About

Node is a forward thinking connectivity & infrastructure platform...

Node was founded in 2017 with a mission to eliminate costly delays and inefficiencies caused by traditional ISP-level wayleave processes. From 2018 to 2022, we evolved into a market-leading connectivity specialist, offering a one-stop solution for in-building digital infrastructure that’s fast, resilient, and future-ready.

We are proud to have achieved 100% WiredScore Platinum certification across every project, thanks to a unique approach that blends technical innovation with strategic asset delivery.
