| Vodafone says that, like all the other leading operators, it has seen unprecedented demand for its fixed and mobile estate and says it has learned lessons from its global estate to keep UK services up and running. On 25 March, Vodafone said it had seen an increase of about 30% in internet traffic over its fixed and mobile networks and had seen fixed telephony traffic rise by more than 25% and mobile voice traffic by 42%.As well as the core, the company said it needed to work on the 526 aggregation zones around the UK, managing capacity for areas the size of Bristol, Manchester or part of London, and working at the BT exchanges that handle the connections from customers’ homes. Vodafone noted it was at the latter sites where congestion may occur for broadband customers and so engineers were increasing the number of links the exchange could handle.Simon Gordon, senior media relations manager at Vodafone UK, told Computer Weekly that another thing the operator was seeing was that the location from which most traffic was coming had changed rapidly over the last few weeks. Whereas most traffic had previously come from city centres, now much more was coming from suburbs and smaller locations as people were social distancing and self-isolating.Gordon said Vodafone UK was fortunate in that, as a company with a wide European base, it had learned lessons from what had happened in Spain and Italy in recent weeks. “We are quite fortunate to be part of a larger group,” he said. “It’s got a lot of experience of what’s happening in Italy and Spain, which are about a week or so ahead of us. So, we’re taking key learnings from there and applying them to the UK. For example, the lockdown.He also emphasised that Vodafone was adhering to a well laid-out business continuity plan and working out the many scenarios it could still face. “Again, it’s working with our colleagues around the world to work out where we might need capacity and what trend patterns there are,” he said. “What’s happening with other markets is also very useful. Everyone now is reliant on connectivity, so we do play a pivotal role, and that’s probably not going to change any time soon.” -- ???????? | |||
