Introducing ANTENNA

The shared communications platform for Central Government

Delivered via a secure, private, cloud-based enterprise platform and network; hosted in highly secure, resilient Government accredited data centres.

Dedicated service-desk, project office and professional services based in Westminster; manned by the UK’s largest team of SC and DV level security cleared engineers.

ANTENNA provides services to over 40,000 central government users and is saving millions of taxpayers’ money.

The ANTENNA programme was formed because we wanted to share our ICT infrastructure with other Departments in a way that's not been achieved before. The approach taken by the Pin partnership with the Cabinet Office meant that by utilising existing equipment, we could reduce costs, improve service and provide expert support to Departments in a way that they've not experienced previously.

"Once the FSA had made the decision that the ANTENNA service met all our user needs, the process of contracting with FourNet was quick and straight-forward. FourNet were supportive of collaborative discussions to ensure the contracted service best met the FSA's requirements, aligning to our desired payment profiles and enabled work to commence on service transition almost instantaneously."
