Mobile Data Dr. Adam Beaumont adam.beaumont@uk.aql.com
A quick about aql We don t compete with ISP s Neutral. We provide ISP s with Telephone numbers. We provide enterprise and systems integrators with mobile messaging. We build and run our own Datacentres (2, nearly 3 in Leeds). We are the wholesale edge of network for the Three.co.uk Network the UK s largest 3G mobile network. We run Janet 3G the approved supplier of 3G data to Schools, Colleges, Universities, Govt, Museums.
Mobile Data What is it? GSM 2G Global System for Mobile communications 9600 baud J GPRS 2.5G General Packet Radio Service 56-114kb/sec 3G Third Generation mobile >200kb/s HSPA High Speed Packet Access Up to 14Mb/s & low latency Youtube friendly HSPA+ The + version. Eg three UK up to 21Mb/s
Mobile Data What is it? LTE Long Term Evolution 300Mb/s and very low latency General Packet Radio Service 54Mb/s and up. 802.11h good for mobile WiMAX Worldwide interoperability for Microwave Access Up to 40Mb/s Mobile data services are getting better at doing the stuff that fixed services do ie. low latency and high bandwidth, QoS.
Mobile Data What uses it?
content, such as online access to video from major broadcasters. Mobile Data The easy way to access the internet Figure 10: Mobile traffic: voice and data, 2008-2016 Mobile data growing 60% year on year driven largely by video content But more bandwidth also means more productivity : Each 1000 new broadband connections creates 80 new jobs.

Mobile Data Work on your own terms City-wide Wifi : Imagine if we all had the same idea. Not a single vendor solution requires regional cooperation. Add HSPA+ and LTE.. Scope for > tenfold increase in traffic. Needs a (Cunning) plan.
Where does most of this data go?
Where could most of this data go?
Part 1 - The Enablers the underlying networks Example shown is just one of many networks now in Leeds at aql s DC: Provides opportunities to Reduce traffic load and dependency on London Reduce cost of Service Increase resilience
Part 2 : The Enablers at the coal face the ISP s The Fixed and mobile ISP s need easy access to a hub share traffic. Fixed ISP s are good at this. Mobile ISP s are just learning! The positioning of this hub is key to making it cost effective. The hub provides the social forum and technical infrastructure to allow the ISP s to share traffic. Ensures best practice and promotes cooperation for the good of the internet and the region Fosters relationships to allow the ISP s to gain regional access to content Performs a public facing role to explain why this is a good thing to be doing!
Part 3 : Why IXLeeds, why Now? Driven by connectivity and demand - IXLeeds operates within one of aql s Leeds datacentres. The Only Carrier Neutral datacentre in Leeds City Centre. Location is Key it s all about where the fibre and the power is. Needs easy access to all national carriers to become well connected. It just so happened that the ideal location was a Grade II listed Chapel.
The Datacentre
The Site a bit of history
The Site what to do with rooms without windows
Wouldn t it be great if
aql Leeds Twinned with Marenostrum, Barcelona
Work in progress space for the electronic congregation
Finished in now + 5 weeks. Now taking orders..!
Any Questions..? Or find me and ask them later
