Portugal


As of September 2012, Vodafone has over 35,000 customers on FTTH access. Alface project has been running commercially since September 2010, Libra project has been running commercially since March 2011Since September 2012, we have 476,000 homes passed. FTTH GPON is the technology used, with analogue/digital video overlay.

Capacity


FTTH deployments offer much higher bit rates to customer. Vodafone Portugal base offer is 50/5 Mb/s, with Internet Profiles up to 400/40 Mb/s to Residential subscribers.About 80% of our installed base subscribe to IPTV services. On-demand TV service (RestartTV) has increased the overall backhaul traffic and traffic per user.Some copper deployment is not suitable to deploy these bit-rate demanding services as VDSL2 is not viable

Interoperability


OLT vendors already offer integrated gateways, but with few functionalities - today these gateways can’t replace the already deployed CPE + L2 ONT, they are expensive and they can’t work in a multi-vendor environment.Vodafone’s goal is to have an integrated Home Gateway (similar to DSL) that can interoperate in a multi-vendor environment. This will reduce acquisition and retention costs, the amount of equipment installed in customer premises and simplify logistics.

Other EuropeanProjects


Vodafone Germany has two FTTC trials under way in the cities of Wuerzburg and Heilbronn.Vodafone Italy is starting a project to deliver FTTH services with GPON technologies in Milan by using the Metroweb fiber network

FTTx in the Middle East, Other Regions











African Projects


Vodafone Ghana is deploying FTTC for increasing data rate to customers by using GPON as technology for backhauling street cabinet DSLAMsVodacom South Africa is staring a project for delivering FTTH services to business and high spending residential customers using GPON technology

Australia andNew Zealand


In Australia, NBN Co will deploy 181,000 km of GPON network, and 57,000 km of transit backhaul. Aerial drop fibre to be used for 25% of households Provides a bitstream service with equal service terms to all ISPs, including Telstra, which will lose control of the copper. High interest in an open PON solution to overlap to their initial GPON in order to give ISP freedom to install their own OLT at the Central OfficeIn New Zealand, the government is deploying a NZ$1.5 billion UFB (Ultra Fast Broadband Initiative) access fibre network through Crown Fibre Holdings (CFH). FTTH to be available to 75% (800,000 homes and businesses ) of the New Zealand market by 2019Vodafone New Zealand will buy Layer 2 products from the LFCs to deliver FTTH in the retail market. GPON for residential and point to point for large businesses. 100Mbps down and 50Mbps up.
