Due to on going improvements to the power infrastructure within the BT POP’s, Slough TE requires both the ATS and UPS to be refreshed. Although only Slough is directly effected due to network design customers with services on Kingston & Colindale core’s should also be considered at risk.
Therefore, BT will be undertaking maintenance work within the above window which will require the power feeds to be moved, whilst an ATS & UPS are swapped within the rack. Although the core network router is not expected to experience any loss of service, customers connecting into the adjacent equipment will experience a small period of downtime.
