Alternative network provider Brsk, which is busy rolling out a gigabit-capable Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP) broadband ISP network across parts of England, has confirmed that they’re in the “early” process of deploying Novas11’s IP Infusion technology into their network infrastructure.

Specifically, Brsk will be adopting the company’s OCNOS-SP-Plus software to serve as a P Router (i.e. a kind of transit router to the core network) for aggregating Optical Line Terminal (OLT) traffic. The related software runs on Edgecore routers and is platform-agnostic. Brsk is also evaluating other vendors to ensure supply chain redundancy.

At present, it’s still too early in the deployment phase to talk about what kind of return on their investment this might deliver, but the goal of such things is to both enhance their broadband services while also achieving strong cost efficiencies.

Brsk – fuelled by an investment of at least £259m – is currently building out its new network across parts of West Yorkshire, Lancashire, Greater Manchester, Cheshire, and the West Midlands (Birmingham and The Black Country). Suffice to say that anything able to help bring down their costs will support their business model and network expansion.

Steven Glendinning, CTO of Brsk, said:

“We chose IP Infusion technology as it provides significant CapEx and OpEx reductions compared to our incumbent Juniper solutions. Novas11 is a trusted partner that brings value-add, innovation, and excellent lead times. Additionally, we can source a range of other vendor equipment from Novas11 to meet our network requirements, supported by a variety of professional services.”

The operator’s network has so far acquired a total of some 41.2k customers (up from 28k on 1st Mar 2024) and covered 552,000 premises across the country (536,000 Ready for Service, which is up from 486k RFS on 30th Apr 2024). Residential customers typically pay from £23 per month for a 100Mbps (symmetric) package and this rises up to £32 for their top 900Mbps tier on a 24-month term, which includes a router and free installation.

Some 30,000 students and staff at the University of Bristol in England look set to benefit from a series of significant upgrades being delivered by Telent, which will improve both the local WiFi network and upgrade the university’s core network and infrastructure that connects buildings across multiple campus locations.

The company has already completed the design and is now testing the new Wi-Fi solution, which will be deployed across 229 separate campus locations using over 12,000 wireless access points. The full network, once live, should be able to support over 300,000 devices at the same time.

As part of this project, Telent is also designing and implementing a management platform to help the university effectively deliver the new IT services that the network will enable. The design of the network began in 2023 and will be a “multi-year programme of work” to deploy across campus.

Jo Gretton, CEO at Telent, said:

“With an array of devices and technologies now available and necessary to enrich the learning experience of students in the higher education sector, high-performance and world-class connectivity and IT services are essential. The new network will be fundamental to power the university’s mission to continue to attract world-class students and research projects and help drive the University of Bristol up the UK and world university rankings.”

The Modern Network Programme is said to be adopting a “wireless-first” approach that is incorporating “many innovative new features“, although none are specifically mentioned in the announcement itself. As this is such a large project, then Telent has already setup a sort of replica of what they plan to do at their Camberley facility, which has helped to test everything out before deployment.

Customers from a number of different UK mobile operators (mostly Vodafone MVNOs), such as Lebara and TalkMobile, who also own one of Google’s popular Pixel phones – at least the models they still support – have this week been informing ISPreview that the latest June 2024 software (firmware) update seems to have finally fixed WiFi Calling.

For the uninitiated. Wi-Fi Calling (aka – VoWiFi) simply enables consumers with a supporting Smartphone and mobile operator to harness their home broadband ISP or other WiFi connection to make mobile voice calls, instead of using your mobile network. The feature is extremely useful, particularly when away from a good mobile signal, but support can be patchy between different networks and devices.

Google’s Pixel phones have long included support for WiFi Calling, but in the UK it’s become quite a well-known problem that – even on mobile operators that claim to have enabled the feature – getting this to work is often an exercise in frustration. On top of that, knowing whether the issue is down to the operator or the device itself can often be difficult to answer with any confidence (support staff frequently give conflicting responses).

Some people have found solutions via unofficial patches, but these often end up being removed after a reboot or official patch and a longer-term fix has long been desired. The good news is that one of our regular readers (snarpatroid) has spent many months trying to push both Google and, in his case, Lebara, to talk to each other in an effort to resolve the issue (here) and that seems to have paid off in a bigger way than expected.

The first sign of progress came in March 2024, after Lebara’s support team revealed that the issue would be resolved with Google’s next software update for their Pixel devices in June 2024. The good news is that this firmware was finally released yesterday (here) and the early feedback ISPreview has received suggests that it hasn’t only fixed the issue on Lebara, but some other networks too, like TalkMobile (example).

We should point out that both Lebara and TalkMobile are both virtual (MVNO) operators on Vodafone’s national UK network. In other words, if you’re a Pixel owner on another network and still having problems, then it’s possible the June 2024 update might not resolve it for you (such issues often relate to tweaks with specific carrier profiles).

In any case, this should end many months of annoyance for a lot of Pixel owners, and that’s a good thing. But sadly, the June 2024 update doesn’t extend to all of Google’s devices, which is hard luck if you’re still using one of their Pixel 4 or older series.

The European Commission has expressed concern over the acquisition’s funding 

The European Commission (EC) has opened an investigation into UAE-based operator e&’s acquisition of Czech telco group PPF over concerns that it has been “granted foreign subsidies that could distort the EU internal market”. 

Last year, e& made a strategic expansion into the European market by moving to acquire a majority stake in PPF Telecom’s telecoms and infrastructure units in Bulgaria, Hungary, Serbia, and Slovakia. Currently, PPF has 18.1 million mobile subscribers, 1.4 million fixed broadband customers, and 13.2 thousand employees, across these four markets and its home market of the Czech Republic (which was excluded from the deal). 

The EC believes that e&’s “alleged subsidies” consist of an unlimited guarantee from the UAE government and a loan from UAE banks that have directly funded the transaction. Such subsidies distort the internal market of the EU by giving PPF an unfair advantage in the market, and is therefore a potential violation of newly introduced competition rules. 

This regulation came into effect on 12 July 2023 – just weeks before the e& deal was announced – and allows the commission to investigate distortions caused to EU markets by foreign subsidies. 

The EC will assess two things: firstly, whether foreign funding would lead to negative effects on the acquisition process, such as deterring other interested parties from acquiring;0 secondly, whether foreign funding will have negative effects on the internal market after the merger is completed. 

“e& continues to be in constructive discussions with the European Commission on its proposed acquisition of a majority stake in PPF Telecom Group and is working cooperatively towards a conclusion of the authority’s review,” the company said in an email to Reuters. 

A decision is expected from the EC by 15 October.

Elisa’s Distributed Energy Storage (DES) solution will allow Åland Islands’ operator Ålcom to use and store solar energy, reducing its reliance on the national grid

This week, Ålcom, a telecoms operator from Finland’s autonomous Åland Islands, has revealed a new deal with Elisa to use the latter’s DES solution, leveraging solar panels deployed at sites across Ålcom’s mobile network.

Elisa first unveiled its DES solution early last year, saying it intends to turn its Finnish network into the largest virtual power plant in Europe.

The technology works by using AI and machine learning to intelligently charge and discharge energy storage batteries located at mobile sites. In this way, the batteries can purchase and store energy from the national grid when it is most cheaply available, making use of these reserves as needed when prices go up due to increased demand.

As part of the solution, the mobile base stations power consumption can be dynamically altered to balance the availability of energy resources. In some scenarios, this means the sites will even be able to sell excess power back to the energy grid.

Elisa has already deployed this solution across its network in Finland.

Now, this new partnership with Ålcom will not only see the DES tech rolled out across the operator’s mobile network but will also include the integration of solar for the first time. This, the companies say, will not only help reduce the company’s energy costs, but also greatly reduce its carbon footprint.

“We are delighted to add solar energy to our operations with Elisa DES. This investment is part of Ålcom’s continued commitment to sustainability. Including solar production in the energy mix helps us reduce costs and gain flexibility and means to cope with variability and uncertainty in energy generation, demand, and grid availability. DES, in combination with the larger Li-Ion batteries used in the solution, will also be critical should we ever be cut off from the grid for a longer period of time,” said Peter Löfman, Head of Network at Ålcom.

Financial details of the deal were not disclosed.

The Wireless Broadband Alliance (WBA), the global industry body dedicated to improving Wi-Fi standards and services, has today released its report titled “Venue Requirements for User Engagement” which takes a fresh look at how users engage with and access services, how venues can optimize revenues, and create new business opportunities.  The report offers best practice advice on developing a venue’s business case for public Wi-Fi, including how to improve user engagement with the use of OpenRoamingTM and Passpoint technology over legacy captive portal Wi-Fi.

User engagement is a critical element of public Wi-Fi provision. Venues need to understand the users who are connecting to their public Wi-Fi network, as they have a variety of needs ranging from regulatory compliance to commercial models that necessitate engagement. Likewise, users need to be able to use and interact with the Wi-Fi and with the brand that is providing the Wi-Fi.  Unlike captive portals, once a device has been successfully onboarded to an OpenRoaming/Passpoint compliant network, the connection is more secure and future connections will be automatic, while still retaining the ability for venues and network owners to engage with users.

For venues and public Wi-Fi network owners looking to improve engagement with users, the report highlights best practice advice on establishing user needs, network requirements, processes flows, onboarding and device provisioning. 

Drivers for aiming for better user engagement

The report underscores the critical need for industry stakeholders to prioritize user engagement in Wi-Fi network design and operation. By understanding and addressing the requirements of both venues and users, businesses can enhance the overall user experience, reduce costs, and unlock new revenue opportunities.

The benefits for operators and venues that improve user engagement include:

Cost Reduction & Cost Control: Implementing efficient onboarding processes and standardized interfaces can help reduce the costs associated with managing and maintaining Wi-Fi networks, especially for venues with high user traffic.
Increased Revenue Opportunities: By offering seamless and engaging user experiences, venues can attract more users, leading to potential revenue streams through advertising, pay-as-you-go models, or partnerships with third parties and roaming services. For instance, the adoption of OpenRoaming facilitates continuous Wi-Fi connectivity in stores and retail environments, significantly enhancing the shopping experience. It allows customers to seamlessly connect without manual logins, paving the way for real-time promotions and communications that engage customers instantly, without the need for portal logins.
Regulatory Compliance: Understanding and implementing best practices for user engagement can help industry players comply with regulatory requirements related to user privacy, data protection, and network security. For example, certain regulatory bodies and governments mandate that service providers require users to register for Wi-Fi access. This registration helps criminal investigations trace activities where needed. OpenRoaming streamlines this process by enabling automated login once a profile is downloaded.
Competitive Advantage: Industry players that excel in user engagement and provide a seamless Wi-Fi experience can gain a competitive edge in the market, attracting more customers and partners.
Wi-Fi roaming: Facilitated by the WBA’s OpenRoaming Federation, Wi-Fi roaming offers venues a valuable revenue stream and enhanced user experience. It simplifies Wi-Fi connectivity for users, ensuring secure network access and increasing customer satisfaction. Roaming can also be a form of user exchange, allowing seamless connectivity across partnerships, enriching and simplifying the user experience. GDPR guidelines are implemented in OpenRoaming, ensuring customer data privacy and security, which is crucial for maintaining trust and compliance.

Tiago Rodrigues, CEO of the Wireless Broadband Alliance, said: “This report underscores the critical need for industry stakeholders to prioritize user engagement in Wi-Fi network design and operation. By understanding and addressing the requirements of both venues and users, businesses can enhance the overall user experience, reduce costs, and unlock new revenue opportunities.  WBA encourages industry players to consider the best practices identified in the report with different business models applicable to their public Wi-Fi deployment. Enhancing the user journey and user engagement in Wi-Fi networks can ultimately improve the overall user experience and drive business success.”

The report includes insights from industry experts from GlobalReach Technology, Liquid Intelligent Technologies, Cityroam, Google, Marriott International, Single Digits, and other WBA members.

Thomas Locke, Chief Technology Officer, GlobalReach Technology

“Due to the continued success of OpenRoaming and the wider market adoption of technologies like Passpoint, users are now increasingly connecting seamlessly and securely to public Wi-Fi networks. That being said, the desire for brands and users to interact in real-time on a proximity-based level has never been stronger. This report outlines the best practices for brands to offer an enhanced user experience through direct engagement via a secure Passpoint based public Wi-Fi network.”

Ben Roberts, Group Chief Technology and Innovation Officer, Liquid Intelligent Technologies, “Public Wi-Fi business cases are uniquely challenging in emerging markets, and success requires balancing the needs of the Wi-Fi users with those of the network owner. Technology changes all the time; one such example being the emergence of more devices that support Passpoint. These changes open up possibilities for network owners to consider new forms of user engagement. This report provides a reference for network owners and venues to understand the tools available to them to best achieve their business goals while optimizing the user experience.”
