Next generation access networks
Ever growing consumer and business demand for broadband services causes Local Loop Unbundlers to continually review their connectivity needs between core national infrastructure and local exchanges with "build or buy" strategies permanently under review. Current generation ADSLx services continue to enjoy growing demand with increasing volumes driving wider own build deployments. Next generation broadband over copper demands VDSL aggregation ever closer to end customer premises, and is likely to fuel future demand for extended reach regional fibre networks. Vtesse's unique approach to network aggregation, design and build assures the most cost effective solutions are always proposed making Vtesse a good long term partner choice for broadband service providers.

Telemetry network infrastructure
Time takes its toll on technology and many older first generation national and regional fibre network infrastructures are reaching economic and operational end-of-life. Vtesse specialise in engineering the most cost effective solution for replacement infrastructure that is possible. With over 9,000Km of our own network routes and access to tens of thousands more route kilometres of fibre across the UK, Vtesse are uniquely well placed to ensure that our customers get the most advantageous combination of existing and new network routes to meet their needs.
Optical Network Infrastructure Project Examples
Background
Vtesse private optical networks are used for many purposes. They are increasingly being deployed to replace older non-data network infrastructures as well as continuing to provide the foundation for high performance data networks. Here are some examples of typical customer infrastructure projects.
New multi-purpose fibre networks
Voice, video, data, specialised telemetry services, traffic signals, CCTV, broadcast and mobile network traffic are usually delivered using incompatible and separate networks. As each of these traditional services requires upgrade or replacement, customers often opt for like for like replacement. To adopt such a strategy may in many cases miss an opportunity for service improvement, service aggregation and cost reduction. Modern optical networking technology is capable of accommodating literally ANY traffic type in ANY combination, providing opportunity for the consolidation of multiple service types onto common network routes on a new "general purpose" optical network. Vtesse specialise in the design, construction and operation of such services, particularly where some or all of the traffic types have particular characteristics that must be accommodated, including latency, jitter, delay, diversity, availability and capacity.
Mobile network infrastructure
Mobile networks are undergoing fundamental change. Built to accommodate voice and text messaging, network traffic routes and capacity requirements were predictable and prescribe-able. The increased data rates and the anarchic nature of data and particularly IP and Internet traffic flows changes the rules, causing congestion and delay at points in the network that were previously appropriately sized. Access and aggregation links have been particularly hard hit as mobile broadband services gain traction. Point to point microwave and low capacity telecoms circuits no longer provide service levels that customers have come to expect from their fixed line services, leaving mobile data a poor second place in consumer perception. The mobile networks need re-engineering and simply upgrading existing routes will not provide an appropriate or economically sensible solution. Financial constraints determine the scope and the timing of such projects. Optical technologies, new network designs and new fibre routes are, of course the answer. Value for money and expenditure aligned to revenue is key. Vtesse's unrivalled access to fibre routes in all parts of the country, coupled with strong experience and skills in network design, optical technologies, project management, civils, implementation and a partnership approach to projects can help bring pressured mobile networks back to life in a way that makes operational, financial and technical sense.
