Challenges and Considerations

Future upgrade possibilities

Every 5 years a new generation of PON technology

Different geographies and installation environments

SFU, MDU Literally no two areas are identical

Filed connectorisation vs preterminated in factory Mechanical splice vs. fusion splicing Home passed vs. connected homes / subscriber Scale and speed of deployment Network sharing

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 ONTs 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

Future upgrade - XG-PON

XG-PON2 will be specified in a later phase

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 / inhouse 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

China Chooses Connectorisation

On April, 2008, Chinas 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 MDUs Case studies

Why MDUs ?

50% of population living in MDUs 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

Medium density fiber solution. The frame provides mounting locations for termination, splice , vam and storage modules. Maximum termination density is 960 or 1440 fibers. It is a completely front-facing frame with modular capabilities and allows back-to-back or against wall installation. A lower trough allows multiple frames to be mounted in a continuous lineup. The bays has 10 module positions and can hold a maximum of 10 termination modules ( 72, 96 or 144 pos) and can ( in another configuration) - hold a maximum of 2 splice modules + 6 termination modules (72 or 96 pos)= 576 termination and splices within 900 mm x 300mm footprint with use of external IMP The bay can also hold VAM (value added modules) modules ( = same size as termination odules) . The empty bay comes with front doors and end panels are only needed when using external IMPs (Interbay management panels). Height 2200 mm Width 600 mm ( MX6-TSF8030 : 800mm) Depth 300 mm
