FTTx is translating into numbers

FTTx market is gaining momentum offering 50Mb/s and beyond

FTTx subscribers in 2007:

8,2% of all fix BB subscribers


11,6% of all fix BB subscribers


16,7% of all fixed BB subscribers

But market dynamics are changing…..

Cost Challenge

Traffic

Revenues

Time

Mainlyvoice

Multimedia/multiservice

Video and content-rich services are booming…Affordable fixed and wireless broadband, proliferation of smart devices, multiplicity of multimedia/video applications

… and users access 3rd party apps and content more and morePaid for by advertisers, free to end-users – network providers extract limited value

So what does this mean for Fibre Access?

The increase in broadband capacity is changing the market dynamics


Operators need to extract more value from Fibre access

Solving two simultaneous challenges:

Requires a change from keeping value in the network toextracting value from the network

Enabling service innovation and

application enablement

Innovation

Scaling bandwidth at the lowest cost


Driving towards the 3rd Wave of Broadband Access EvolutionApplication Enabled Access

#1 in VDSL

#1 in IP DSL

200M Lines

1st wave – Internet AccessInternet access only using ATM technologyBest effort serviceADSL with access rates upto 8Mbit/s

2nd wave – Residential Triple Play AccessVoice, video and data from a single IP/Ethernet access platform Service intelligence for optimizing triple play servicesEmerging next generation access with VDSL and FTTH/GPON delivering +20Mbit/s

3rd wave – Application Enabled AccessResidential, mobile and business applications converge on a single IP/Ethernet/MPLS access platformApplication and subscriber intelligence to extract more value from the networkMass market FTTx delivering 50M and beyond


Converging applications onto FTTx accessBut what are the benefits?

2G, 3G, LTE

Mobile Backhaul

FTTx Access

Business Access

Significant CAPEX and OPEX savings

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

Good geographic overlap between FTTx

and cell sites• Large cells small

cells to femto

But can FTTx meet specialized mobile backhaul and business access requirements?

FTTx enables symmetrical services to SME/Large enterprises

Reduces CAPEX and OPEX

• Driving competitive enterprise prices


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 Physical layer strongest (GPON, NTR, Synch E)

Converged Network

E1 (CES PW) and Ethernet

Temperature Hardened CPE Strong Integrated DemarcationSLA verification, policing, fault isolation

Optional Redundancy

GPON feeder, equipment


Monitor, diagnose and manage the

network

Ethernet OAMMPLS OAM

Detect & recover from

incidents without

impacting users

Link Aggregation,Multi Chassis LAG

ITU G.8031MPLS Fast Recovery

Scaling users;

geographical flexibility

Stacked VLANs, MPLS, VPLS

SLAs that deliver end-to-end

performance

Classify Queue Schedule

Profiles

Turning access into “Ethernet Broadband Business Access”

High bandwidth and symmetrical services across

any access

MEF E-line, E-LAN

Fiber, Copper


How can operators do more with converged access?

E healthSmart meteringDetection of worms and botnets

Enhance services from 3rd parties with application enablement

Enhance Operator services

Optimizing the delivery of high

bandwidth services

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

Maximise services on the last mileReduce cost of delivering high bandwidth services

Tele-presenceVideo conferencingImproved IPTV QoE

Quality internet TV/gamingUpstream live videoCloud computing


Enhancing Access with Application Intelligence

Ethernet/MPLS/Optical IP/Optical

Application awareness driving new revenue

• 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

A GPON OLT can serve 10,000 subscribers (order of magnitude)

Application layer functionalities will quickly prove-in for larger access nodes

VDSL/GPON/ PTP Fibre

With migration to fiber, the access node serves a larger

subscriber density

Leverage unique location and knowledge of the

access node


Summary

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

Fibre Access Nodes need to do more than deliver high speed broadband

Driving towards the third wave of access evolution: Application Enabled Access
