BT has signed a new ten year deal with Telefonica UK to support the introduction of 4G services for millions of O2 mobile customers.

Under the terms of the deal, BT will build a new high capacity transmission network to help O2 stay ahead of the continued explosion in mobile data traffic as a result of mobile users accessing mobile internet applications via their smartphone or tablet device. The roll out of 4G services across the UK is expected to place even greater pressure on mobile networks. The new managed network solution from BT Wholesale will provide O2 with the network capacity required to support the increasing demands of customers choosing its planned 4G services.

BT will also provide O2 with a sizeable increase in backhaul capacity by delivering the high speed mobile backhaul links between its mobile base stations and the new transmission network. Furthermore, the new transmission network will help O2 migrate from legacy TDM to Ethernet based IP services, helping O2 deliver a host of new applications to its customers whilst reducing its overall transmission costs.

Times are already challenging for network operators, retail and wholesale, doing their best to serve their customers.  Even more challenges lie ahead. One example is Cloud, or Big Data, putting converged networks at the heart of communications and putting huge traffic volumes on them.

Already a reality, these volumes will continue their massive growth. The obvious solution would be to build big new networks, deploying new technology that offers scalability, flexibility and lower operational costs. But that would mean big investment in a time of limited capital.

So what’s an operator to do to prosper, or indeed survive? [Read more...]

Here at BT we have successfully introduced our Global IP Exchange Service but we’re not stopping there: we’re now working to enhance its value to our customers by adding new services and growing our community.

In the world of IP voice, size matters! To use a well-known industry example, one fax machine doesn’t make a service.  You need millions to do it. The time of fax is coming to an end, but the rule applies to providing a voice-over-IP service that is more than just another transport technology. We need to create and support a big community of IP-voice users.
