TalkTalk Wholesale rebrands to PlatformX

TalkTalk’s Wholesale Services and national network business and Virtual1 have combined to form a new company, PlatformX Communications (PXC).

PXC is an independent wholesale telecoms platform for connectivity, cloud, voice and ICT services.

The company is purely wholesale, meaning no competition with customers. It has a holistic product portfolio accessible via its software platform, 1Portal, and other technology including APIs and software defined networking capability from core to edge.

PXC provides customers with access to its Tier 1 national network covering 98 per cent of UK premises and is the only scale aggregator of altnets.

PXC, which has been operating as an independent company within TalkTalk Group from 1st March 2024, is led by CEO Tom O’Hagan.

O'Hagan said, "I am delighted to be unveiling PXC to the channel and to the wider wholesale market. The launch of our new company and our new brand underlines our ambition to offer genuine choice to the wholesale market, and builds on more than 20 years of dedicated investment and expertise developed through TalkTalk and Virtual1.

"We firmly believe that competition and innovation are essential to market growth, and that doing things differently requires players like us, with an appetite for developing new approaches and challenging the status quo.

"Thanks to our heritage, PXC is a core part of a vibrant, competitive wholesale market, which should serve as the foundation for innovation for business and wider society."
