CASE STUDY
Belgian carrier expands within Europe PoP Stars
To meet increasing demand and establish its presence in Europe, edpnet needed a point of presence to handle high-density set-ups, with access to an array of carriers and customers.
Edpnet is an independent Belgian telecom carrier that offers services worldwide. Created by Belgian entrepreneur Philip Deutz, the company specialises in affordable, high capacity connections across Europe, Russia and the USA.
Challenges To meet mounting demand for bandwidth from all corners of the globe, telecom providers face strong growth and competition in order to establish a presence within the market. According to Philip Deutz, MD
of edpnet, the increased demand for mobile and video content has added another element of competition to the
telecommunications market and fi rms need to work even harder when it comes to staying ahead of competitors. “2011 has yet again seen huge
demands for increased levels of bandwidth. While we welcome this, we are aware of the challenges this represents. The main challenge we face is ensuring we are able to offer a personalised, quality service and optimal performing network, all at a price that is attractive to the customer,” stated Philip Deutz. To meet these demands, the company
needed to set up a Point-of-Presence (PoP) that would allow it to expand within the European market. Doing so would allow the company to meet the
demands of tomorrow’s internet, and achieve a key objective of becoming a leading European telecommunications provider with market presence of at least fi ve per cent in each European country. It needed a data centre that could handle high-density set-ups, with access to a wide array of possible carriers and customers.
Solution To establish a strong European presence, connectivity was key. By setting up a PoP within Telehouse’s data centre in the heart of London Docklands, edpnet has access to over 400 carriers, ISPs and ASPs, all of which are currently colocated at Telehouse.
Increased demand for mobile and video content has added another element of competition. 48 NETCOMMS europe Volume II Issue 3 2012
