But market dynamics are changing..

The increase in broadband capacity is

changing the market dynamics
Cost Challenge

Video and content-rich services are booming

Traffic

Affordable fixed and wireless broadband, proliferation of

smart devices, multiplicity of multimedia/video
applications

and users access 3rd party apps and content

more and more
Paid for by advertisers, free to end-users network
providers extract limited value

So what does this mean for Fibre Access?

Revenues
Mainly
voice
Multimedia/multiservice

Time

Operators need to extract more value from Fibre access

Solving two simultaneous challenges:

Enabling service
innovation and
application enablement

Scaling bandwidth at
the lowest cost

Innovation

Requires a change from keeping value in the network to

extracting value from the network

Converging applications onto FTTx access

But what are the benefits?

Mobile Backhaul

Significant CAPEX and

OPEX savings
90% savings using DSL
and 75% using GPON in
stead of leased lines

2G, 3G,
LTE

Good geographic
overlap between FTTx
and cell sites

Business Access

Reduces CAPEX and

But can FTTx meet specialized mobile backhaul and business

access requirements?

Addressing mobile backhaul requirements with FTTx access

Bandwidth: GPON meets the LTE

bandwidth needs and is the
lowest cost fibre technology

FTTx access already meets strict

QoS requirements for 3G/LTE

But FTTx access needs to do

more:

Synchronisation

Converged Network

Optional Redundancy

Physical layer strongest

(GPON, NTR, Synch E)

E1 (CES PW) and Ethernet

GPON feeder, equipment

Temperature Hardened CPE

Strong Integrated Demarcation

SLA verification, policing, fault isolation

How can operators do more with converged access?

Enhance services from 3rd parties
with application enablement
Quality internet TV/gaming
Upstream live video
Cloud computing

Detection of worms and botnets

Optimizing the
delivery of high

Improved IPTV QoE

Maximise services on the

last mile
Reduce cost of delivering
high bandwidth services

FTTx Access will play a key role driving more revenue, enhancing QoE and
lowering costs

Enhancing Access with Application Intelligence

Application awareness driving new revenue
Leverage unique location
and knowledge of the
access node

Dynamic enhancement and SLA enforcement of

services upstream
Upstream detection and blocking of malware traffic

Resource usage analysis on access line to

deliver more services
Selective caching of content can save
considerable network costs and improve QoE

VDSL/GPON/
PTP Fibre

With migration to fiber, the

access node serves a larger
subscriber density

A GPON OLT can serve 10,000 subscribers

(order of magnitude)
Application layer functionalities will
quickly prove-in for larger access nodes

Summary
Fibre Access Nodes need to do more than deliver
high speed broadband
Lowering TCO by converging residential, business and mobile backhaul
applications into a single platform
Add value to applications that flow through access to increase revenue
and enhance QoE
Leverage fibre access nodes to optimise content delivery
