Shared Access, owner and operator of shared telecommunications infrastructure, announces the acquisition of Node Technologies, a Manchester PropTech firm delivering fibre-based smart building solutions. Co-founder of Node and current CEO, Christian Anderton, will continue to head up day-to-day operations, with the business remaining a standalone entity.
Node is a smart technology solution, offering sustainable, base-build infrastructure that enables all sensor and connectivity requirements across the built environment. The acquisition extends the respective businesses’ range of services to investors and developers.
Chris Jackman, CEO Shared Access:
“The acquisition of Node brings fibre and smart tech expertise to Shared Access, alongside our wireless connectivity solutions. It means the partnership is a one-stop- shop for building owners, property managers and tenants, providing competitive, in-building mobile connectivity, as well as expanding full fibre choices to landlords and their customers.”
Christian Anderton, CEO Node:
“The evolution of Node and alignment with the Shared Access vision represents the next phase of our journey in changing how real estate delivers connectivity experience to its customers. As market leaders in the mobile space, Shared Access were the obvious partner with whom to create the only combined, supplier neutral platform in the UK. We look forward to leveraging our enhanced capitalisation in meeting the scale of demand and opportunity from landlords for bringing buildings to life.”
