WiSpire is a specialist Norfolk and Suffolk rural Fixed Wireless Access broadband provider delivering wireless internet services to rural not-spot communities across Norfolk and Suffolk via an innovative church-tower-mast network, in partnership with Diocese of Norwich and originally founded as a joint venture with Archant newspaper group. Registered as Wispire Ltd (Companies House 07660833, incorporated 7 June 2011) at 36 Hurricane Way, Norwich NR6 6HU and led by directors Nicholas Brian Snelling and Stephen Graham Temple (shared leadership with sister brand InTouch Systems under parent Redshelf Ltd), the company was acquired by InTouch Systems in 2018 and consolidated into the wider InTouch / Redshelf group.
