Openreach<\/a> (BT<\/a>) has warned of further provisioning delays for UK customers taking their high-capacity data services, specifically their Ethernet Backhaul Direct (EBD) products, which is occurring after the ongoing global shortage of semiconductor chips (here<\/a>) hit their supply of kit from Ciena.<\/p>\n

For those who don’t know, EBD is a capacity solution for securely moving large volumes of data between Openreach<\/a> nodes, which are usually aligned to parent handover exchanges for Fibre-to-the-Cabinet<\/strong> (FTTC<\/a> \/ VDSL2<\/a>) and Fibre-to-the-Premises<\/strong> (FTTP<\/a>) based broadband ISP products.<\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong> The latest delays have not impacted Ethernet Access Direct (EAD) products, which don’t use Ciena’s kit.<\/div>\n

The chip shortage has already impacted some of Openreach<\/a>’s other Ethernet services (example<\/a>), but this has recently begun to disrupt EBD provisions too. As a result, Openreach has applied the status of Matters Beyond Our Reasonable Control<\/strong> (MBORC) to related products, which means they can’t meet their normal service level guarantees \/ SLAs and this helps to protect them from the usual – often costly – repercussions of such delays.<\/p>\n

Last week Openreach informed UK ISPs that they had been working with Ciena, for the past few months, to reduce the impact of the aforementioned delays, which has helped a bit. But sadly, the reduction of component supply has continued to impact their contractual service levels (delays) and so they’ve had to take action.<\/p>\n

The question now is over how long it will take before the situation returns to something approaching normal, which appears to be unclear. Such delays tend to have knock-on impacts for other products and services further down the chain. Last year we reported that some chip shortages were likely to persist through much of 2022, but such predictions do vary between different products and services.<\/p>\n

We did ask Openreach to comment on this toward the end of last week, and we’re still awaiting their response (hopefully later today).<\/p>\n

UPDATE 4:30pm<\/strong><\/p>\n

The comment has arrived.<\/p>\n

An Openreach Spokesperson said:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“The ongoing global shortage in the supply of semi-conductor chips has meant we are experiencing some equipment delays on certain orders for our Ethernet Backhaul Direct (EBD) product – which has meant slightly longer wait times for around a third of specific orders we have in the pipeline.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re working closely with those few customers effected and we continue to monitor the wider situation while working with our supplier to resolve this as early as possible. We\u2019re starting to see some improvement in wait times so don\u2019t expect this to be a prolonged situation.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
