Jairo’s home connection:

“a high-end user's connection speed grows by 50% per year”(i.e. x2 every 21 months)

Access technologies for gigabit speeds

DOCSIS 3.1 6.4 Gbps 1.0 Gbps

DOCSIS 3.0Most deployedscenario today

CPE chipsets and Cable Labs certification ready in 2015First commercial products in 2016

(G)PON

Passive splitters for costeffective FTTH deployment

Technology Speed DS/US Timeframe

GPON 2.5 / 1.25 Gbps Now

XG-PON1 10 / 2.5 Gbps 2015/2016

XG-PON2 10 / 10 Gbps Longer term

DSL technologies

G.Fast: The next big thing after VDSL2-Vectoring.Promises 500Mbps till 1Gbps over short distances

VDSL-2 over longer distances G.Fast over shorter distances

First G.Fast chipsets in 2015, commercial products in 2016

Increasing bandwidth needs require a continual, gradual deeper penetration of Fiber

- FTTC : is the most popular deployment model for VDSL (~1km)

- Deeper penetration of fiber has significant hurdles :

- For FTTH : requires (re)contruction work

- For anything between FTTH (om) and FTTC (1km), local powering is an issue

FTTDp : A new FTTX on the block

FTTdp is the enabler for deeper fiber penetration (beyond FTTC)

Wireless client devices evolution

•Smartphones / Tabletsincorporating 1x1 11n

•Non-Apple PCs: 1x1n

•Apple PCs: 2x2/3x3 11n

•Flagship smartphones transition to 1x1 11ac

•Apple PCs: 2x2/3x3 11ac

•Tablets transition to 2x2 11ac •Flagship smartphones mix of 1x1/2x2 11ac•Non-Apple PCs: 1x1ac

•Flagship mobile devices begin to transition to 2nd generation mobile 11ac:

•160 MHz •1024 QAM •MU-MIMO

•Non-Apple PCs: 2x2/3x3 11 ac

Total improvement vs. 11n

- ~x3.38 ~x10.4

11ac improvements vs. 11n (PHY)

64-QAM vs. 256-QAM

Higher density of constellation (x1.3 higher)

Requires better SNR: ~5dB

Not suited for 2.4 GHz band (too noisy)

Requires good radio design or it will not work!

11n:

Standard foresees channels 20MHz or 40 MHz (optional)

In practice, 40 MHz in the 2.4GHz band is challenging:

Crowded environment

Overlapping channels

11ac:

80 MHz mandatory

Optional 160MHz, 80+80MHz

Real improvement because:

Cleaner environment

Non overlapping channels in 5GHz

80+80 can be used in case not possible to find contiguous 160MHz spectrum

80+80, 160MHz channels

Multi-user MIMO:

Not all spatial streams are going simultaneously to the same client STA

Beamforming to focus each spatial stream to the intended receiver

Restricted to downstream direction only

Increase overall efficiency of the network at expense of peak throughput for some stations

MU - MIMO

Gigabit service engine

Much more than a data pipe

Powerful multi-core CPUs allowing:

- Full Gb routing LAN-LAN-WAN

- Gb NAS / USB 3.0- Real time probes / diagnostics- Virtualization of services- DPI / traffic pattern analysis- Transcoding- Innovative applications …

Example of Qeo application: Wifi Doctor

Wi-Fi became the #1 problem quickly … and stayed there

New technology (e.g. 802.11b->n->ac) hasn’t helped

Tier 1 ISP

10M Subscribers120MUSD help desk / yr50% due to Wifi

Tier 2 ISP

2,5M Subscribers15.6MUSD help desk / yr25% due to Wifi

end-user frustration is piling up

Wi-Fi Doctor Vision

Improve the consumer experience by proactively solving their Wi-Fi Issues

•Enhances customer satisfaction•Reduces/Shortens/Increase effectiveness of help desk calls

Enhance visibility of consumer problems and Wi-Fi problem statistics to the NSP

•Aims at providing better insight of the problems we have to solve•Enhances the success rate of handling real helpdesk issues

Minimalize end-user interaction by introducing intelligent self learning mechanisms

•Adapt behavior in the home autonomously• Ideally adapt the behavior of multiple homes (network planning)
