What we’re building
I could go into more detail…
…but how good is your eyesight?
What we’re building - Points of Presence
• Vacating the Verizon Business PoPs
– Except for small presence in Glasgow and Reading
• Existing Provider-Neutral PoPs
– Telehouse North, Telecity Harbour Exchange
– Telecity Manchester, Scolocate
• New Provider-Neutral PoPs
– Telecity Powergate, Telehouse West, Leeds (aql)
• SSET Core PoPs
– Bradley Stoke, Erdington, Lowdham, Glasgow
• SSET Transmission PoPs
– Multiplex circuits from regional fibres onto the backbone
• SSET In-Line Amplifier PoPs
– Single rack, small amplifier shelf
• RNEPs
What we’re building - Lightpath
• Increase bandwidth between backbone nodes to 100GE
• Topology reflects what is currently required
How we’re getting on – fibre
• Acceptance of core infrastructure February 2013
• Acceptance of regional infrastructure March 2013
How we’re getting on – DWDM equipment
• Ciena 6500 platform
• All kit is in the country
 40% on site
 60% in staging
• Deployment began in January
