Protocol layers• PHY coding sublayer implements FEC

– Uses concept of “FEC inside the 64b66b line code”• Optimized coding patterns specified

– Parity block headers, random‐like burst preamble, and burst delimiter

• MAC control: Minor changes from the existing MPCP– Negotiation of dual rate support, two broadcast channels, FEC

overhead not included in DBA reports

• Largely an effort to control the timing uncertainty caused by multiple clock domains in the system

ONU management

• ONU management follows the long tradition of OMCI from B‐PON and G‐PON

• Integrated full service FCAPS capabilities– Yes, it is complex, but that is what it takes!

• Some liberalization of the message formats– Larger PDUs, for enhanced efficiency

• OMCI standard is now generic (G.988) – Applies to G.984 (G‐PON) and G.987 (XG‐PON) – Applies to G.986 (1GE P2P) – Applied to 802.3av (10GE‐PON)

Outline



Where will 10G appear first?• The standards rush

– IEEE started in 2006: Purported market need was lack of bandwidth in 1GEPON systems and explosion of applications

– ITU quickly followed in 2007: Main objective was to secure the future evolution path in a backward compatible way

• By 2010, the standards and technology was ready– Standards were there, components were sampling, trials completed

• It’s 2011, and still no obvious breakthrough– Capacity crunch still not there, 10G costs still relatively high

• It remains a question: Where will 10G come first?

Page 16

Large MDU deployment

• MDU applications have the following character– High aggregate bandwidth for each ONU (typically 8~24 apartments sit behind each ONU)

– Low sensitivity to optical interface costs (optics are shared)

• MDU’s are therefore a reasonable first step for 10G PON systems– We see initial interests and trials of 10G PONs in the Far East urban areas, where large MDUs predominate

Page 17

MDU deployment scheme

• Feeder fiber to the building, split in basement• Distribute to each floor, ONU in wiring closet• Metallic drop to each apartment

Network rebuilds

• The main body of deployments in the world are G‐PON and 1GE‐PON

• However, before those systems, there was B‐PON– Perhaps 0.5M lines in Japan– Perhaps 2.5M line in the US

• This base of B‐PON is an important focus for 10G– Bandwidth exhaust will hit here first (4x less BW, 8 years sooner)– Equipment is ~4 years older (more cost already amortized, need to

replace anyway, avoid increasing repair costs)

Page 19

Network extension

• First optical deployments took the “easy ground”– Example: Verizon. Out of 30M homes in area, 15M have fiber– The fiber covers the prosperous cities and suburbs

• There is still 50% of the territory uncovered…… but it tends to be less desirable– Rural areas: lower homes/mile means lower profitabilty – Areas in decline: economics predicts lower ARPU

• Can 10G technologies help by more fiber sharing?– This is an economic possibility, but physics gets in the way

XG‐PON Field Trial Overview

Testing confirmed full coexistence with G-PON and video

China 10G‐PON trials

• All three major operators have conducted lab trials of both 10/1GE‐PON and XG‐PON

• Initial testing confirms the expected operation and readiness

• Early field trial has been conducted • Interoperability testing has begun, with quick progress expected

Europe XG‐PON trialsXG-PON lab trials: Openreach, Telefonica, France Telecom, Telecom Italia, Austria Telekom, and Etisalat,

Portugal Telecom has completed a limited field trial of the XG-PON system

Overlay PON

• The initial idea of overlaying G‐PON with XG‐PON was ok, because it avoids unnecessary upgrades– Ordinary users keep their ONUs and stay on G‐PON– Only the “power users” upgrade to XG‐PON

• Problem: power users are randomly distributed• If we keep the ODN unchanged, we must light all the PON

with XG‐PON on day 1 (no revenue, max cost) • Some operators are even discussing grooming the power

users onto separate XG‐PON fibers– This basically defeats the purpose of building an overlay network!

Skipping XG‐PON, getting to 40G‐PON• It would seem that 10G‐PONs are a little early to mkt

– Bandwidth is not needed in the near term– G‐PON has a lot of head room

• If we could skip XG‐PON, and go to 40G‐PON, this would save a lot of deployment churn

• Fully stacked technology is not quite ready– Cost effective tunable Rx is maybe 1 year away– Cost effective tunable Tx is maybe 2~3 years away

• We can develop interim steps from XG to 40G‐PON

Page 34

Stacking‐ready XG‐PON• OLT Tx would be 4 wavelength array of DWDM EMLs

– Only one of these channels would be in use on day 1

• ONU Rx would be a fixed (narrow) wavelength– Thin film filters are widely available today – little issue here.

• ONU Tx would be a conventional uncontrolled DFB laser– Wavelength wanders over 1260 to 1280 nm

• OLT Rx would be an optically amplified multi‐detector arrangement

– One Rx would be wideband to catch the uncontrolled ONUs

Agenda• What is IEC 61300‐3‐35• Best Practices: IBYC• How & where is IEC 61300‐3‐35 used• Tools to comply with IEC 61300‐3‐35• Objective vs Subjective inspection• Summary• Questions

IEC 61300‐3‐35• A set of requirements for Fiber Optic connector quality

• Designed to guarantee insertion loss and return loss performance

• Used as a common reference between supplier & customer or between work groups

• Used as a condition for accurate testing of components or links

IEC 61300‐3‐35 Acceptance Criteria These criteria are designed

to guarantee a common level of performance

Separate criteria for different connector types

D. CONTACT(130–250μm)

No limit None => 10μm

Example of Pass/Fail Criteria (SM-UPC)

IEC 61300‐3‐35 Handling Requirements

• IEC 61300‐3‐35 requires inspection of optical connectors– The connector cannot recover from scratches

– The connector may recover from defects

Inspect Before You Connect!• IEC 61300‐3‐35 strongly reinforces our IBYC message

• We lead the industry on this issue– Education– Standardization– Solutions

If the Connector Fails for Defects, Clean it• 61300‐3‐35 requires an attempt to clean before failing

– “If the fiber fails inspection for defects, the user shall clean the fiber and repeat the inspection process.”

• Rejecting product without cleaning is counterproductive• Use designed‐for‐optics cleaning tools to avoid damaging the connector

• If IBYC has been practiced throughout the product lifecycle, the defects will clean off easily

Dirty Fiber PRIOR to Mating

Fiber AFTER Mating and Many Cleanings

Fiber AFTER CleaningDirty Fiber PRIOR to Mating

Why Did the IEC Create 61300‐3‐35?• Companies throughout the component lifecycle were experiencing significant pain from dirty & damaged connectors

• The need for higher quality components and better performing networks moving forward

• Establish a standard method for proper testing– Better test results– Prevent damage to the product or network during test

How is IEC 61300‐3‐35 used?• As a requirement from the customer to the supplier

– Integrator to component supplier– Operator to contractor

• As a guarantee of product quality & performance from the supplier to the customer– Manufacturer to consumer– OEM to service provider– Between work groups

• As a guarantee of network quality & performance within an organization

• As a guarantee of connector condition for acceptable testing of the component or link

Where is IEC 61300‐3‐35 Used?

Throughout the Entire FO Product Lifecycle

Where is IEC‐61300‐3‐35 Referenced?• ISO/IEC 11801

– References ISO/IEC 14763‐3 for all fiber testing• ISO/IEC 14763‐3

– Testing fiber optic cabling in premises networks• IEC 61280‐4‐1

– Insertion loss testing of multimode fiber optic cabling• IEC 61280‐4‐2

– Insertion and return loss testing of singlemode fiber optic cabling• IEC 61280‐4‐4 Ed.2

– PMD testing of installed fiber optic cabling• IEC 61757‐1

– International Standard for fiber optic sensors• ITU‐T G.650.3

– ITU Recommendation for fiber characterization• TIA‐568‐C.0

– Pending addendum• Purchasing specifications & work instructions

Why Should I care? (Business Impact)Suppliers• Verifying endface condition ensures repeatable product quality• Documenting endface quality assures customer satisfaction and

protects the supplier

Operators• Compliance to 61300‐3‐35 provides a guarantee of network condition

and performance• Build the network for a lifetime of performance

– Be prepared for unknown future customer needs– DON’T infect the network with problems we will have to deal with later

• Lower maintenance costs / opex– Achieve expected ROI

How do I Implement IEC 16300‐3‐35?

• Establish Inspect Before You Connect as a best practice within your organization

• Expect your suppliers to meet the requirements of the standard– Products you purchase should meet this specification– Work done to your network should meet these process requirements (IBYC)

• Compliance to 61300‐3‐35 provides a guarantee of network condition and performance

Inspection Tools: Video Microscopes• Probe Microscope

– Used with handheld video displays– Can inspect BOTH ends of a connection

• Patch Cord & Bulkhead

– Can inspect various connector types• Single Fiber (SC, LC, MU, E2000, etc.)• Multi‐Fiber (MTP, MPO, OptiTip™)

– Application: Both Field & Lab

• Benchtop Scope– Used with benchtop video display– Application: Lab & Manufacturing

Choosing the Right Tools Will Impact Performance

• Tools designed for workflow improve technician performance

– Efficiency: Do more in less time– Reliability: Drives techs to follow correct

procedures– Repeatability: Easy, repeatable process

• New Techs follow best practices from Day 1

– Prevent techs from developing bad habits– New fiber links install smoothly– Prevent unnecessary troubleshooting

• When your Techs work smarter – You save money!– Time = Money– Protecting your network investment– Achieve better network performance

Objective Inspection vs Subjective Inspection• Subjective Inspection

– Many Factors impact results:• Display settings• Ambient lighting• Operator eyesight• Operator judgment

– Actually testing is very difficult– Certification is not practical

• Objective Inspection – Eliminates variation in results– Certifies and records product quality– All skill levels can certify quality– Makes advanced criteria simple– Improves performance & yields

PASS

Objective Inspection Impact on FO Market• JDSU lead the effort to promote and standardize inspection

methods and criteria– IBYC education – IEC 61300‐3‐35– Connector endface analysis software

• Our analysis software was used to develop the IEC standard• The combination of common requirements and objective

measurement have impacted product quality through the supply chain

• Common, repeatable systems provide correlation through the supply chain

• Adaptable systems enable custom requirements

Automated Fiber Endface AnalysisA connector endface analysis program should provide objective and repeatable certification for fiber optic end-face quality.

• Inspect and certify fiber end faces at the push of a button.

• Simple PASS/FAIL acceptance testing• Certifies compliance IEC 61300‐3‐35 or customer

specific standards• Choose a system with a proven track record of success• Use should span the entire FO industry

– Component manufacturing– Integrators / CMs– OEMs– 3rd Party installers– Service Providers

Summary IEC 61300-3-35 mandates connector inspection

IEC 61300-3-35 gives pass/fail specifications for endface quality that are based on connector performance

Compliance to the standard guarantees component and network performance and certifies the quality of the work

Compliance to the standard will ensure your network is ready forwhatever speed or application requirements come next

We have the right test equipment to enable your organization to meet IEC 61300-3-35

A White Paper on IEC 61300-3-35 will be sent to all attendees

Where Can I Find the Standard?

• Copies of the standard can be purchased from ANSI or your country’s standards body– www.ANSI.org– Search for “61300‐3‐35”

T‐102 Early FTTH Deployments Drive Economic Growth‐but Can We Prove it?

David RussellSolutions Marketing Director, Calix

FTTH and Economic Development

• Many communities are using broadband as a tool to spur economic development

• Widely accepted that the deployment of FTTH spurs business creation, job growth and higher property values

• Can this connection be proven by looking at early FTTH deployment?

Edward Lowe Foundation• Foundation assists communities in economic development

• Foundation established by the creator of cat litter. Making money from selling dirt (clay) created an appreciation of entrepreneurship and the creation of economic value

• Foundation pushes “Economic Gardening”‐creating jobs from within the community

YourEconomy.org• Edward Lowe Foundation has created an interactive database through a national license with Dunn and Bradstreet

• Access to National Establishment Time‐Series (NETS) database is free of charge

• Examination over time of 24 million active and 41 million total establishments

• Data can be analyzed at the county, MSA and state level

FTTH Community Selection Criteria• Entire community must have been built‐out in project (favored municipal projects)

• At least 5 years must have passed since initial construction of network

• Community must be commerical center of the MSA or county, this eliminated Kutztown, PA from further analysis

Methodology• Utilizing the YourEconomy.org database business creation and job growth were examined over two four year periods: 1998‐2002 and 2004‐2008

• Community data was based on county or MSA data. This was then compared to state wide data for both 4 year periods

• 2009 data will be available later this year

Data Analysis Observations

• Data was inconclusive as to whether FTTH deployments had impacted business creation or job growth

• 4 year time frame may be too short; 2009 and future data may more accurately gauge impact

• Analyzing data from cities that deployed in the 2005‐2008 timeframe will help sample size


• The county and MSA data used as a proxy for communities may not have been refined enough to see impacts at the community level (13‐66% of county or MSA population was made up of study communities

• Economic development may be taking place in adjacent communities, outside the study area


• Sample size was too small, so specific issues facing these communities overwhelmed any FTTH impact

• These cities lagged their respective states before the FTTH build and afterwards

• Only Bristol (VA, TN) showed positive improvements in business formation and employment

Evidence Beyond the Data

• Bristol, Virginia’s fiber build across Russell County was credited with bringing in two large companies: CGI and Northrup Grumman. Russell County is not part of the Bristol MSA

• Many studies have found improved economic conditions in areas receiving broadband than those without. Others have found improved home prices resulting from fiber deployments

Evidence Beyond the Data

• Bristol, Jackson and Reedsburg were all analyzed in a study done by Strategic Networks Group, sponsored by the FTTH Council which found a positive economic impact through cost savings to businesses

Argentina:Provisión de Clientes FTTH

“Mucho más que un cambio de tecnología”

Ing. Sergio E.R. [email protected]

Observaciones

Los comentarios e informaciones vertidos en esta presentación son a modo ilustrativo y pueden sufrir cambios en su contenido sin previo aviso.

Objetivos de la presentación

El propósito de esta presentación es compartir las experiencias y mejoras introducidas en el proceso de altas de clientes en Buenos Aires (Argentina), a partir del lanzamiento comercial de FTTH en septiembre de 2010 hasta la fecha.

La presentación incluye los siguientes temas

• Desafíos del proyecto• Despliegue de red e instalación en casa del cliente• Formación de RR.HH.• Gestión del alta del cliente• Casuística de averías

Desafíos del Proyecto

Nos proponíamos brindar los siguientes servicios :• VOIP• Internet hasta 25 Mbps• Paquetes dúos ( VOIP+ Internet)

(*)La regulación vigente en Argentina no permite a las operadoras de Telefonía brindar servicio de TV



• Romper barreras culturales• Desarrollar a los instaladores• Adquirir nuevas habilidades• Incorporar nuevos sistemas

para el alta y la gestión de clientes

• Satisfacer las expectativas de los clientes por el FTTH

• Optimizar el despacho de técnicos a campo

• Ser flexibles en el despliegue• Detectar causas raíz de averías

El desarrollo comercial de FTTH nos exigió…

Despliegue de red e instalación en casa del cliente

Despliegue de red e instalaciones en casa del cliente Vivienda promedio tipo

•Orientado a clientes de nivel socio‐económico medio‐alto

•En todas las instalaciones, el cableado por F.O. se realiza hasta la 1er. boca en el ambiente del cliente.

Despliegue de red e instalaciones en casa del clienteEdificios con red existente de cobre

•Inversión inicial baja•Asignación flexible•Velocidad de despliegue•Baja productividad.•2 instaladores/ alta•Trabajo en altura

Fue el primer modelo aplicado en una prueba piloto y punto de partida para la etapa comercial

Despliegue de red e instalaciones en casa del clienteEquipos y materiales en casa del cliente

Formación de RR.HH.

Situación de partida

• Instaladores sin experiencia en Fibra Óptica• Escasa o nula disponibilidad de capacitación en el mercado. • Incorporación de nuevos productos a la planta.• Carencia de equipamiento de medición y prueba.


Qué hicimos…

• Definir skills mínimos requeridos • Concentrar el trabajo en un equipo dedicado “full time”• Seleccionar un grupo de técnicos con el perfil definido• Aprender de las mejores prácticas.• Desarrollar contenidos propios de capacitación


Qué hicimos…

• Participación activa de los técnicos en la formación de nuevos instaladores

• Definir equipos según tipo de instalación• Incorporar herramientas de medición• Armar kits básicos de instalaciones


Gestión del Alta del Cliente

Gestión del alta del cliente

La provisión y posterior gestión de los clientes representaba un desafío en sí mismo.

El sistema a crear debía:• Compatibilizar con los sistemas comerciales y técnicos• Brindar información sobre los servicios prestados• Solucionar aquellos problemas que no requirieran despacho a

campo de los técnicos• Habilitar e inhabilitar clientes ante requerimientos

comerciales


Desarrollada por personal de la empresa se generó una herramienta que permite en un entorno web:

• Visualización online del estado de navegación en internet, VOIP• Registro de la primera y última conexión de internet, velocidad

promedio y causa de finalización de la conexión

• Registro de última comunicación VOIP• Registro de mac de Iad y ONT y disponibilidad de equipos y

vacancia de CTO’s para asignar, evitando dobles asignaciones.


• Georreferenciación de la CTO y disponibilidad de terminales• Regeneración de la conexión y reseteo de la ONT• Prueba online de la línea VOIP

• Registro de eventos detectados por la ONT • Mapeo online del estado de la red

Gestión del alta del clienteAplicación de SMS

La herramienta complementaria al sistema de provisión (diseñada especialmente para los instaladores) presenta las siguientes ventajas:

• Mejora la performance de la instalación y del mantenimiento• Resolución de reclamos sin desplazamiento hasta el domicilio

del cliente• Hace más eficiente el despacho a campo de los técnicos.• Aumenta la productividad• No requiere equipamiento adicional ni sofisticado

Gestión del alta del clienteAplicación de SMS

Entre otras operaciones se puede realizar:• Alta/baja de una ONT asociada a una línea fibra• Mostrar el estado de asignación de una ONT (asignada o no)• Probar la línea VOIP• Regenerar una conexión• Resetear la ONT

Casuística de Averías

Casuística de averías

¿Qué tienen en común estos materiales y equipos?

•Están en el ambiente del cliente.•Son los más afectados por el uso•Expuestos la manipulación de los clientes•Sobre ellos se generan el 86% de los reclamos/averías

“A priori” la diversidad de ambientes en los que trabajamos hacía suponer la existencia de diferentes causas raíz

Durante el año que llevamos instalando, las averías se distribuyeron de la siguiente manera:

Casuística de averías

Valores al 31‐08‐11

ConclusionesDurante este año trabajamos en:• Desarrollo y Capacitación de RR.HH• Redefinición de los criterios de despliegue• Revisión de métodos constructivos• Aprendizaje en el diagnóstico y resolución de problemas• Alternativas de instalación• Incorporación de nuevos materiales• Adaptación a sistemas de gestión

Por sobre todo seguimos aprendiendo…

TDM PON: High‐speed, shared bandwidthe.g. GPON 2.5/1.25 Gb/s, XG‐PON 10/2.5 Gb/s

WDM PON: Low‐speed, dedicated bandwidthe.g. 100 Mb/s/λ, 1 Gb/s/λ symmetrical

The claim: WDM PON will more effectively meet BW demands, some dayQuestions: What are the BW demands, and can TDM PON meet them?

Nielsen's Law of Internet Bandwidth: What does it say about future bandwidth demand?

Nielsen’s Law states that offered connection speeds to high‐end users has grown 50% YoY.

From Jakob Nielsen’s websitehttp://www.useit.com/alertbox/980405.html

Nielsen’s Law does not say anything about: • bandwidth demand• offered speeds to high end users on FTTH networks

What about UHD?

UHD forecast: using the adoption of HDTV as a model for UHD (In-Stat)

The driver for UHD: Very large displays to maximize “immersion in the image”

2015 2017 2020 2022 2025

First limited 2160p content available

First 2160p broadcast



Global display penetration: 2160p: 10.1%4320p: 1.3%

What can explain very low penetration forecast of UHD?

Minimum display size for human eye to appreciate UHD at 6’ viewing distance

Penetration of UHD will be constrained by• the physical size of the living unit • limited utility of UHD resolution in typical viewing environments

• 2160p: ~60” diagonal (~45°)

• 4320p: ~10’ diagonal (~75°)

• But preferred viewing angle (subjective data) is ≤ 30°

• 1G/λWDM PON has about 1/8 bandwidth headroom of 10G PON• To match 10G PON headroom, WDM PON requires 10G/λ.

Bandwidth headroom forecast

Again, worst case model assumptions for TDM PON:

• All subscribers are high-end users

• No native multicasting on the PON

• Only 2:1 concentration on PON

TDM PON offers superior scalabilityIt has been argued that WDM PON scales better than TDM PON.In fact, the opposite may be true.

This will play out again in next gen deployments: • 1G/λWDM PONs will require hardware change‐outs to offer >1G service. • 10G PONs will not.

Illustrative example: In the 2H of the 2000s…

• Best‐in‐class TDM PON: GPON. • Best‐in‐class WDM PON: 100M/λ• GPON operators can upgrade a high‐end user to a higher bit rate service via SW provisioning.

• The WDM PON operator must do HW change‐outs at both ends to offer more than a 100 Mb/s service.

Bandwidth forecasting take‐aways

TDM PON bandwidth supply is growing much faster than video bandwidth demand

10G PON and even GPON will likely satisfy FTTH bandwidth demands beyond this decade

TDM PONs are more flexible to meet future high speed bandwidth demands.

There is no bandwidth‐based argument for WDM PON

If not bandwidth… what other possible drivers?WDM PON: topologically point‐to‐multipoint, logically point‐to‐point

• Simpler operations: PTP provisioning

• CO OTDR can diagnose downstream of the WDM splitter

• Privacy: downstream payload not broadcasted

• Slightly lower delay and delay variation:

• Higher sabotage resistance

No T‐CONTs, GEM ports

Simplify cable break localization

Only relevant for niche applications, e.g. CPRI backhaul ?TDM PONs have strong encryption And PON fibers cannot be tapped with typical Ethernet tools.

?

But so far no problems on DOCSIS networks And light is more difficult than electrical to create interference

Loss of potential WDM PON advantages:

The best case scenario for WDM PON

Let’s make two *huge* assumptions:

• A 1G/λWDM PON, working over a power‐splitting ODN, reaches cost parity with GPON or 10G PON

• WDM PON component integration becomes so advanced that power and density reach parity with GPON or 10G PON

WDM PON Advantages:

• Simpler point‐to‐point provisioning• Slightly lower delay and delay variation, for CPRI backhaul

WDM PON Disadvantages:

vs. 10G PON, serving high‐end users:•1/8 bandwidth headroom•HW change‐outs required for upgrade beyond 1G

Conclusions

There is no bandwidth‐based driver for WDM PON

– 10G PON and even GPON have ample bandwidth to satisfy FTTH bandwidth demands beyond this decade

– TDM PONs are more flexible to meet future high speed bandwidth demands of high‐end users.

We have searched for other drivers‐‐ the list is not compelling

So even if WDM PON achieved cost, density and power parity with GPON or 10G PON, a dubious possibility in our timeframe of interest, the rationale to adopt WDM PON is still weak.

Build Costs

The largest expense associated with the construction of fiber networkshas little to do with the physical infrastructure being deployed:

In densely populated cities, the bill of materials can be as low as 20% of the overall cost. The cost of the labour per foot, to deploy the network, exceeds by far the cost of the materials.

A Utility Infrastructure Law commonly quoted by engineers says:

“The closer you get to the home, the more investment is needed, averaged per home connected.”

Mejorando el Rendimiento Financiero con redes FTTH

T‐205‐G

Antonio DiazCalix Inc.


Mejorando el rendimiento financiero

– Reto: justificando FTTH

– 2004: Análisis de Bernstein

– Mercado actual y tendencias

– Modelando FTTH

• CAPEX

• OPEX

• Revenue

– Resultados financieros y conclusiones

Cuánto cuesta el FTTH?

• Porqué las redes FTTH requieren tanto CAPEX para su construcción?– Mostraremos que no es del todo así

• Las redes FTTH permiten:– Bajos costos operativos– Mayor ARPU (average revenue per subscriber)– Mejor rendimiento financiero a largo plazo

FTTH tiene mucho sentido• La fibra es una solución superior al cobre

– Mejor rendimiento– Mas alta confiabilidad– Bajo mantenimiento– Vida mas larga– Mayores ganancias

• Porqué cuesta tanto justificar un desarrollo en fibra “brown‐field”?– La inversión inicial de CAPEX para un desarrollo Brown‐field FTTH es alta– Los activos de la red de cobre pueden no haberse depreciado en los

libros• Finanzas tendría que eliminar el valor de estos activos (retorno CAPEX pobre)

Se requiere un modelo operativo nuevo• Ganancias se tornan en perdidas: La sobrevivencia financiera

depende de:– Ingresos crecientes– Reducción dramática de costos operativos

LOSS

10% Profit

Over 10 Years Time

Traditional Business Model yields:Financial comfort

El reto: Justificando FTTH

• Los financieros son conservadores por naturaleza– Típicamente piden retornos a 18 meses (con FTTH son 5 años!)

– Inversiones anteriores con bajo rendimiento• Proyectos anteriores con proyecciones de retorno a 18 meses no han cumplido con su objetivo

• Se exige a los grupos de mercadotecnia y ventas a generar pronósticos de venta sobre productos obsoletos

– Respuesta de finanzas: A apretar mas!• Reducir inversiones de CAPEX (y dejar que el OPEX crezca)• Ingeniería y Planeación de redes pidiendo ayuda a finanzas

El Reto: Justificando FTTH

• Principio de incertidumbre y relación Riesgo / BeneficiosA mayor tiempo = mayor el riesgo de perdida

Uncertainty

– Modelando FTTH• CAPEX

The Bernstein Analysis

• En que consiste este estudio de Bernstein?– Documento de investigación FTTH de 90 paginas– Estudio conjunto entre Bernstein y Telcordia en Mayo 2004– Precede al RFP Tri‐BOC (Bell South, AT&T, Verizon)

• Que analizaba dicho estudio?– FTTH‐Fiber to the home – FTTN‐Fiber to the Node (ADSL2+)– FTTC‐Fiber to the Curb (VDSL2)

Puntos clave (Bernstein Analysis)

• Punto de inflexión para flujo de caja en 5 años (FTTH)– La inversión se paga totalmente en 7 años

• El FTTH tiene un gasto operativo mucho menor– Se eliminan componentes activos en planta externa– Se reduce la necesidad de personal altamente calificado para planta

externa– Mayor eficiencia en la entrega de servicios

• El FTTH genera ganancias– Con mas ancho de banda se incrementan las ofertas de servicios

• Con mas servicios se incrementa la ganancia por subscriptor• Los paquetes de servicios reducen el “Churn” (clientes cambiando de proveedor)

– Mayor calidad promueve mejor satisfacción de clientes

• Las redes FTTH se construyen UNA SOLA VEZ– Tecnología demostrada y desplegada hoy

• Las redes de cobre requieren reconstrucción– 2‐3 veces– Cuando se hacen actualizaciones, comienza de nuevo el proceso de re‐ingeniería

• Nuevas tecnologías de cobre prometen larga vida– Vectoring y Modo Phantom son altamente complejos y no están disponibles todavía

– Solo extenderán la vida del cobre por 2 años mas

A Personal Story

Hurricane Irene – Saturday, August 28, 2011

• 200+ year old oak meets 11K lbs. cable Sunday ~2:00am, Sun

• ~250 feet of cable down

• Power outage 50% in United Illuminating towns

• Boys and Girls Village has phone, and generatorpower

• Presenter had neither

12:34 Wednesday, August 31, 2011

• 12 trucks show up in convey• All from Canada• Power and landline phone restored by

~7:30 p.m.

One tree, many lost services• Critical Responders lost power

– Gas company – no power

– Iroquois pipeline in backyard

– No cell phone (tower .5 miles away)

– Local Firehouse phone but no power

– 3 major corporate complexes

– 5,000 homes

– Boys and Girls Village (first responder for endangeredchildren)

– Great River Gold Club – neighbor's wedding on Saturdayendangered

The next days

• How did IP network (ARPA net) do?

• United Illuminating, Thursday @ 1:18 pm

One thing worked at these criticalplaces and at the Orphanage…

Green

• Most solutions today use UPS

• Most use lead acid batteries

• Recycle/dispose of 2 to 4 million batteriesper year

• 3 million truck rolls

• We need a better solution

Green

Today: 7.1 million FTTHbatteries in customer’s homes

If FTTH becomes ubiquitous:~12 Billion batteries in 50 years

IronyClean Fleets Partnership

NLP benefits

Suitable for both Brownfield and Greenfield

Meets FCC mandates for reliable power

No premises batteries

No customer monitoring

No proactive truck rolls

No scheduling customer visits

Lower five year cost than UPS solutions

Rule of thumb -

saving one truck roll just about pays for NLP

Conclusion

Network Line Power:• Green,

• Low-cost,

• Customer Friendly,

• Easy,

• …and Reliable

if you won’t do it to save yourgranny…

or to save money…

or to make it easy for the customerand the installer…

or to save the planet…

…then…

do it for the orphans.

FAQ

• Will high voltage wear out loop lines? No: T-Carrier networks have beencarrying a similar voltage and have been in use over 30 years.

• Q: Is it dangerous? Not if NEC 830 practices are followed. Circuits areground interrupted protected.

• Q: Can you re-amortize copper network? A: Ask your accountants.

• Q: Is it really green? A: Yes, CO batteries are well maintained, have almost10 times longer life, and contamination risk is limited to single safe sitestaffed with educated experts, and are guaranteed to be recycled.

FIBER TO THE HOME:STRUCTURING PARTNERSHIPS FOR SUCCESS (PUBLIC AND PRIVATE)

Lawrence R. Freedman, PartnerEdwards Angell Palmer & Dodge [email protected]‐939‐7923

FTTH: STRUCTURING PARTNERSHIPS FOR SUCCESS

Two Basic FTTH Partnership Models

A. Private Joint Venture or Partnership

Arrangements whereby private entities (typically real estate developers and service providers) contract to create a mutually beneficial communications service platform for individual real estate developments or other communities or large customers.

B. Public‐Private Joint Venture or Partnership

Arrangements whereby the resources of public agencies and private companies are combined to provide greater efficiency, better access to capital, and the furtherance of government initiatives.

1. Government Funding (e.g., broadband stimulus)2. Government Project Participation / Oversight3. Private Lease and Use of Government Fiber Infrastructure


Private Partnerships: What is offered?

A. Core Double or Triple PlayB. Residential or CommercialC. Ancillary

Agenda- Opportunities

- Differentiate with All-fiber Access Network

- Converge Networks & Services over PON for lowest CapEx & lowest OpEx

- Diversify with new Business Services resulting in new revenue streams

- Summary


Opportunities

FTTH or FTTP often associated with residential services

Business services enjoying recent years successes

- Business Ethernet year-over-year double digit growth

- Managed/hosted services estimated to grow from $19B 2010 to $49B 2014

- Cloud-based services growth rate is 5x larger than for traditional IT services


- Converge residential and business technologies, networks architectures and services

- Diversify business services portfolio

- Differentiate managed/hosted products

- Take advantage of lucrative business Ethernet and cloud based computing offerings


Opportunities

Telecommunications Service Providers positioned well to win!

Service Providers can extend their core competencies into businesses

- Business customers are adopting converged services (e.g. voice, video & data)

- Business networks are migrating copper to fiber infrastructure (e.g. CATx to SMF)

- Service Provider core competencies can become billable services to customers

How?

- Differentiate with all-fiber access infrastructure for residential & business/LAN networks

- Converge services over fiber with technology that enables lowest CapEx & lowest OpEx

- Diversify with expanded business Ethernet, hosted, cloud and managed LAN services

- Capture new revenue streams from the above mentioned business services


Differentiate with All‐fiber Access Network ‐Inherent advantages of all‐fiber networks

Momentum surrounds FTT-Home, FTT-Business and FTT-Cell projects

All-fiber distribution provides best bet for “future-proofing” the networks

- Merits of “central office home run” versus “distributed” architectures can be debated

- Largely pros and cons of the above architectures are fairly represented

- In PON architecture, splitters are strategically placed for optimal traffic management

Central office home run ODN architecture

- Achieves one of the inherent benefits of PON ~ less outside plant maintenance

- PON splitters can be managed from CO

• Physically engineer bandwidth strategically with 1:2 to 1:64 wide ODN splits

- Graceful migration from 2.4GbE to 10GbE to WDM technologies


Differentiate with All‐fiber Access Network ‐Inherent advantages of all‐fiber LAN networks

Telecom Service Providers have long known advantages of fiber optics

- Fiber optics provides significantly better reach, capacity, EMI tolerance and fire safety

LAN operators struggling to keep pace with copper based CATx infrasturcture

- Major re-designs from CAT3 to CAT5 to CAT5e to CAT6A to CAT6B to CAT7

- CATx gets bigger, heavier, worse bend radius, bulkier connectors and higher price

Relative SizeSMF = 2.9mm CAT6 = 7.5mm

Relative BendSMF = 5mm CAT6 = 30mm

Relative WeightSMF = 4lbs/1Kft CAT6 = 39lbs/1Kft

SMF SMF SMF

CAT6CAT6

CAT6


Differentiate with All‐fiber Access Network ‐Inherent advantages of all‐fiber LAN networks

Optical LAN gains traction

- Up to 70% less capital, 80% less power and 90% less space in comparison with traditional active Ethernet LAN

- Optical LAN directly benefits environmental initiatives, including LEED certification

Today, Service Providers can offer these core expertise to their business partners

- Similar to how Service Providers worked with greenfield triple-play FTTH, but now reaching out to community anchors and business customers

Diversify with new Business Services resulting in new revenue streams

Ideal proposition for community anchors looking to reduce CapEx and OpEx- Small-medium-large business

- Government facilities

- Schools

- Libraries

- Colleges

- Universities

- Healthcare providers

- Public safety entities

- And, other community support organizations

None of the above desire to own/operate communication network nor LAN nor staff IT

Thus, why managed services, cloud services and IT outsourcing are growing so rapidly

- How and when can this architecture be recommended?

• Greenfield

• Tenant Improvement/Remodel

• CATx upgrade project

• Repetitive 3-5 year LAN lease contract renewal

• Cyclical LAN equipment and technology refresh



PON delivery of Ethernet business service- Managed/Hosted Services- Cloud Networking

• Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)• Platform as a Service (PaaS)• Software as a Service (SaaS)• Optical LAN as a Service (Optical-LANaaS)

- Leased SMF facilities- IT Outsourcing- LAN management Outsourcing- Firewall/Network Security- Telecommunication Equipment Monitoring/Surveillance- Service/Help Desk, Telecommunications Consulting (VoIP, Video

Conferencing, etc…)- Document Management- Remote Database Administration- Disaster Recovery- Premises Security/Video Surveillance- Application Management- IT/Telecom Project Management

- Not confident your company has core expertise?

• Partner with white label cloud services provider

• Partner with IT outsourcing company

• Hire ~ attract new young blood with new skill-sets to your company and community



PON delivery of Ethernet business service –

Optical LAN as a Service correlation with Cloud based services- Optical LAN

What is the Right Fiber Termination Technique?Splicing vs. Preconnectorization

Experience from large projects:Due to large number of individual fiber connections and the usually large size of FTTH-MDU rollouts, fiber splicing is not an adequate method anymore

What is the Right Fiber Termination Technique ?Splicing vs. Preconnectorization

Experiences from large projects:The trend in MDU deployments is preconnectorization in all network elements; it is fast, reliable and easily scalable

How To Eliminate MDU Complexity Apply lessons learned from other rollouts

How To Deal with MDU ComplexityTypical small‐size MDU Solutions

Small buildings usually served by a direct-drop architecture from central distribution point (basement or outside)

Tools to Help Make the Right DecisionExample

Time of deployment: 2008 – ongoingNumber of homes passed (HP)/homes connected (HC): 1Mill.Major deployment technique: indoor Fiber per customer: one

Focus on large MDUs Problem:• Direct-drop solution was chosen for initial rollout• After first month of deployment, the installation speed was too slow and costs were too high

• New MDU solution was found to solve speed/cost concerns

Tools To Help Make the Right DecisionExample

Cost analysis 18-floor building for 3 different solutions (Mid-span, Direct-drop and Multi-riser scenario)


Cost analysis 54‐floor building


Conclusion:

-To achieve high deployment speed requirements (1Mill HC)

- To deploy lowest possible cost solution

Decision was made to change from direct-drop solution to a multi-riser solution

How To Solve The MDU Complexity Apply lessons learned from other rollouts Use available tools to select best option for your need Choose the right keystone components

Keystone Components Enable Bringing Fiber CloseTo the End Customer

Innovation specifically helping the MDU business case is ongoingMake sure no additional costs are avoided by using optimized components or solutionsUse keystone components that have a proven track record

Innovation is focused on• Preconnectorization of all network elements (basement, floor and customer terminals, riser segments, customer drop)

• Field-installable connectors have seen significant volumes• Deployed fiber cable type really matters• Aesthetic solutions play a key role

Keystone Components Enable MDU BuildsPreconnectorization

The established way to reduce skilled labor and speed up deployments

Keystone Components Enable MDU BuildsField‐Installable Connectors

Ideal for drop pigtail applications field-installable connectors To minimize disruption of customer privacy

Keystone Components Enable MDU BuildsBend‐Insensitive Fiber Cables

The ProblemFTTH requires fiber cable to be deployed in very challenging environments.

As fiber cable gets inside the private space• More aggressive environment and handling

• Space constraints • Higher installation speed requirements• De‐skilled installation practices to lower labour cost (e.g., no ducting)

• More likely to experience unwanted/accidental public access

• Required to be aesthetically pleasing

Keystone Components Enable MDU BuildsBend‐Insensitive Fiber Cables

Choosing the right G657 fiber for your cable

A3*: proposed new ITU‐T G.657 category

As a result, the fiber cable …‐ has an increased chance of inappropriate installation procedures‐ can experience tighter bends, crush, etc.‐ needs to be treated “like copper”

Keystone Components Enable MDU BuildsAesthetics do matter…

Why?

Many voices decide about acceptance:

The end customer, installers, housing associations, etc.

Lessen visual impact by:

Hiding boxes & cables

Minimizing hardware footprint

Use of small cable, friction optimized

Solving The MDU Complexity ChallengeSummary

FTTH MDU deployments might still seem complex, but,

We have seen years of MDU installations that created various suitable solutions allow us to learn from installation experience drove innovation based on emerging needs

MDU modeling tools help you make the best decision for your rollout (Capex, Opex, deployment speed).

With keystone components & solutions proven in worldwide deployments, MDU deployments can be easy, reliable and quick.

RURAL AMERICA

There are still more than 15,000,000underserved Internet households in the U.S.

Rural Markets make up a large percentage of the Underserved footprint in the United States

There are still more than 15,000,000underserved Internet households in the U.S.

Rural Electric Cooperatives and the Municipalities they serve make up large percentage of the rural U.S. footprint

Why Has Rural America Been Left Behind?

It’s no secret that the reason is profit and payback

lower home densities per mile =

lower payback timelines for cable and telco providers=

lower chance that rural Americans will be served with long-termsolutions unless viable options exist for municipalities and electric cooperatives to enter the telecommunications space for themselves

Distributed Tap design is a compelling technology making FTTH/telecom more viable in rural America

• Less Expensive To Build

• Less Expensive to Maintain

• Proven Technology

• Standards-Based, Certified Technology

• Scalable Technology

• PON Compatibility

Proven Technology:Is Distributed Tap Being Used Today?

• Yes! Distributed Tap design in being used in more than 15 states by various municipalities, electric cooperatives, cable operators and telcos.

What is Distributed Tap?

Customer Premise

In summary, it’s a solution that makes FTTH more economically viable for communities with densities as low as five homes per mile!

How is Distributed Tap different than other FTTHdesigns from an Engineering perspective?

Figure 3

Example: To support a 32 port group, you may have six or more miles of fiber plant. Design rules are made to keep a balance between distribution, drop capital costs and long term maintenance issues.

How is Distributed Tap different than other FTTH designs from an Engineering perspective?

In instances where the distance to the NOD becomes too far for efficient use of the optical power budget we insert an OLT or RFoG Node. This allows us to serve areas that could not be reached otherwise.

Figure 4

Less Expensive to Build and Maintain

Distributed Tap design is significantly less expensive to build and to maintain than other traditional fiber designs because it uses fewer fibers without compromising network capacity.

Distributed Tap design is fully scalable

• Distributed Tap design is quite scalable to meet both the bandwidth needs of the foreseeable future and the bandwidth needs of the future

• Scalability costs and execution are highly contingent upon the PON architecture used in conjunction with the design.

Distributed Tap design is compatible with the most popular highly utilized PON architectures

• Distributed Tap is an “agnostic” design that allows for the utilization of RFoG, GPON, Active Ethernet , etc. solutions

• Distributed Tap is a standards-based technology that is certified with several prominent FTTH companies

• Examples

Distributed Tap Summary

Rural America is in need of economical FTTH solutions to make Telecom more viable in their markets. Distributed Tap design can help in many compelling ways:

• Less Expensive To Build

• Less Expensive to Maintain

• Proven Technology

• Standards-Based, Certified Technology

• Scalable Technology

• PON Compatibility

Impacting FTTH Deployment in Brownfield MDUs

Linnea Wilkes3M


Challenges in Brownfield MDU FTTH Deployment

• Time and cost to install

• Aesthetics

• Minimize tenant disruption

Network Components Evolved to Address These ChallengesNetwork Components Evolved to Address These Challenges

Importance of Bend-Insensitive Fiber in MDU Application• Bend-insensitive fiber helps reduce service complaints

– Cables can now accommodate many bends, common in MDU floor plans and architecture

– Cables can be installed flush against baseboards and around corners

– Installations become simpler, less need to “think” about bend radius

Images courtesy of Broadband Properties Magazine, August 2007

Fewer Macro Bends, Less Attenuation = Better Signal for Voice, Video, and Data Transmission

900 µm

FRP

• 3mm bend-insensitive drop– Capable of handling many bends

• 5mm ultra bend-insensitive drop– Quick, easy installation– Crown staple required for surface-mount

installation(Not suitable for concrete walls)– Bulky

• 900 µm tight-buffered fiber– Small, discrete

• FRP (Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic) drop– Common in Japan– Small (contains 250 µm fiber)– Metal strength members may require

grounding

FRP Drop Cable• Standard Cable

– Few cables/duct

– Difficult to install

• Low-Friction FRP Cable– Many cables/duct

– Easy to feed cable

– Expensive

– Time consuming to installCrown Molding

Both Solutions Require a Two-Step Installation Process: 1) Pathway Creation and 2) Placement of Cables

Both Solutions Require a Two-Step Installation Process: 1) Pathway Creation and 2) Placement of Cables

• Square latch molding (trunking)– Requires custom fit installation

– Skilled craftsman to maintain aesthetics

– Requires opening of covers to lay or access drop cables

Cable Ducts• Some parts of the world place ducts

behind walls at time of construction to conceal cables – Not common in the U.S.

Micro Duct in Riser Closet

Cable Duct Concealed Behind Walls• Micro duct

– Placed behind walls, above ceilings

– Fishing cables can be difficult

– May require core drilling

– Almost completely concealed

Fiber Pathway for MDU Hallways• Advantages:

– Cost savings: Cable pathway, and drop cable installed simultaneously

– Quiet installation: Surface mount, adhesive backing

– Small and discrete

– Seamless and flexible: Adheres to contours of older walls

Fiber Pathway

• Disadvantages:– Not compatible with all wall surfaces

– Indoor solution only

New Ways to Use Fiber‐to‐the‐Home Technology

The Smart Grid

Presenter: Dr. R. Michael Browder

Bristol Tennessee Essential Services

About BTES

• Over 33,000 electric customers

• 280‐square‐mile service area

• Power purchased from TVA

Bristol, Tennessee

Bristol Tennessee Essential Services

About BTES

• Entered Internet and Cable TV

business in October 2005

• Entered Telephone business in

November 2006

• Over 13,000 fiber customers

• 1 gigabit per second Ethernet

service available to every

customer in our service area

Some Ways BTES Uses Fiber

• Voltage Control • Water Heater Program • Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) • Automatic Power Outage Reporting • Pre‐Pay

Voltage Control Program


Objective – to lower the demand for BTES and TVA each month by tighter control of the voltage on each distribution circuit since TVA has implemented a demand and energy wholesale as of April 1, 2011.


Operational Overview

• Use capacitors to flatten voltage on each distribution feeder as‐needed.

• Use voltage regulators at each substation for tighter control of the feeder voltage during high‐demand periods, thus reducing the short term system load (peak demand).

Note: Capacitors cannot be used continuously because it would cause our system to have a “leading” power factor at times when we would be charged a penalty by TVA.

327 active voltage monitoring locations using customer meters

12,500+ locations & devices currently available for voltage

monitoring as of today.

Decision Maker – Monitors system load, then reduces the voltage using regulators at each substation while monitoring circuit voltages throughout the system.

Using the Decision Management System, capacitors can be switched on in groups or individually as needed for each circuit independently to level the voltage across each circuit.

Water Heater Program

Objectives

• Water Heater is 2nd largest energy usage in a home

• We believe a water heater is an Energy Storage

Device and our program maximizes that potential

• Unlike any program in the nation


History of Program

• We started installing water heater switches over 20 years ago.

• Over 50% of our residential customers have our switches installed.

• Original switches utilized a one‐way communication through radio

control

• We are currently developing and installing

switches that utilize our existing

fiber optic system.


• Through the new switches we can monitor the temperatures at

the top and bottom elements.

• This allows us to control the water heater for longer time periods

while still maintaining customer satisfaction.

• A temperature threshold is set for the top thermostat. Once the

temperature goes below the threshold, the water heater is cycled

back on until the water heats up above the threshold .

• Research analysis has shown that we can move up to 95% of the

water heater load during TVA’s peak hours to off‐peak hours.

Internet Protocol Television (IPTV)

• Currently installing • Provides more possibilities and abilities for our customers

o Whole Home DVRo Video On Demand o Send messages to individual customers or groups of customers

Use during extreme peak days ‐ ask to conserve energy

Automatic Power Outage Reporting

• Program Scope– Gives residential customers the opportunity to participate in a service to prepay their electric account.

– For customers:• Whose credit standing and/or payment history will not allow for waiving of their standard deposit for electric service

– Standard Deposit: Twice the Highest Bill

• Desiring the convenience of prepaid electric service

Pre-Pay

• Requirements to Participate– Fiber‐optic cable can be installed at the residence– Device can be installed that can remotely turn the power on and off

– Device can be installed inside the residence for the customer’s use to monitor how much money remains available for the purchase of services

– The customer will deposit money into an escrow account with BTES, which will be used to continuously draw against the account balance to pay the customer’s bill as the services are used

Pre-Pay

• Availability – Any single family dwelling where the major use of electricity is for domestic purposes such as lighting, household appliances, and personal comfort and conveniences of those residing therein and where BTES’ fiber optic services are available.

Pre-Pay

• Participation Charge– Residential Rate Schedule – In addition

• $10.00 per month with BTES’ fiber optic services or • $21.00 per month without BTES’ fiber optic services

Pre-Pay

• Payment– Prepayment will be in advance of usage– Hourly: kilowatt‐hour (kWh) charges will be deducted on regular intervals from the flex pay account

– Monthly: any minimum bill adjustment will be deducted from the account

– During periods when the power has been cut‐off because the flex pay account has been depleted, any hourly charges that accrue between the time the power is cut‐off and the time the power is cut‐on will be deducted from the flex pay account

Pre-Pay

T‐504‐G: Outsourcing Your Services

Kevin BourgAurora NetworksAlpharetta, GA

[email protected]

Traditional Revenue Models• Network Operators have primarily focused on two service models for customers:– Residential Customers: Providing Voice, Video and Internet Services

– Commercial Customers: Providing leased line and Ethernet Virtual Circuits

• Potential revenue sources have historically been overlooked– The Small‐Medium Business looking for lower cost services– The Residential subscriber looking for preferred services hosted outside of a traditional Internet connection

What does FTTH/B Enable?• Historically, Fiber to the Home/Business customer services models included:– Residential service models include Voice, RF Video, and High‐Speed Internet

– Business services such as low‐cost Internet connectivity and possibly E1/T1 Transport

• Most, if not all, Internet based services are provided as best‐effort

• Customers enjoyed an All You Can Eat model for bandwidth utilization

What does FTTH/B Enable?• As FTTH Deployments continue to grow globally:– The Service Providers Internet Point of Presence (PoP) have become more congested driving up costs

• Interestingly enough, the Service Providers Access/Aggregation/Transportation networks are still lightly loaded

– The Small‐Medium Business (SMB) market was generally “overlooked” when it came to providing new Products and Services

Putting Your Investment to Work• The typical Small‐Medium Business model to support Phone Services is with the installation of a local PBX

• Simple/known technology; however, not necessarily cost effective– Typically delivered over a Copper based DS‐x circuit

– Home office extensions were typically not possible/cost effective in most environments

Putting Your Investment to Work• Support the Small‐Medium Business with a Hosted Centrex Environment– In support of residential Voice services over a FTTH Deployment, a Softswitch/Media Gateway Environment is typically installed

– Rather than termination DS‐x circuits, terminate IP connections supporting traditional analog POTs or feature‐rich IP‐based handsets

– Services may be easily extended across multiple offices or SoHo Environments

– Support for new extensions or employees may be managed by the SMB rather than the Network Operator

Driving Revenue from your PoP• The Internet experience of the past is different today

– The subscriber is no longer browsing and reading or downloading email and reading

– Real‐time streaming of content is no longer the exception– The service provider Point‐of‐Presence continues to become more

congested

• In order for the Network Operator to stay ahead, these costs need to be addressed– Move from a All‐You‐Can‐Eat bandwidth experience to a more

metered environment– Provide Service Provider options to your subscriber base for an

premium

Gazing into the Clouds• Distributed Computing or Cloud Computing is not a new or revolutionary concept– Historically, Cloud Computing focused on distributed data centers and large/medium businesses

– With the Enablement of FTTH Networks to the home, Cloud Computing may be delivered at a much lower cost to the SMB and Residential businesses

• Cloud‐based services today are being bundled into customer‐facing “clouds” focused on a particular class of subscribers

Software as a Service• Market Specific clouds may also be referred to as “Utility Computing” services or “Software as a Service”– Taken from the concept of utility‐based services necessary to operate a home

– Utility Computing defines those services “necessary” to operate a home network into a single marketed cloud

Packaging Services in the Cloud• A Network Operator may market packages facing the residential market– Hosted Word Processing environment offering lower licensing fees for software packages

– Service for backing up personal data, media files and financial / tax data

– An Home Media Server service allowing customers to host Home Videos and Music available to both Home and mobile applications

Conclusion• The traditional service models of Residential triple‐play and

Commercial Virtual Circuit service models only limit the growth of a network operator

• The deployment of FTTH/B services only drives new services models

• The network operator of tomorrow needs to address:– Additional revenue sources from the Residential Subscriber through

either hosted or outside service models– The Small‐Medium business in support of new applications such as

Centrex services

Smart Electric GridsJason CohenAllied Fiber


Fiber to the Home: A Key Element for Smart Electric Grids

Jason Cohen President & COOAllied Fiber

What is a Smart Grid?• Electrical grid which attempts to predict and intelligently respond

to the behavior and actions of all electric power users connected to it ‐ in order to efficiently deliver reliable, economic, & sustainable electricity services.

• The development of Smart Electric Grids has become essential for utilities and consumers in order to gain the efficiencies and economics necessary to:

Support Load growth Manage new environmental standards Keep consumer costs at reasonable levels

• Fiber to the Home (FTTH) provides the medium to connect smart consumer devices to the local utilities Smart Grid network.

US Smart Grid Deployment

Smart Grids can respond to events which occur anywhere in the power generation, distribution and demand chain.

Each event motivates a change to power flow.

Smart Grid Event Response

Smart Grid Event Response

Economic Dispatch

• The Smart Grid provides for the economic dispatch of generation throughout multiple utility company electric grids based on real time load and intelligent data gathered from consumers.

• Utility companies use economic dispatch to distribute reserved power to consumers after calculating demand.

• Economic dispatch along with unit commitment is a way in which utility companies can predict and schedule electric supply based on estimated consumer use.

• Smart Grid meters and consumer devices provide the data to utility companies to predict power usage and further optimize cost through economic dispatch.

Economic Dispatch

Automatic Generation Control

• Automatic Generation Control (AGC) looks at load more frequently then economic dispatch (Real Time Heat Rate / Real Time Load Monitoring).

• AGC can evaluate load usage on a second‐by‐second basis which then determines if capacity adjustments need to be made.

• Smart Grids enable the combination of consumer load data, bulk electric transmission and distribution capability, as well as generation availability to all be shared for an optimum combination of options for utilities and consumers.

Economic Benefits of Implementing a Smart Grid

2010 West Virginia Smart Grid Implementation study concluded:

• Implementing a Smart Grid will:

Radically improve system reliability Lower the carbon footprint Support a better sustainable business climate Generate benefits beyond the borders

• Significant cost benefits found in report:

Approximately 1 million meters = $1.9B total Smart Grid Cost Total cost benefit = $10B, a 5:1 cost benefit ratio

Impact of a National Smart Grid Program

Benefits to Consumers

• Direct tangible cost savings

• Motivation to cut back use during high demand periods

• Comfort and piece of mind controls

• Consumer awareness of premium rates during high demand periods

Fiber to the Home for Smart Grid• Fiber is the preferred medium for Smart Grid:

Supports high data capacity Enables multiple applications Better protection from electrical interference Supports non‐field powered communications during utility outages Universal deployment across residential and commercial apps

• Fiber is the universal medium for long haul transport networks which are necessary to connect utility Smart Grids across the country.

• Smart Grid operators can offer economic incentives to FTTH operators to both support the Smart Grid deployment and expedite FTTH build‐outs.

• FTTH is necessary to meet the connectivity needs and projected growth of tomorrows utility Smart Grid networks.

T‐701‐IPlanning and Deployment of a National

Open‐Access PONAndrew Afflerbach

CTCFriday, September 30, 2011

The New Zealand Ultra‐Fast Broadband Network:

Flexible, Cost‐Effective Open Access

Andrew Afflerbach, Ph.D., P.E.Columbia Telecommunications Corporation

New Zealand’s FTTH Initiative

• Ultra‐Fast Broadband (UFB) project• Initiated by the Government of New Zealand• Managed by Crown Fibre Holdings (CFH), a government‐founded crown company

• Public‐private partnership

What UFB Demonstrates

With open access policies, off‐the‐shelf passive optical network (PON) technology can cost‐

effectively provide a wide range of competitive broadband services

Scope of UFB

• NZ$1.5 billion investment• Connect 75% of residents• Complete within 10 years

UFB’s Functional Requirements

• Create a reliable and scalable broadband network

• Deliver speeds significantly greater than those available over the incumbent digital subscriber line network

• Connect homes and businesses

UFB’s Business Requirements

• Fit within the project budget• Enable public‐private partners to operate a non‐discriminatory, open access platform

• Be operable by the public‐private partner with an acceptable amount of training and operational investment

UFB’s Approach to FTTH

• Open access• Passive Optical Network (PON) design• Standards‐based Gigabit PON (GPON) electronics– Reduces required fiber counts

UFB’s Services

• Metro Ethernet– committed information rate (CIR) – guaranteed quality of service (QoS)

• Multiple service providers serving each premises

• Point‐to‐point and diversely routed services for high‐volume and critical users

UFB’s Operations

• Scalable operational support system/business support system (OSS/BSS) solution

• Open access framework for:– Provisioning– Billing– Management– SLA enforcement

UFB’s Private Partners

• Telecom New Zealand – ILEC– will break into fiber and retail service provider entities

• Enable – owned by City of Christchurch

• WEL (publicly owned power company)• Northpower (publicly owned power company)

UFB Policies for Private Partners

• Complete construction within 10 years• Comply with service‐level agreement (SLA)• Offer non‐discriminatory access to retail service providers (RSP) for data, voice, video

• Pay back government investment upon completion

• Unbundle fiber in 2020

Role of Private Partners

• Construct or upgrade central offices (COs)• Build fiber between COs• Build fiber from COs to homes/businesses • Construct subscriber drops• Install customer premises equipment (CPE)• Operate/maintain fiber and Layer 2 electronics

End User Experience• Contract directly with RSP

– Legacy companies (Telecom NZ, Vodafone, Telstra, Sky)

– New entrants

• Standard data, voice, and video services• Future: New services expected

– Telemedicine– Telework– Etc.

Layer 1 Model

• Off‐the‐shelf technology• Aerial and underground construction• 1:24 split for PON technology• Two fibers per drop at premises

Layer 1 Model

Layer 2 Model

• RFP gets Layer 2 service from private partner– PON or point‐to‐point

• Most Layer 2 services: Ethernet over GPON• GPON premises served by multiple providers• RSPs provisioned over separate virtual local area networks (VLAN)

• Future upgrades will be required

Layer 2 Model

Lessons Learned from UFB

• Represents low‐impact way to transition a closed system to open access– For commercial reasons (e.g.., outsource RSP function)

– For regulatory reasons

• Layer 1 and Layer 2 could remain same during transition

Mean for My Network?Mark Boxer

OFSFriday, September 30, 2011

Fiber and Cable 201What do those specifications mean for my FTTH

network?

Mark BoxerApplications Engineering Manager, OFS

Agenda• Introduction• FTTH network background

– Backhaul, access

• Attenuation specifications– Attenuation versus wavelength, attenuation uniformity, macrobending, and

environmentally‐influenced attenuation specifications

• Dispersion specifications in the context of a typical FTTH network– Chromatic dispersion (CD) and polarization mode dispersion (PMD)

• Non‐linear effects• Glass geometry specifications

– Impact on the network, particularly splicing and connection loss performance

• Mechanical specifications– Strength distributions, dynamic fatigue, and coating performance

• Cable and connector specifications• Summary

High Capacity Backbone NetworksTrend–All FTTH networks are fed by backhaul networks–Backhaul networks are moving to higher speeds, more λ–Use of “ROADMs”

• “Reconfigurable Optical Add‐Drop Multiplexers”

• λs handled without OEO conversion

Implications for fiber use– Metro/regional links look like traditional

long haul links• Higher data rates (10 Gbps+)• Longer distances

– Additional fiber properties govern performance (Dispersion management becomes more important in addition to attenuation

Standards• Why are standards important?

– Intended only as a minimum performance level such the products will perform in the application

– Performance beyond the standards often has significant value in the network

• Fiber– ITU‐T G.652 recommendation, “Characteristics of a single‐mode optical fibre

and cable”– ITU‐T G.657 recommendation, “Characteristics of a bending loss insensitive

single mode optical fibre and cable for the access network”• Cable

– ANSI/ICEA STANDARD FOR OPTICAL FIBER OUTSIDE PLANT COMMUNICATIONS CABLE, Publication S‐87‐640

– Generic Requirements for Optical Fiber and Optical Fiber Cable, Telcordia Technologies Generic Requirements, GR‐20‐CORE, Issue 3, April 2008

Guidelines for the rest of the presentation

Red = Critical to review with suppliers

Yellow = Important to understand product capabilitiesGreen = Not typically a significant factor in network performance

• Review specification points and impact specifically on FTTH networks

• Note specifications that can impact the network’s current or future capabilities

• Specifications are evaluated from a network operator perspective

• Where possible, customers should look for outside plant cable performance that offers the flexibility to support either access or backhaul networks

Attenuation• Loss of light intensity as it propagates along the fiber• Measured in dB/km for fiber and dB for splices or connections• Depends on wavelength• Lower attenuation typically extends system reach

Attenuation specifications• Environmentally‐influenced

attenuation specifications– Driven by differences in

coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) in fiber and cable

– Cold temperatures are the toughest

• Higher wavelengths perform worse (1550, 1625 nm)

• Cabling and installation can affect performance– Ask for data/specs in

cabled form

Mode Field Diameter (MFD)

• Not all light travels in the core in single‐mode fiber

• MFD is the diameter where 90% of the light travels

• MFD mismatches typically pose no problems for system performance– Slightly elevated splice loss

• “Gainers” and elevated losses seen during splicing– Use bi‐directional averages to

determine actual splice loss

About fiber strength

• Glass is over 30X stronger than steel!– If fiber were fishing line, equivalent to

approx. 15 lbs test

• Coating performance is an integral part of fiber strength performance

• When designed and installed properly, fiber can last for decades

> 700 kpsi strength!

Speed is still the main selling point for Fiber access

As it stands, no-one is marketing a service for which an FTTH/B connection is indispensable

Only a few players are promoting their “innovative” services, most of which are centred around video, for which the quality of service is clearly better than it is with DSL thanks to a faster connection.

There are two main strategies being applied when pricing the services being supplied over new optical fibre infrastructures:

• Charging roughly the same for UFB as for regular broadband to speed up customers’migration

• Charging more for FTTH by incorporating value-added services, and especially video-centric ones

There are 3 main types of service that are currently available on broadband and FTTH networks:● TV and video services: which will eventually include 3D video and connected TVs● Person-to-person communication services (esp. home video calling solutions)● Commercial and personal services (e-training and e-health, home monitoring, cloud computing…)

Bandwidth and symmetry requirements

Innovative services over FTTH

● Fibre will improve the quality of existing TV services (HDTV , catch‐up TV, VoD)● It will enable 3D, especially once a standard for autostereoscopic (glasses‐free) solutions has been defined, which will no doubt help step up the spread of 3D TVs in homes

● Several operators have already announced 3D channels for their triple play bundles, either for live TV programming or in VoD

● Interactive services on IPTV both standalone and tied to programming● Person‐to‐person communication services that do not consume a lot of bandwidth but do need to have a symmetrical connection to work smoothly

● Commercial and personal services: widely available UFB will give users access to a host of new services, from e‐health to cloud computing

● Trials on innovative services are being carried out in several countries using dedicated platforms

Issues surrounding fibre for each type of playerTV and video: main FTTH growth drivers

Telcos

There are 3 types of player that are particularly involved in the supply of TV and video services:• Telcos, both incumbent and alternative carriers• TV industry players• Internet / OTT service providers

The stakes that fibre represents varies for these different players and can affect their strategies

TV market players OTT• Lower operating costs• Backhauling solution for mobile networks• Ability for all operators to market a wholesale solution• Less stringent obligations for incumbent carriers• Ability to increase ARPU generated by access• Ability to beef up triple play bundles

• High rollout costs• Problems accessing inside of buildings/customer premises, property owners refusing entry• Marketing strategy that can often not be applied nationwide• Lack of innovative services• Decrease in LLU revenue for incumbent carriers• Break up of triple play bundles as TV services become more widely available online

+

-

• Improved range of services compared to DTT and satellite (catch-up, 3D, interactivity, HD)• IPTV improved compared to services delivered over DSL thanks to increased bandwidth

• More downloads, so more piracy• Competition with OTT services and telcos• Increase in bandwidth costs due to the ubiquity of HD, which benefits from FTTH/B network capabilities

+

-

• Increased ad revenue due an increase in consumption spurred by users having faster connections• Ability to develop in-the-cloud services, drive widespread use online solutions, while reducing the number of devices in the home• Ubiquitous connected TV thanks to ultra-fast broadband. Combined with alliances with TV manufacturers, Internet-ready TV sets allow OTT content providers to generate new revenue streams

• Increased traffic means higher bandwidth costs• Positioning that still needs to be defined on managed services, with respect to the role played by telcos

+

Telcos Strategies: How will Fiber affect their Business Model?

Development scenarios based on Telcos’ strategies

Scenario 1: “FTTH/B: utility network”

Telecom carriers use their optical fibre infrastructure to refocus their energies on their core business, and adopt a “dumb pipe” strategy: offering increasingly fast connections and additional traffic and bandwidth management features over high-end IP boxes.

Avantages of optical fibre

Risks tied to optical fibre

Scenario 1 : "FTTx, utility network"

TV market players

Little competition fromtelcos

Increased competition fromOTT service providers

Telcos

Refocus on core business

Better services enabled by the network’s properties

Limited revenue dur to highrollout costs

OTT

Bigger audience thanks to increased bandwidth

Rise in bandwidth costs

Rise in ad revenue

Source: IDATE

Development scenarios based on Telcos’ strategiesScenario 2: “Technological transition from broadband to ultra-fast broadband”

Telcos deploy their new fibre infrastructure to prepare for a rise in demand for bandwidth which is being spurred more by the increase in the number of Internet-ready devices in the home and their simultaneous use, than by any new applications. To speed up the switch to UFB, they price their offers aggressively and expand their offer to include video products.

Scenario 2 : « Technological transition from broadband to ultra-fast broadband"

New opportunities in termsof services (interactivity, catch-up TV, etc)

Cut out of the TV and videoservices market by telcos, opening the door to new entrants

Faster connection and broader selection of content for customers

Growing lack of interest in bundled offers as competing TV/videodistribution networks develop

Greater access to ultra-fastbroadband users who are increasingly heavyconsumers of catch-up TV and video online

Rise in bandwidth costs

TV market playersTelcos OTT



Source: IDATE

Development scenarios based on Telcos’ strategies

Scenario 3: “Segmentation of the offer and premium services”

Telcos expand their business into providing premium content, especially video products and TV programming, but also bandwidth-hungry services like online gaming.They strengthen their managed services and establish strategic partnerships with content providers to flesh out their selection.

Scenario 3 : "Segmentation of the offer and premium services"

Partnerships with telcos to ensure QoS and rival OTT solutions

Increased risks created by the open access web (piracy, etc.)

Beefed up position on managed services

Monetize the networks by incorporating premium services

Create partnerships in sectors dominated by otherplayers

More bandwidth in increasingly well-equippeddigital homes: parntershipswith manufacturers

Services on the open Web of lesser quality than thosedelivered over managednetworks

MDU ConsiderationPAN 100

Mona SimonLUS Fiber

September 28, 2011

Business evaluation before serving• Layout plan/process for evaluating and

ultimately serving MDUs• Develop criteria that will determine whether to

serve or not– Maximum total costs (especially when

getting started)– Maximum cost per resident – Minimum take rate– Minimum revenue potential

Business evaluation before serving• Develop total costs to serve

– Costs should be separated between the following:o Outside Plant – Typically cost will be incurred

even to serve 1o Drop cost –Incurred as service requested; may be

cost effective to prepare to serve more than 1 o Inside Wiring – Typically incurred as service

requestedo Equipment – Incurred as service requested

Business evaluation before serving• Gauge interest of residents to gain knowledge

prior to investment• Determine revenue potential

– Apply average revenue to interested residents as per the survey

– Compare to averages seen in similar housing– Compare to averages seen in similar

geographical area– Adjust as necessary to realistic results

Business evaluation before serving

• Determine if complex meets the criteria set above

• Decide whether or not complex should be served at this time

• Save results for future re‐evaluation

Installation Considerations• ONT location (Inside or outside)

– All MDUs are different – Each one should be evaluated individually for ONT location

– Consider the following before deciding the location:o Can existing cabling be utilizedo Length of cabling if installing new power, coax,

and/or Cat 5 cableo Ongoing maintenance as it relates to locationo Material costso Aesthetics of installation

Some Context• Infrastructure Investment: • By 2030, US utilities will need to make a total

infrastructure investment of between $1.5 and $2.0 trillion. (Edison Foundation)

• Between 2010 and 2030, there will be $340 and $480 billion in SG investments. (EPRI)

• Fuel Cost and Mix Volatility:– Nuclear – Questions regarding the future of the US

Nuclear Energy Policy since Japan earthquake (Multiple Sources)

– Coal ‐ "Coal is a dead man walkin'," says Kevin Parker, global head of asset management and a member of the executive committee at Deutsche Bank. "Banks won't finance them. Insurance companies won't insure them. The EPA is coming after them. . . . And the economics to make it clean don't work." (Washington Post)

– Natural Gas

• Environmental Regulations: • Over 20 states have Renewable Portfolio Standards.

• Many utilities opting to avoid carbon‐intensive generation options.

• Carbon tax cost to the average ratepayer is estimated to range from $200/year to $2,000/year.

• And the Wild Card

• Consumer Involvement and Adoption

The Benefits: Some Predictions• Obtaining 20% of U.S. electricity from wind in 2030 would create 500,000 jobs

and $450 billion in economic impact. (DOE)• Smart Grid enabled distribution could reduce carbon emissions by up to 25%.

(DOE)• A 25% reduction in CO2 emissions would lower electric sector CO2 emissions by

7.6 billion tons by 2030; the same impact as removing 140 million cars from the road. (DOE)

• A state‐of‐the‐art high‐capacity transmission line can carry as much electricity as six standard lines, at 1/3 the cost, using 25% less land, and with 1/10th the line losses (AEP)

• Smart Grid enabled distribution could reduce electrical energy consumption by 5‐10%, CO2 emissions by 13 to 25%, and the cost of power related disturbances by 87%. (EPRI)

• The societal benefits of grid modernization will exceed the costs by four to one. (EPRI)

Communications Flexibility ‐ critical• The Smart Grid is a multi‐application

system that must interoperate on a unified network & platform

• We believe that by implementing the right communications technology there will be no need to retool the network

• Business case for future projects hard to achieve if change‐out is required…stranded assets

• System must offer a cost‐effective migration path that supports future technology, functionality and applications

• Future functionality must be ready to be switched on when the time is right without unnecessary costs or disrupting customers & operations

Great Expectations for Great Applications

Bryan J. RaderCEO

Bandwidth Consulting

If You Build It….

We used to think, if you build it they will come.

Then we thought, they must come first, before we build it.

Now we think, once they come, we need to build more than just ‘it.’

What Does That Mean?

“Fiber to the Home” (FTTH) is a wonderful platform.

Triple‐play penetrations are strong (for new and recent launches).

• Video ‐ Highly competitive/numerous new features• Broadband ‐ Becoming the centerpiece of the product mix• Voice ‐ Less compelling due to wireless, but still important

FTTH Triple‐Play ARPUs are often stronger than traditional cable.

But Long‐Term, the Investment in FTTH Demands More Revenue

• Video ARPU is hitting a ceiling.• Broadband ARPU is growing (but slowly) ‐ trade‐off is higher speeds to maintain price points.

• Voice ARPU is declining (slowing shrinking).

So, what can we do?

Take A Page From Apple’s Playbook

Introducing the FTTH Apps Store!

“Send ‘em shopping in the Apps Store.”

Video‐Voice‐Data are only the “starting point” for consumers.

Great Expectations for New Applications for FTTH Providers

Many new FTTH deployments change the landscape:

• From dial‐up to 50 Meg

• From Satellite to Linear/Non‐Linear Programming

• From long‐distance to flat‐rate pricing (domestic and International)

AND, they create the platform for new services.

New Services Like?

We can create “Apps” in Specific areas of interest (or need) such as:

• Tele‐medicine• Tele‐learning• Home Automation• Home Security• Video conferencing

Numerous companies are developing “apps” that fit our market well.

“Open‐Access Architecture”

Many FTTH Deployments are Open‐Access Architecture, available for anyone.

Some consider it a toll road: “App developers simply pay a success‐based toll”

Use the platform to seek more “toll‐payers”

Areas of Importance for FTTH Customers Vary By Deployment

We must look at our audience:

Real Example: Pulse Broadband

Pulse Broadband is a FTTH management company which recently launched a system in Ralls County, Missouri.

Ralls County Electric Co‐operative is a 4,500 home system near Hannibal, Missouri.

Pulse changed the landscape:

• Only had dial‐up speeds/satellite broadband• Less than 100 channels/no special features

Pulse Is Also Launching An “Apps” Store.

The web portal is called “Broadband Boulevard”, available to all Ralls County subscribers.

This Apps store will offer subscribers:

• Digital security monitoring• Home automation • Remote energy management• Tele‐medicine: voice and video conference calls with doctors/specialists (including

iPhone and iPad access)• Tele‐learning: access to college courses/English‐second language classes

“Apps” add Value, And Revenue

Some “apps” simply add value to subscriber relationship:

• Improve experience• Improve “stickiness”

Other “apps” add revenue:

• Security/home automation ‐ $30 ‐ $40 a month• Tele‐medicine ‐ $5 a month• Tele‐learning ‐ $50 a month

The Economics Demand It.

• FTTH Build‐Outs are expensive.

• Some have low numbers of < 10 homes per mile.

• Penetration rates can be lower, or slower than expected.

Typical ARPU for triple‐play: $120 ‐ $140 a month

“Apps” store is predicted to add $5 ‐ $10 a month (an additional 5% ‐ 7%) This can be an important increase.

Next Steps

Focus on “Apps” as part of your business plan.

It will bring the network to life:

• More attractive• More unique• More competitive• More revenue

It’s time to have...
