Openreach, LLU, Ethernet and NGA (2006 – Today)
Openreach formed in January 2006 to deliver underpinning
infrastructure under Equivalence of Input (EOI) terms for all
Stimulation of competition in higher layer network services
– Massive Non-BT LLU growth to >7m lines (from <1m) and
Wholesale Line Rental at >7m, copper growth in last 5 quarters
– Huge growth in Ethernet backhaul services at 27% CAGR.
– Enabling real network based competition
– A catalyst for industry innovation
– Underpins the biggest entertainment brands in UK
UK Broadband availability and competitiveness remains
amongst the highest in the G8
– But growing demands for increasing broadband speeds and better
quality of service
Now enabling Superfast Broadband for the industry
– Open access Ethernet bitstream model
– Next wave in Broadband investment, looking to 10m homes passed
in Spring/early Summer
What is Openreach? A reminder about us and what we have done with industry:
Creation of NGA Wholesale Open Access Model
– Scale and pace of commercial deployment
– Building on Openreach’s Equivalence Management Platform (EMP)
– The UK’s Communications Provider Eco-system
– Carrier Ethernet Solutions:
• VULA/ALA for NGA plus high capacity business Ethernet over fibre
• Openreach Handover Points
– Physical Options:
• FTTC – VDSL2
• FTTP – GPON
Part of a Broadband Mixed Economy
– Fixed and Wireless
– Exchange based DSL and NGA Fibre
– UK is one of the most mature broadband communities
Understanding how Openreach is enabling open access
NGA and Superfast Broadband.
Ethernet to enable Physical Media Independence
– FTTC VDSL2
– FTTP GPON
Criticality of Scale and Pace in our Market Model
– Global experience suggests NGA take-up grows steadily and take-up is partial
• Overlay model for now
– FTTC enables rapid deployment and speedy provision
– VDSL2 performance improvements
• ANFP changes to enable – up to 80Mb/s
– FTTP where cost case is compelling
• New sites, MDU (a relatively small % in UK), low cost deployments
– FTTP Fibre on Demand in FTTC areas
• To enable high demand clusters and 300Mb/s service rates
Evaluating the Mixed Economy Model: FTTC and FTTP
Openreach has enabled a very rapid commercial deployment to the denser parts of
the UK.
– Based on standard scale, solutions
Final third premises are significantly more challenging
Openreach’s equal access model will enable consumer choice in final third where
funding, e.g. BDUK, can close the gap to the commercial case
We have innovated and will continue to innovate to address a more sparse footprint
– No one size fits all:
• Longer reach
• High cost backhaul – wireless to the cabinet
• Solution options for rural e.g. aerial cable options
• Community dig
• Copper rearrangement to create new injection points
• RDSLAM cabinet options e.g. All-in-one
• WTTP e.g. Trials of TVWS, Wifi, 3G/4G, ...
Enhancing cost effective coverage through Openreach’s
latest fibre innovations
With footprint we expect the industry to start to drive take-up
– Value and life enhancing applications are the key
– We expect these to be video rich, supporting multiple concurrent users and growth in use of
upload
– Usability and ease of access are fundamental
We have enhanced our offerings and our services.
– Multi-cast to enable linear TV
– Quality of Service and SLAs
– FVA enables voice access in a fibre only world
• Open Access telephony
– We are starting the debate with industry on connected home.
Wireless edge to NGA
– Will support millions of Wifi access points, ...
– Trialling small cells and TV white space
Determining how to broaden the range of service
propositions to enable success for communications
service providers.
