KDDI TELEHOUSE where their customers will be tomorrow . Their Tokyo research and development engineers are investing in developing technologies that will be game-changers in our future .
“ We help many enterprises adapt to make their business sustainable and efficient now and in the future ,” said Kurita .
“ One good example is in the IoT arena . Our IoT solution was adopted by some major automobile companies and our SIM cards are embedded into their automobiles on a global scale . For instance , KDDI has collaborated with Toyota Motor North America and AT & T who provide 4G LTE connectivity . It ’ s adding a feature of data communications to the legacy car function itself – our platform is helping those automobile companies to collect and analyse the behavior of how they drive . I think that is a very exciting business model shift .
Strategic acquisitions On the subject of global acquisitions , Kurita said , not limited to the data centre business , but for KDDI as a whole , they were always open to this as long as it had synergy with their existing service portfolio .
Looking ahead , Kurita outlined some of the main expansion plans for TELEHOUSE . “ We ’ ll be launching our new Dockland campus , TELEHOUSE South in early 2022 which is just 300 meters from our existing London Docklands campus . A network of dark fiber cables will facilitate integration with the existing Dockland campus . This location enables customers to benefit from low latency

TELEHOUSE DOCKLANDS – WORLD ’ S MOST CONNECTED DATA CENTRE
TELEHOUSE Docklands North became Europe ' s first purposebuilt neutral colocation facility when it opened in 1990 and is the most connected data centre in the world .
London Internet Exchange ( LINX ) traffic has been moving through the carrier-neutral TELEHOUSE campus since 1994 due to the number of carriers present in the data centre and the level of latency .
In August 2016 , TELEHOUSE Europe added to the facility and opened a $ 177 million North Two data centre of 24,000 square metres which is the only UK data centre to own a 132 kV on-campus grid substation that is directly connected to the National Grid , reducing transmission losses and improving power density and service continuity .
TELEHOUSE London North is listed as most populated data centre in EMEA by the data centre rankings working with more than 530 network carriers , ISPs and ASPs . businesschief . com 389
