Nigel Purdy, Head of Networks Engineering, O2 UK said: In working in partnership with BT Wholesale, we have a solution that takes care of our growing access and bandwidth needs while enabling us to realise greater cost efficiencies. It allows O2 customers to experience a better mobile broadband experience and significantly reduces our access transmission whole life cycle costs.
Sally Davis, chief executive of BT Wholesale, said: Communications providers want to secure revenue growth from new services without risking upfront capital and operational investments.
Consumers are increasingly using mobile devices to access and send data such as photos, video, gaming and high speed web browsing. These bandwidth-hungry applications put considerable strain on backhaul networks. BT is able to design, tailor and manage the access network and cater to the demands that O2s customers are increasingly putting on the network.
