Access Network ChallengesAccess Network ChallengesAnd SolutionsAnd Solutions

Access Network challengesAccess Network challenges

Prices are compressed / Traffic increases faster than revenues

> Need to control costs (capex/ opex/ spectrum)

More players compete for customer base

> Need to Deliver added value services

Need to Upgrade / Modernise infrastructure

EDGE- HSPA- WiFi- WiMAX – xDSL - xPON

Offer Broad band Fixed +Mobile service packages

Multiple technologies co-exist (Legacy and New)

Need to Select the best upgrade path / mix of technologies

Global standards - based

High capacity for True Broadband service delivery

Advanced nodulation for enhanced Coverage (LOS & NLOS)

Quality of Service (QoS) support for Data, Voice, Video

IP-based architecture for cost efficient delivery of BB services

Low spectrum cost

Operator challenges : BackhaulingOperator challenges : Backhauling

Need BH that can offer more for less cost

Backhaul type selection depends on :

Type / Amount of traffic to be backhauled

Existing / Legacy infrastructure

Specifics of deployment environment

Timescale for the deployment of the service

Operators can either :

Lease capacity

Build/upgrade their own network

Wireless or Wireline solutions exist
