  1. Managing Site Access Rapid and temporary site deployment with 3G and beyond Andrew Massing Head of Product Development

  2. Getting connected is still a challenge!

  3. What Timico does - PWAN Colocation Monitoring Backup Timico Network Managed Firewall Remote Workers Third Party Applications Scalable for HQ, branch, home and site offices

  4. Mobile devices on your network USB Modems Mobile Wi-Fi hotspots 3G Routers Mobile has become just another IP endpoint

  5. What’s wrong with mobile broadband? • VPN needed for secure access • Unreliable • Slows performance • Uses more data • No control over the Internet connection • No policy enforcement • No cost control • NAT, PAT, proxies, caching, traffic shaping & content filtering Mobile broadband services are built for consumers not for business

  6. Mobile Access Management • Fully managed, private APN service • Control Internet access or restrict it entirely • Ensures policy compliance for mobile users • No VPN client needed on the devices • Easy integration of mobile devices into the WAN

  7. How our customers are using MAM • Remote access for smart phones & tablet users • Rapid or temporary site deployment • Permanent site where fixed access is difficult or expensive • Business Continuity • Machine 2 Machine

  8. Router options FortiWifi + 3G Dongle Cisco 1900 & 800 Series + 3G data card Technicolor TG582n + 3G dongle Bintec RS230au+ with integrated 3G module Indoor and outdoor 3G antennas

  9. Rapid site deployment Timico APN Site Office WAN Fixed Broadband or Ethernet

  10. CASE STUDYMark HardcastleGB Group

  11. Who are The GB Group? • 100+ year old solutions provider of Construction, Development, Energy, IT and Management services • Operating in a variety of sectors, including commercial, residential, care, education, student and hotel and leisure sectors • Five offices across England • 74% of workload generated through repeat business

  12. Typical site stats • Usually operating up to 30 active sites at any one time • Typical lead time from site acquisition to occupancy is 1 month • Average time on site is between 6 and 24 months • Average number of IT users on site is typically between 5 to 10 • On average have 2 sites starting per month

  13. Previous challenges on new sites • Location • Service coverage • Excess Construction Charges • Time to deploy • Adequate bandwidth • Service reliability & resilience • Minimum contract commitments • VPN compatibility • Loss of productivity in early stages of job

  14. RSD solutions used previously • Trialled other alternatives to fixed broadband provision, including: • Normal 3G and VPN • Satellite

  15. The MAM trial • Two month trial • Alternative access to crucial IT systems without dependence on a fixed data circuit • Cisco router with 3G modem + Timico private APN + Timico PWAN • Router which can be relocated to an alternative site or kept in place as a permanent back up solution

  16. Using MAM in practice • Quick to deploy – a matter of hours rather than days or months • Connects directly to the network so no VPN access required • Can be set up from one single IP address which can be re-used • Business grade connectivity • Can also be deployed for staff moving between sites

  17. Benefits to GB Group • Rapid Site Deployment costs are minimal • No time lost onsite waiting for connectivity • Solution can be deployed and then moved to a new site once fixed comms are in place • Enables use of a wide variety of systems and applications onsite

  19. Site evolution connectivity Number of people on site Time 3G over APN ADSL / FTTC EFM Ethernet / EAD ADSL / FTTC 3G over APN

  20. Connectivity services • 3G (with or without private APN) • Broadband • ADSL2 (BT or O2) • FTTC • FTTP • Dedicated Ethernet Services • Fibre • Copper • GEA • Radio • Multiple providers brings diversity and coverage options

  21. Adding IP telephony services • Centralised secure infrastructure • Rapid deployment • Feature-rich user experience • Highly mobile solution • Local geographic numbers • Personalised routing control • Collaboration features • Business continuity

  22. Phone, softphone, tablet or PC

  23. Network monitoring & alerting • Real-time 24/7 monitoring and diagnosis presented on your own bespoke portal • Real-time event notification • Custom tests for key services such as Voice over IP • Cisco Netflow data for deep level diagnostics • Automated configuration and firmware management
