Colt MNO/MBH Strategy & Proposition• Mobile traffic is shifting from Macro to Small Cells (SCs)
– Explosion of mobile data will lead to huge # of SCs deployed (typically in cities)
• Fibre preferred by MNOs for street level SCs connectivity– Carrier Ethernet & Dark Fibre options depending on the MNO model
• Colt brings small cells experience at International basis– Dense network to secure a quick roll out of services inside 47 Metropolitan cities – Mobile operators require backhaul and real estate to deploy their network– Colt has partnered to secure turn-key solution for these two requirements (20k+
turn-key locations already identified in 12 cities)– Colt has established a strong relationship with street asset owners
• Colt already delivered fibre based access connectivity up to 300 Mb/s – ready for LTE-Advanced- on sites located at street level
- Gaining experience in European capitals such as Amsterdam or Berlin- Using different Fibre connectivity, Ethernet /Dark Fibre, and different operational
models, lead either by 3rd party or the MNO directly

Colt SC MBH Architecture – High Level Design
• Protected fibre rings of ~8 sites until DC that can host MNO Network Infrastructure.
• Resiliency provided by the ring topology and relying on protected path
• Colt CPE Modular MSP installed and pre-provisioned in street furniture or street cabinet
• Management of several flows to support several applications on the targeted site

Colt’s SDN/NFV – MNO/MHB Use Cases
Scalability & Agility for MNO/MBH
Access Network
• Challenge: control the cost of the access network connectivity while exponential growth the mobile data traffic (mainly video) and multiplication of end points (due to small cells)
• SDN/NFV value-add:• Virtualise transport elements: vCPE / L4-L7 on demand (e.g. security)• Better Capacity Management: WAN on demand• Self configuration/optimization: WAN automation
