Bandwidth has become like any other utility such
as power and water in many ways except one –
sometimes when we need burst capacity the bandwidth
we need is not there, or it’s very expensive.
Other times, such as out of hours or on weekends,
we have excess bandwidth sitting around doing nothing
;it’s not a good use of a scarce resource.
With flexibility and lean operations becoming the
watchwords for every business, there must be a better
way of managing bandwidth.
This includes the peak times when we need more of it,
and the down times, when we have too much.
Nowadays there’s ample bandwidth for trading to
become viable, matching the needs of those who need
extra capacity with the bandwidth assets of
those who have the capacity. The trick is finding a way
to match peaks with the troughs.
A residential ISP has higher demand for bandwidth in
the evenings, when everyone gets home from school
and work, whereas a large business will find most of
its bandwidth is required during the working day for
its staff.
For that large enterprise, the perfect way to leverage
its assets,and operate in a leaner
manner, is to make that excess capacity available for
trading, whether for money, or some other form of
commodity.
It’s not as though there is a lack of precedence for
bandwidth development, either. Electricity, for example,
is already traded in this manner
through the national interconnection network.
Today we have an interconnection through Megaport,
which allows the bandwidth
trading to take place, connecting buyers and sellers
in a sustainable
market matching the needs of one with excess capacity
against another with the need for 'green' capacity.
For large enterprises with excess capacity, particularly
at night or on the weekends, intabank makes it possible
to monetise capacity which
would otherwise be sitting there, doing nothing. And for
end-users who need capacity, whether it’s a burst need or
something slightly longer term,
the system allows them to access bandwidth in an open
market, price matching the capacity they need and the
duration they need it for.
Ultimately we see bandwidth as something that can be
provided as a sustainable service, rather than just as fixed
infrastructure.
For businesses looking to become leaner and more agile,
the concept of environmental sustainability of telecom
infrastructure
is something that’s been coming for a long time –
Lumogroup has developed state of the art quantum technology
concepts in order to stimulate environmental sustainability via
the implementation of innovative technological infrastructures.
Our innovative solar 5G drone and smartphone quantum
technology is an eminent part of this development.
It's our mission to make quantum technology implemented
in telecom networks more accessible in developing countries
and areas with low mobile coverage in general in a
way that provides a window of opportunity to introduce
innovative sustainable technologies that show a magnificent
compatibility within its social-cultural,economical
and natural environment.
Improving accessibility and compatibility of communication
services through the implementation of innovative quantum
technology in developing countries provides us with an
excellent window of opportunity to research and develop
appropriate technological concepts to find the appropriate
solutions for implementing quantum technology in
communication networks in other geographic areas.
