Green data centres at high altitude
Description
The Telecommunications Department of KIVI NIRIA hereby invites you to a theme evening on the use of mediator towers spread over the Netherlands. For this purpose, we will go to the high transmitter mast of Lopik (IJsselstein). Originally, Alticom's media towers enable the transmission of signals for television and radio. Since 2009, Alticom has also been using the space in the towers for data centre services. We will receive lectures on the operation of the towers, the set-up of spaces as data centres and the use of spaces for telecommunication purposes, with an attached tour of several floors.
Due to the physical size of a tower floor, the number of participants is limited. If there is sufficient interest, this evening will be repeated again.
