TalkTalk Wholesale Services officially rebrands as PlatformX Communications

PlatformX Communications today launches its new name and brand to the wholesale market as it unveils its commitment to challenge the status quo across the industry.

Born from the combination of Virtual1 and TalkTalk’s Wholesale Services and national network business, PlatformX Communications, or PXC, is the UK’s largest independent wholesale telecoms platform for connectivity, cloud, voice and ICT services, backed by the UK’s largest network.

The company - the UK's fastest growing wholesale connectivity provider - is purely wholesale, meaning no competition with customers. It has a holistic product portfolio accessible via its marketleading software platform, 1Portal, and other industry-leading technology including APIs and Software Defined Networking capability from core to edge.

PXC offers customers access to its Tier 1 national network covering 98% of UK premises, and is the only scale aggregator of Alternative Networks.

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

Tom commented: “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.
