Cybermoor is a rural broadband provider established in 2002 that connects 300 customers using wireless and fiber networks built and maintained by local contractors. They received government funds to test social investment in their latest broadband network. This network supports health monitoring and exercise coaching for seniors through the PhysioDom project and provides information on telehealth services through ActiveAdvice. Cybermoor also offers broadband installation kits and conducts feasibility studies for expanding broadband access in underserved rural areas through fiber and wireless solutions.
The document summarizes two UK government digital infrastructure programs: the Local Full Fibre Networks Programme and the 5G Testbeds and Trials Programme. The Local Full Fibre Networks Programme aims to stimulate commercial investment in full fibre networks through a £200m challenge fund for local projects. The first wave of projects will test four delivery mechanisms. The 5G Testbeds and Trials Programme aims to help deploy 5G and establish UK leadership in 5G through test networks and business projects, with an initial £16m for university networks and £25m competition.
Openreach's strategy to build Britain's connected future involves delivering better service, broader coverage, and faster speeds. Their goals are to go beyond the government's 95% superfast broadband target, extend fiber coverage, and take Britain from a superfast to an ultrafast nation. Key initiatives include improving customer experience, completing the superfast rollout, conducting technical trials to reach the final 5%, expanding the fiber footprint, and delivering ultrafast broadband to more homes and businesses through technologies like G.fast and FTTP.
This document discusses several issues related to regulating the telecommunications environment in the UK to promote a competitive full fibre broadband market:
1. Full fibre networks are likely to develop through market forces but Openreach needs a transition plan and framework to support broader FTTP rollout. Ofcom should include reasonable FTTP demand in future reviews.
2. Access to ducts and poles alone has limited use but could help alternative providers if incorporated into agreements between Openreach and partners. Long term asset ownership is still an issue.
3. Ofcom should request BT forecasts for FTTP rollout and include FTTP connection costs in price controls to better support the goal of more widespread full fibre coverage.
Ben Ward has 20 years of experience in internet service providers and has worked on projects involving wireless internet service providers, TV whitespace pilots, and internet of things applications for flooding monitoring and traffic/parking data collection. The document discusses how internet of things involves thousands of small, widely distributed devices that collect data using low-power wireless connections and need highly available connectivity with good uptime, reliable service, and security through measures like VPNs due to challenges around network address translation with IPv4 addressing.
The document discusses strategies for connecting rural and remote areas to broadband networks, including pushing fiber infrastructure as far as possible, optimizing available fiber access, having a committed rollout plan, and creating a vehicle for coordinated interventions. It also presents an approach to lotting areas for the main intervention, starting with large urban areas and progressing to very remote rural areas.
CityFibre is a company that designs, builds, operates, and owns citywide passive fiber optic infrastructure in many UK towns and cities. It has deployed over 30,000 km of fiber and had a successful IPO in January 2014. CityFibre provides shared pure fiber infrastructure that is independent of BT Openreach. It is establishing cities with gigabit connectivity by deploying a citywide fiber backbone and expanding to full fiber-to-the-premises. This presentation provides examples of CityFibre projects in Peterborough, York, and engaging with other major UK towns and cities to make them "gigabit cities" with transformational fiber infrastructure.

The document discusses the challenges facing communications service providers (CSPs) as their traditional business models are disrupted by digital technologies. It argues that CSPs must transform their core businesses, operating models, and technology stacks to unlock new sources of growth. Specifically, the document recommends that CSPs: 1) optimize costs in their core businesses to free up investment for growth; 2) look for new growth opportunities in business-to-consumer and business-to-business markets; and 3) adopt user-centric, data-driven approaches and move to software-defined networks to capitalize on emerging trends like 5G and the internet of things.

HYBRID CLOUD
GROWTH
FORECASTS
CBRE DATA CENTRE SOLUTIONS
’WITH DATA CENTRES - KNOWLEDGE IS POWER’
Corporate IT strategies will be dominated by “Hybrid Cloud” models for the
foreseeable future (at least 5 years):
• CIOs are under pressure to take costs off the balance sheet or out of
the organisation
• Public cloud works in many cases but by no means all
• Legacy systems take years to change
• Hybrid Cloud models using a mixture of cloud and colo and/or on-prem
data centres will work best for most medium to large organisations
• Use of public cloud services will continue to grow strongly – enterprises
are going multi-cloud
• However, cloud spend will only account for a third of corporate IT spend
on infrastructure by 2022
• Spend on on-prem infrastructure will fall but will still be the dominant
sector in 2022
• The colocation data centre market will continue to grow as on-prem
data centres decline
Summary
Forecasts
Outsourced Infrastructure Spend & Total Infrastructure Forecasts
Long-term trends and forecasts
• Outsource or managed services models will dominate the corporate IT landscape
• Today: 77% on premise, 6% public cloud, 17% managed/colo
• Long-term: 10% on premise, 60% public cloud, 30% managed/colo
• For 2019:
• Enterprises will become more interested in Cloud Management Platforms (e.g. Abiquo, Morpheus) and
orchestration systems that span the enterprise and private/public cloud environments
• Cloud connectivity (SDWAN) solutions will increase in popularity, through colo providers providing direct
connectivity (e.g. Equinix) or via dedicated networks with POPs in colo sites (e.g. Epsilon, MegaPort)

MOORE’S LAW
“how’s that getting on?”
CBRE DATA CENTRE SOLUTIONS
’WITH DATA CENTRES - KNOWLEDGE IS POWER’
Moore's Law is the observation made by Intel co-
founder Gordon Moore that the number of
transistors on a chip doubles every year while the
costs are halved
People have been predicting the downfall of Moore’s Law for many years, but
it appears to be going strong, albeit slightly slowed down
• Most versions of the law based on 2 year cycle
• Intel claim 2.5 years
• Chip speeds are not growing quickly, but transistor size is shrinking
Is it’s death still greatly exaggerated?
What else?
Is size important?
• 7nm is the new 10nm
• Some manufacturers have had 7nm products since 2015, but…
• AMD this year and Intel next year
• And more design effort into GPUs (for AI workloads)
• Which means: more cores per chip, more processing power per
blade/server
• NVMe memory will continue to increase in popularity – faster than flash,
requires less power
• China will continue to expand its semiconductor manufacturing capacity
aggressively
• TV manufacturers are going to be flogging 8K sets, so expect more 8K
content
• Data growth will continue to explode almost exponentially, already up to nearly 3 quintillion bytes
per day – over 90 of the worlds data was created in the last 2 years! It would take you 50 years
to watch all the Youtube videos uploaded yesterday!
• Total data in the world estimated as 33ZB! IDC think 175ZB by 2025! 1ZB = 1 trillion GB!
• A stack of Blu-ray discs with 175ZB of content would reach to the moon, 23 times!
14. CBRE Data Centre Solutions
5G
“Coming now
gamechanger?”
Of all the “new” technologies on the immediate horizon, 5G is being hyped as
making a major impact for businesses and consumers:
• It will be a lot faster than 4G – eventually!
• It will have lower latency – less delay or lag when online, better for online
gaming, essential for autonomous driving systems!
• It will have greater capacity, meaning that it will be able to cope with huge
surges in demand, and also provide connectivity for millions or billions of
devices (IoT)
Summary
What does it do?
• 2G gave us mobile email
• 3G gave us mobile Internet
• 4G gave us apps (video, ride sharing, delivery services, dating apps)
• 5G promises everything faster and more instantaneous, with better
coverage – ideal for gaming, autonomous vehicles, robotic systems,
massive scale deployments of sensors, remote control of real-time
systems
What’s happening in the UK?
• All the operators are announcing
plans
• EE will be rolling out to 6 UK cities
in large-scale trials in 2019 –
London, Cardiff, Belfast, Edinburgh,
Birmiingham and Manchester in the
1st wave
• National rollout should start in 2020
• Phones will be there before good
coverage!
In real life…
• It will enable realistic virtual and augmented reality systems – e.g. HUD-style SatNav projected onto car windscreens with
real-time traffic updates
• Support for IoT devices, for smart homes and offices, or remote monitoring of dispersed sensors in a wide variety of
applications
• Autonomous cars and lorries will depend on real-time data traffic
• Remote surgery and other medical procedures
• Online gaming will benefit from the low latency making interaction much more instantaneous
• Higher capacity and bandwidth will enable higher-resolution streaming services
• Rural (or even urban) homes and businesses will have a high-bandwidth alternative to wired broadband services
• A better “digital experience” for users of online business services
• Will drive demand for edge data centre capacity

Editor's Notes
THINK ABOUT THE OLD LP – TODAY ALL DIGITAL (Same product different delivery) – Environmental impact…positive
Overview
Gauged by colocation activity – the third-party outsource market - in the four major “FLAP” cities of Frankfurt, London, Amsterdam and Paris, the European data centres sector is at an all-time high and we anticipate further growth. This is predominantly driven by the large cloud computing companies which account for over 80% of all colocation take-up, and are therefore shaping the entire sector in Europe as well as driving the actions of data centre investors, developers and operators.
Market driven by technological advancement
Technological development will ensure that data, and hence data centres, become ever more critical in the operations of a growing range of businesses. Some estimates suggest that the daily amount of data generated by IoT devices is doubling every forty weeks. There is a common misconception that this data is just out there somewhere in “the Cloud”. In reality the Cloud consists of a series of physical servers stored in data centres, which are purpose-built or specialist-fitted buildings in major global cities. So as the quantum of cloud computing increases, so does the demand for data centre capacity.
New Norm 100-120MW – 2018 175MW+
To date, demand has been mostly driven by the large US cloud providers but in 2019 we also expect Chinese providers to make a more substantial contribution, having so far had limited involvement in this market.
M&A will play a key role
The data centres sector is characterised by a very high level of M&A activity. Investors from across the spectrum, including North American pension funds, Asian sovereign wealth, private equity, infrastructure funds, institutional capital are all looking to take advantage of this asset class. A virtuous mix of increased investor appetite, developers looking to expand, and sellers able to realise high-values for their platforms or assets will continue through 2019. As a result we expect to see more platforms acquired in primary and secondary markets, especially those which provide rapid entry into sought-after locations.
Supply keeping pace
Such strong market activity has provided the foundations for large-scale data centre development across Europe. CBRE forecasts that 2019 will mark the third year running in which the capacity of the four major European markets has grown by over 15%. Put another way, this means that over one-third of all colocation supply in the core FLAP markets has come online in the past three years alone.
In 2019, the US developer-operators that made an initial move into Europe in 2018, including CyrusOne, Iron Mountain and ServerFarm, may look to reinforce their dominance by growing both organically and through acquisition, initially in the core FLAP markets.
There will be challenges, however. There are major constraints on power availability in some jurisdictions, and freehold sites in prime location are scarce. Those developers which show some degree of flexibility in their approach are likely to have most success in developing new sites.
