Industry trends in internet services

Globally, internet access is a means to help developing countries leapfrog the development curve. Broadband infrastructure is increasingly being considered as vital as any other public utility. Many governments are funding infrastructure development through grants and entitlement programs. Meanwhile, internet traffic jumped by 40% during the pandemic and is expected to continue growing by double digits every year. Streaming + Gaming + Social Media industries dominate the usage with 80% of all traffic.

Case study - ISP in Malaysia

Overview

Broadband expansions, 3 links, distance ranging from 1 to 2.5Kms,  Deployed October 2021.

Challenges

  • Fiber is costly and time consuming to deploy
  • Link availability of >99% required
  • High throughput required for optimum end user experience
  • Quick Link deployment to capture market share

Outcomes

  • CENTAURI 10Gbps link deployed in less than half a day and link performance has shown high bandwidth and reliability
  • Client considering rapidly expanding enterprise connectivity
  • Centauri now the default alternative to fiber for network expansion

ISP Challenges

The COVID-19 pandemic has created demands which are opposing in nature. On the one hand, internet traffic and demand from consumers have increased rapidly, while on the other, lockdowns have delayed internet infrastructure build out.

Changing business, customer churn
Time to market, competition, capture market share
Effectively test new markets
Increase in data traffic
Lockdowns delay in fiber deployments

Technology challenges

Long time to deploy

FIBER

To lay fiber takes time, it requires digging a trench, laying conduits and then restoring back to original.

High costs

FIBER

The civil works around laying fiber makes this proposition quite expensive.

Causes disruption to the environment

FIBER

Digging and trenching causes disruption to the environment.

Spectrum congestion

RADIO

Ports need to allocate RF spectrum to many different port operations.

Requires regulatory approvals

RADIO

Certain frequency bands require regulatory approvals and license fees.

Low security

RADIO

Radio links can be easily intercepted and the data can be eavesdropped on.

Limited future capacity

RADIO

eBand Radio operates at 80Ghz and has limited headroom for future bandwidth capacities.

Suffers from throughput throttling

RADIO

Most radio solutions are layer 2 and employ bandwidth throttling in less than ideal conditions.

Solutions for ISPs

Challenge

Fiber ring incomplete or new backbone ring required. Fiber takes long to build, delayed by Covid or right of way. RF Challenges.

Solutions & Benefits

Centauri provides quick deployment of 10 Gbps links up to distances of 3 km. Operators can build a backbone ring in days, quickly capture market share and start generating additional revenue.

Challenge

New geography to serve, no existing fibre link. Fibre takes long to build, delayed by Covid or right of way. RF Challenges.

Solutions & Benefits

Centauri allows operators to connect OLT with 10Gbps links up to 3km in a matter of days. 2000 homes @$20 translates to $480K / per year. Centauri RoI < 1 month. In competitive scenario, capturing subscriber base is critical as switching costs are high once a subscriber commits.

Challenge

Fibre takes long to build, delayed by Covid or right of way. RF Challenges. Test new market (suburb, geography).

Solutions & Benefits

Centauri allows operators to build mesh backbone with 10 Gbps links in a matter of days. In competitive scenario, capture subscriber base is critical as switching costs are high once subscribers commit. Lightweight device, can be easily redeployed to new locations.

Challenge

Last mile fibre unavailable. Fibre takes long to build, delayed by Covid or right of way. RF Challenges.

Solutions & Benefits

Operators can build high speed access to home and corporates in days. This allows them to capture market share and start generating additional revenue. Lightweight device, can be easily redeployed to new locations.

HP LeeManaging Director, Teleplex Solutions Sdn Bhd.

“In Malaysia, connecting the last mile for rural areas remains a challenge for both government and enterprises, due to having to deal with difficult terrain when laying fiber cables. Partnering with Transcelestial means that we can offer a solution that enables total wireless connectivity using laser communications to reach out to the previously unreached, and also provide a less-costly alternative for fast connectivity in urban settings.”

“
Mash KhanCEO, LinkQuest FZCO

“The UAE currently faces two essential communication hurdles: spectrum congestion and network outages. Transcelestial wireless laser comms offers the best solution to address these head-on, being spectrum-free and not susceptible to fiber-related downtime. Partnering up means we can offer a less costly, time-saving alternative to customers whose connectivity plans are delayed by fiber cuts or right-of-way issues, often caused by fiber cables that can take months to resolve.”

“
Hendra LesmanaCEO, NTT Indonesia Technology

“Network-connected device types are multiplying, bringing important implications for the ecosystem of wired and wireless technologies, products, and services that will provide a foundation for tomorrow’s digital economy. This creates new demands for connectivity. Our new partnership with Transcelestial will combine the best of advanced technology and services and help our clients in Indonesia achieve secure and high-speed connectivity to fuel their innovations and gain competitive advantage.”

“
Batmunkh KhurelbatCEO, BestComputers

“Transcelestial’s wireless laser communications fills a gap for our customers who need an alternative to fixed-line infrastructure. This partnership with Transcelestial diversifies our portfolio offerings to ensure that we can truly uplift all Mongolians who lack access to high-speed connectivity.”

“
Jason KhuaGeneral Manager, Synetcom

“Campus environments face scaling challenges when trying to improve the quality of connectivity between buildings that are far apart. Currently, organisations only have two viable options – the first is deploying fiber cables which comes with a dollar and time cost to set up, the second is radio frequency-based solutions which are subject to interference from other channels and they lack security assurances. With Transcelestial’s technology, organisations get the best of all worlds – performance, quick to deploy and cost-effective, and without having to sacrifice quality connectivity for security.”

“
Tony SoGeneral Manager, Cyber On-Air

“Always-on connectivity has become more important than ever and solutions like Transcelestial’s offers a very strong value proposition for Cyber On-Air’s customers. We were impressed by the performance of their wireless laser technology, which also catered to environmental conditions specific to Hong Kong’s market, like monsoon seasons.”
