FACTORS INFLUENCING
FTTx STRATEGY SELECTION
Building owners know there
are government broadband
targets, and have started to
charge money to enter
buildings
Operator in APAC
30% of FTTH subscribers
change their mind when
the engineer asks where he
can drill holes in the wall
for the fiber
Operator in Europe
To connect 7,000 house-
holds, we needed 30,000
phone calls in 40
languages just to schedule
home visits
Operator in Western Europe
Engineers are not allowed
to enter the home if the
husband is not at home, and
need to reschedule the
appointment

FTTx COST COMPARISON, CAPEX + INSTALLATION
INVESTMENT
• From FTTN (4x) to FTTH (15x)
• The closer to the subscriber, the
closer the cost to FTTH

TIME TO MARKET
• Deploying FTTH is time consuming
• Re-using existing copper can speed
up deployment

BANDWIDTH
• FTTH: 1G and more
• FTTx: 100M (VDSL2 Vectoring
today), G.fast evolution to 100s

• GPON ONT with VDSL2 port as user interface
• Allows to bring GPON to the home, without having to touch in-house CAT3 wiring.
• First product: SFU
- Single family unit (single VDSL2 port)
• Indoor installation only at the start
• VDSL2 17a & 30a support
• Target service delivery: > 100 Mbps DN / 50 Mbps UP
• G.INP (physical retransmission) and SRA
• Reverse power feeding
• Customer self-install
• Fall back using by path relay in case ONTs is out of service

16. FIBER TO THE DISTRIBUTION POINT (FTTdp)
VDSL2 (17a, 30a) NOW, G.FAST IN 2015
• Gradual deeper fiber deployment: FTTdp / FTTB
• To boost bit rates beyond what is possible from cab
• To optimise Cost of fiber deployments
• Multi-port DPU (distribution point unit)
• Typically requires vectoring (or anti-crosstalk)
• Typically reverse powered (shared)
• Open for outdoor deployment. Vectoring not in scope for indoor
• Facilitate FTTH
• Stay out of house / apartment with fiber
reduce cost of FTTH
• Single-port DPU
• No vectoring needed
• Reverse powered (independent per user)
