Challenges and Considerations
• Future upgrade possibilities
– Every 5 years a new generation of
PON technology
• Filed connectorisation vs
preterminated in factory
• Mechanical splice vs. fusion
splicing
• Home passed vs. connected
homes / subscriber
• Scale and speed of deployment
• “Network sharing”
• Different geographies and
installation environments
– SFU, MDU – Literally no two
areas are identical
• Within-apartment/house cabling:
– Existing copper (VDSLoGPON),
Cat 5e, others (e.g. POF)
• Service level requirement
(99.9…%): power back up, MDU
vs. SFU type ONT’s
• Aprroach to video services
(analog overlay with or w/o set-top
boxes, VoIP)

Future upgrade – GPON with C+ optical budget

• Equipment performs above standard (ITU-T G.984.1)

– Optical budget up to 32 dB

– Split ratio up to 1:128

• Currently being deployed

– Typically 1:2 splitter deployed in CO near to OLT keeping 1:64 split

ration in OSP

• Main advantage: less active ports upon homes passed

page 10
Future upgrade - XG-PON

• XG-PON = 10-Gigabit-capable passive optical networks

• Recommendation ITU-T G.987.1
• XG-PON1
– 2.5 Gbit/s upstream path
– Downstream wavelength : 1575 - 1580nm
– Upstream wavelength : 1260 – 1280nm
– Nominal1 (29 dB) and Nominal2 (31dB) at BER of 1E-12
– Split ratio 1:128 to 1:256
– Fiber distance : max. 60km (differential fibre distance of up to 40 km)

• XG-PON2 will be specified in a later phase

– 10 Gbit/s upstream path

• If splitters are connectorized and centralized, upgrade of passive access

infrastructure requires only gradual swap of 1:32 splitters with AWG’s when
rolling out DWDM-PON

Filed connectorisation vs. preterminated in factory

Mechanical splicing vs. fusion splicing

• Fusion splicer costs more and requires technicians with higher skill
set … on the other hand:

– Low material cost per splice (splice protector only)

– Proven performance over time and temperature

• Which technology to go with ? Depends on local circumstances …

• Typically mechanical splicing used only after splitter for drop / in-
house cabling

page 15
Home passed vs. subscriber

• Home passed / home connected are technical terms – subscriber is

marketing issue

• Take rate (subscriber/home passed) ?

Ideally 100%, but what if less … ?

– Especially key in areas with competition (like a CATV operator/MSO)

and where low take rate is expected for broadband services

– Significant part of investment goes into OLT ports and splitters which
can be optimized through optimal splitter positioning

page 16
Splitter deployment strategy

• Optical splitters are used in a PON deployment to provide the most effective
use of the OLT electronics

– Typically 1 x 64 or 1 x 32 split ratio to overcome optical budget bandwidth

constraints especially when planning on video overlay

• Optimum placement of splitters in the network is key for best OLT utilization
and reducing operational expenses

• So where to locate the splitters is a critical decision !

• Options (many different approaches, 2 examples):

– Cascaded (distributed) and spliced-in

– Centralized and connectorized

• Concept : Splitters located in FDT and FAT locations and spliced in

• Theory : Cascading splitters in OSP will minimize the amount of fiber needs to
be deployed to provide service and splicing saving space and cost

• Reality : Cascaded & spliced in splitters reduce distribution cable material

costs, but creates inefficient use of OLT equipment and increase trouble
shooting difficulty

• Concept : All splitters located in FDT locations and connectorized

• Theory : Centralizing the splitter locations for a neighborhood will maximize

OLT utilization and provide a single point of access for troubleshooting

• Reality : Provides optimum OLT port utilization in less than 100% take rate
builds and provides easy craft access for troubleshooting

page 19
 Splitter Deployment Strategy
Summary

Cascaded vs Centralized Splitter Comparison

Cascaded Approach Centralized Approach
Fewer distribution fibers needed More distribution fibers needed
Good for widely scattered rural areas May not be as good for widely scattered rural
areas
Smaller FDT needed, larger FAT needed Larger FDT needed, smaller FAT needed
Difficult trouble shooting through multiple splitter easy trouble shooting from centralized access /
locations splitter location
Works for 100% take rate deployments Works well for take rates less than 100%
OLT capacity is stranded in less than 100% take OLT utilization is optimized in all take rate
rate application applications
Higher overall splitter loss Lower overall splitter loss
May have a higher failure rate due to more splitter May have a lower failure rate due to fewer splitter
devices in field devices in field

• Bottom Line : For the majority of applications a centralized splitter approach

may provide the most cost effective flexible network architecture for and FTTP
deployment.

page 20
Approach in General

• Our portfolio can support both and any possible combinations, yet
…

– as a general rule we recommend: placement of splitters centralized and

connectorized in OSP as much as it is feasible to reach optimum
between fiber use, OLT port utilization and operational expenses

– Also we drive product evolution to reduce number of splices needed to

connect homes to FTTH networks, thereby increasing speed of
deployment, improving quality of installation and reducing overall
deployment cost

Fiber Distribution HUB’s (FDH)

to reach optimum between fiber use, OLT port utilization and operational

China Chooses Connectorisation

• On April, 2008, China’s Minister of

Information Industry (MII) released the
China FTTH National Standard, which
went into effect on October 1, 2008

• Written by China Telecom Design

Institution, but influenced heavily by
members of Asia Pacific FTTH Council.

• This document advocates a

connectorized approach throughout the
network, even for feeder cables

Solutions for MDU’s
Case studies
Why MDU’s ?

• 50% of population living in MDU’s in Europe

• FTTP deployment starting in urban areas

• Limited space for cables and “boxes”

• Equipment installation and cabling has to be fast

– Building owners and tenants often want minimal disruption of their

everyday life, and desire FTTP installation in as little time as possible

• Every MDU is different and requires significant flexibility to adjust to

local building requirements
