The document discusses hybrid fiber powerline communication (HFPC) as a new solution to deliver internet services that combines fiber optics and powerline communication (PLC). HFPC uses aerial fiber optic cables on medium voltage poles for backhaul and PLC to connect to consumers over low voltage powerlines. This allows internet access through any electrical outlet in a home while reducing costs compared to all-fiber networks. The technology provides high bandwidth to support services like IPTV and allows for both PLC and direct fiber connections.

CONSUMERS demand Internet services but
generally they do not care how it is
delivered.

2. Hybrid Fibre Powerline (HFP)
Overview
 New solution which combines BPL with fibre
 BPL is used on LV only
 Aerial fibre optic cable on MV poles
provides backhaul
 Optimised for use with electricity systems
based on overhead poles
 Use MV pole wayleave as key asset
 BPL to consumers can be combined with
direct fibre services for business customers
 Unused fibres provide “dark fibre”
business opportunity

7. The challenge
 FTTH offer very high bandwidth to the premises,
especially to the house, however the following
challenge hold the deployment:
 Limited access method
 Installation disturbance (intrusive)
 Limited availability in every room

12. HFPL main benefits
 Cost effective
 Networks of this nature can not only be deployed quickly but also at a fraction of the cost
of FTTH and GPON/DSL
 Innovative
 Fiber to the node (FTTN) solution for high speed broadband services with possible
migration to FTTH in the future. GEPON/BPL and standard GPON ONTs can coexist on the
same splitter
 Simple design
 Uniquely integrated GEPON/BPL solution that minimizes network complexity and the
number of network element
 Full service coverage
 Network can be planned to support basic broadband connectivity plus upgrade to deliver
triple-play services
 First time revenue
 By not having to provide traditional copper or coax access connections to the premise
allow for simple, fast and automated service provisioning and a reduction in customer
acquisition cost
