BT engineers new digital network infrastructure for ABB

12 January 2022 - 10:00AM

PR Newswire (US)


LONDON, Jan. 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- BT today announced it is working with ABB to elevate its internationally managed communications infrastructure to new levels of performance, choice and agility to support the company's new operating model. It follows the signing of a new contract between the two companies.

BT transforms ABB's network infrastructure to create a sustainable, resilient and secure core platform featuring a highly automated and data-driven managed service.

The new contract builds on an existing agreement, signed in 2014, under which BT consolidated and optimised the leading global technology company's international communications infrastructure. Working with ABB's Information Systems team, BT will now transform the network infrastructure to create a sustainable, resilient and secure core platform featuring a highly automated and data-driven managed service.

Security is a top priority for ABB as it executes its cloud strategy, which includes consolidating data centres and moving more applications and data into the cloud. BT will enable ABB's cloud-first ambitions with an end-to-end, compliant, multi-layered cyber security environment. It will deploy, manage and monitor over 1,100 end-point devices, continuously verifying every device, user and application accessing the network.

The communications infrastructure will reliably and securely connect people, devices and machines at over 600 facilities in 60 countries. Using the latest software-defined networking technology, it will offer ABB a choice of connectivity options for each site, including 5G access.

It will also provide ABB with a new software-driven platform delivered over Wifi 6 to enable mobility and digital manufacturing concepts, such as robotics, Internet of Things (IoT) and Big Data technologies at production sites. Both companies have committed to a co-innovation fund as part of the contract.

By choosing BT, ABB is ensuring its network is delivered by a provider using 100 per cent renewable electricity globally with a commitment to achieving net zero emissions across all its operations by 2030.

"ABB's world-class technology and digital capabilities are deeply embedded in our DNA. Maintaining and improving our innovation, technology and digital leadership is a strategic priority across the company," said Alec Joannou, Group CIO, ABB. "BT is a great fit for our Information Systems function. As our trusted partner, it has helped us keep pace with a dynamic digital landscape and is now evolving our communications infrastructure to support our digital ambitions."

"The cloud-first network and digital managed services we're delivering will further enhance agility across ABB's businesses," said Bas Burger, CEO, Global, BT. "The unique trust between our two companies empowers us to push ahead as we connect ABB's people, devices and machines in a sustainable and responsible way."

rudder...same every day......always knocked first thing before rising back

[eaaxs06] 12/1/2022 08:13

Keep the faith, we'll get there.

Good luck everyone, Sid.

[rudder] 12/1/2022 08:09

Then a lousy open to follow. Wired price action.

every day sees at tick up at the close lately

Out of the handful of super techs aka Apples and Co and into laggards...but for how long can US punters stay out of Apples & Co...

Telco sector has been a dog sector last 5 years...

[reviewwworld] 10/1/2022 18:32

Think it's the value over growth transition so far this year, particularly when you look at the US supersectors (and tech sell off).In the raising rate/higher yield environment, Europe and UK screens best in a global context. For value, a decade long period of underperformance finally sets up UK stocks looking very attractive in a global context.

[rudder] 10/1/2022 17:41

Are we seeing a sector rotation?

Well the Telco sector has been a dog sector for 5 years...

[maywillow] 10/1/2022 14:21

credit where credits due Sid

Like many still awaiting the upwards revaluation of the european telecoms sector

For me, long overdue

[eaaxs06] 10/1/2022 14:15

Thanks for that, sarkasm, it's much appreciated. Price is currently up two and a half pence on a mixed day for the wider market. With Vodafone also up nearly 4% it could well be that telecom stock are coming back in favour with 2022 investors.

Recent intra day high of 177.72p has been topped, next target is 180.82p, with a close above 178.45p, which would be a great sign for a race through the 180’s to higher ground.

Let’s all hope it’s not another false sign and the kiss of death on the share price.

Good luck everyone, all the holders and readers on here, Sid.

stay safe

Any selling for BT seems to be quickly squashed and a healthy bounce in share price ensues. If the markets hold, it could just take one good days performance from BT to push nicely ahead through some upper targets which would be great for confidence in the future run up to Q3 figures on 3rd Feb.

Recent intra day highs to note are 177.72p and 180.82p.

There is still a trio of overnight gaps remaining at 183.95p, 186.75p and 189.65p from 6 months ago, which could easily be challenged with a couple of days’ gains. On the downside the nearest gap is last month’s 164.95p, which hopefully we won’t be visiting in the near future.

Good luck everyone, Sid.
