Fibre overlooked in UK infrastructure planning
  • Posted on 1st November 2025 in by Phil Alsop

Lee Myall, CEO of Neos Networks, outlines how, over the past decade, there’s been a huge amount of investment in last-mile fibre builds, but core fibre networks across the country have received much less attention. Without them, workloads cannot move between data centres, data cannot be trained, and investments stall. The UK has the ambition, the demand and the regional readiness to lead in AI, but, as Lee explains, if we don’t address fibre gaps, we risk losing out on one of the greatest economic opportunities of our generation.

Dynamism and energy - key to the BCS new brand
  • Posted on 29th October 2025 in by Phil Alsop

Anna Rantala, Marketing Manager at BCS, discusses the company’s new branding – a refresh that is about showing the world the BCS that already exists - modern, dynamic, and human at its core. Anna explains how the new branding is the platform to grow into the next decade and ‘gives space to our people and culture, the part of BCS that clients always tell me makes the biggest difference. It might feel like a big change, but the truth is we’ve been this brand all along. We just weren’t showing it’.

Legacy data centres - time for open heart surgery?!
  • Posted on 29th October 2025 in by Phil Alsop

Simon Harris, Director of Critical Infrastructure at BCS, discusses the role that legacy data centres have in supporting the development of AI, with inferencing seen as a major opportunity. Simon outlines the challenges of making legacy data centres ‘AI ready’, suggesting that many, if not all, such facilities, need to recognise the importance of refurbishment if they are not to miss out on not just the current AI boom, but also the ongoing, general digital transformation expansion.

Aston University helps tackle the soaring data centre energy use
  • Posted on 29th October 2025 in by Phil Alsop

Dr Aleksandr Donodin, based in the Aston Institute of Photonic Technologies (AIPT), has received just one of 12 fellowship grants from The Royal Academy of Engineering to support his work examining fibre-optic networks to find solutions to the increasing power demands of data centres. Dr Donodin will be exploring the use of the networks and bringing together bismuth-doped fibre amplifiers which have tiny amounts of the metal bismuth added to them, and optical frequency combs which are used to measure and control light very accurately. It will be the first time this combination is explored in detail and if successful could cut power consumption in optical networks by 30–50% per bit. It will also enable O-band range of light wavelengths to reach transmission capacities beyond 200 terabytes per second.

Collaboration, connection times and capacity the key to delivering future data centre resilience
  • Posted on 29th October 2025 in by Phil Alsop

Pete Aston, Specialist Connections Engineer at Roadnight Taylor, discusses the findings of a new report Powering Great Britain’s Data Centre Ambitions, explaining how data centre developers are facing mounting grid connection challenges that can derail even the most promising projects. The interplay between technical, regulatory and commercial complexities in grid connections creates challenges that most developers underestimate until they’re deep into the process. Pete is confident that, with the right planning and collaboration in place, there is enough grid capacity to meet the data centre industry’s predicted increased power demands into the future.
