes.
And no need for your customers to worry about unexpected call charges.
Gives you an opportunity to improve margins by using VoIP rather than WLR calls.
Stops customers from cancelling WLR services they don't need and the broadband service at the same time.
Easy to order in our portal and backed up by our award winning Zen support.
