Next Generation Access Technologies Practical Considerations AFTER

description

New technologies options include WDM-PON, VDLS2 bonding, G.fast, and more. In addition, there are new compression techniques and noise mitigation that extend the life of existing networks. Which approaches are practical, necessary and beneficial and what factors determine the best path to take?

A Peek at New Technologies

Technology Projected BW Availability Promised Benefit

G.Vector 80-100 Mbps 2011 Improvements from reduction in crosstalk interference

Super MIMO 100 to 300 Mbps (Vendor specific)

TBD Increased bonded link capacity via ‘phantom’ pair

10G GPON / GEPON

Splitter dependent

2013 and beyond

Backwards compatible with existing PONs

NG-PON2 40+ Gbps aggregate

2015 and beyond???

Much higher bandwidth per subscriber

Considerations – Infrastructure

Other Infrastructure Considerations

RF vs IPTV

Spectral management – DSL and PONs

Aerial vs buried, right-of-ways, pole vs pad vs retrofit

CO / RT OSPCO / RT OSPCO / RT OSP

FTTC Point to Multipoint

Point to Point

Considerations – Vectoring

Vectoring has much promise but performance will vary

Value is directly proportional to its widespread use in the OSP

Pairs that are not within the vectored group can negatively impact pairs within the group by having power levels too high

Benefits of vectoring most measurable at loops less than 4 kft

Rate predictability should improve but reach remains an Achilles heel

Best results come when all pairs are vectored

2.5 GPON Migration Options

Option 1: 10G GPON Coexistence

2.5 GPON ONTs designed anticipating 10G GPON standard

Option 2: Deploy blocking filters on existing ONTs

Labor and truck roll intensive, makes sense in limited volumes

Option 3: Utilize 10G only on new PONs

Easiest approach from an operational and cost point of view

Option 4: Replace old ONTs

Makes sense in areas with depreciated or pre-2.5 GPON ONTs

Option 5: Shift to Point-to-Point GE

Auto-sensing ONTs mitigate operational and technical challenges

May need to reinforce feeder fibers

Option 6: No migration needed, happy with 2.5 GPON
