Epsilon Enables Fast Asset Monetization for Network Operators Via New Bandwidth Trading Solution

More than 400 network operators from across the globe pre-connected to the Epsilon Global Network Exchange will be able to apply the Epsilon Capacity Exchange (eCX) bandwidth trading platform, benefiting from faster asset monetization.


The eCX trading platform has been designed to address two critical issues which typically plague telecom service today – capacity surpluses and shortages.

"Today's telecoms services have to be both lean and agile,” said Andreas Hipp, CEO at Epsilon. “The customary methods of brokering deals can saddle operators with slack capacity while starving fast moving players hungry for extra bandwidth. A true trading system for buying and selling capacity will eliminate these inefficiencies, to everyone's benefit. This is what Epsilon has set out to achieve.”

The new service will be delivered over the eCX trading platform and portal and is supported over the Epsilon Global Network Exchange (eGNE). Using the platform network operators will benefit from standardized assets for trade; real-time inventory of both assets and routes; optimized engine for pricing and trading, which offers a comprehensive market view to buyers; automated and online procurement; standardized and simple options for trading processes and rules.

 The service will also consist of 400 pre-connected buyers and sellers during its launch.

“We have ensured that all legal, commercial and technical prerequisites for real-time bandwidth trading are now in place; global connectivity, SLA and contract agreements, real-time inventory and trading and, of course, market independence,” added Hipp. “Against a historical background of high profile failures, bandwidth trading is controversial for many. But we're not going back to the 90s; instead, we are reinventing bandwidth trading for a new era."

The carrier-neutral position of Epsilon, as well as its Global Network Exchange, allowed the company to focus on the delivery of an advanced solution which lets traders offer an optimized bandwidth service customized to benefit both buyers and sellers.

"Although bandwidth trading has had a chequered past, its potential to bring benefit to the industry has not gone unnoticed or debated in recent years,” said Tim Stronge, analyst at market research firm TeleGeography (News - Alert). “With this new platform, Epsilon certainly has the potential to create a real market of buyers and sellers – we'll be following it with interest."
