The document discusses FTTx and triple play integration using copper and fiber access networks. It describes an Ethernet point-to-point network using an active star topology with unlimited modems and distances up to 120km. The network provides low latency, 10Gbps maximum data rates per segment, and 95% efficiency. Compared to EPON, the P2P Ethernet network allows unlimited users per segment, longer distances, higher data rates, and greater efficiency and reliability. The document also outlines applications like IPTV, VoIP and video conferencing that drive bandwidth needs, and how a scalable network architecture using optical modems and switches can meet these needs.

CAPEX


EPON: N users (ONUs) require only N+1 optical interfaces
P2P: N users require 2N optical interfaces



for P2P each interface must only carry the user data rate
(e.g. 100 Mbps)
for EPON each interface must carry the full media data rate
(i.e. 1 Gbps)
-> cost for EPON interface significantly higher
