When Time to Market Counts


Key Metrics in Network Deployment

Pace of Deployment– Minimize network deployment time

– Secure early victories

– Satisfy stakeholders

Cost - Maximize return on invested capital

- Avoid delays with power drops and permits

- Reduce equipment & construction costs

- Remember the maintenance - TCO

Network Performance– Coverage - Satisfy demand

– Maximize bandwidth - Fend off competition

– Preserve the future – Avoid short term gains at long term expense

FTTN & FTTdp/B Challenges

Multi-technology access networks go a long way towards

addressing key metrics, but challenges remain

Space Constraints

Do we put the

cabinet in the

parking spot?

Aesthetic Impact

So you want to put a

noisy cabinet in front

of my gated home?

Powering

Coordinating with

utilities for local

power drops


Reinventing DSLAM Deployment

Existing pillar with adjacent

pit for cable access

Sealed DSLAMs located in pit

and remotely powered

No aesthetic impact, no waiting on right-of-way permits and no

waiting on local power drops

Lowest Cost & Fastest Deployment

Operational considerations• 10,000 Subs = 1 x CO, or 50 Cabinets, or ~2500 DPUs

Why is OSP Experience Important?

• Cost per port sensitivity

• VDSL2 and G.fast co-existence & cutover

• Reverse power

• Customer self-install

• ~ 2 Million DPUs for Australia

OSPs Critical to any Successful G.fast Business Plan

Differences with VDSL2

•

G.fast TDD vs FDD of VDSL

• Tunable US/DS = New Service Opportunities

• Data Rates= Combined US/DS

• Selectable Start Frequency (Coexist with VDSL2 Services in the Basement)

• Discontinuous Operation for power saving

DSL acceleration technology

• Defined in ITU-T G.9700 and G.9701

• DMT-based like VDSL2/ADSL2+

• Wider spectrum = Higher rates ( 2.2 MHz up to 106 MHz or 212 MHz)

• Very high Frequency = Higher Attenuation


G.fast Key – 2014 Key Milestones

• First Power up – 7th May

• Initial Operation VDSL2 17a June 10th

• G.fast first operation June 17th

• Upstream & Downstream ratio results

July 2nd

• Chip Level Vectoring Operation September 23rd

• Reverse Powered October 1st

• Board Level Vectoring December

FDV Motivation – The Coexistence Penalty

• Coexistence with vectored VDSL2• Vectored VDSL2 occupies the first 17 MHz

• Modest impact for short distances

• Impact increases significantly with distance

• FDV Expands Practical the deployment opportunities up to 400m
