Important Concepts
• Design process for access solutions over fiber begin in the CO/HE, moves thru the Optical Distribution Network and terminates at or near the subscriber’s premises. Design for the SA is key.
• The current generation of access electronics is estimated to have a life cycle of 3-5 years. Up to 100Mbps today, 1-Gbps tomorrow.
• Conservative estimates place the physical infrastructure of the fiber network with a 20-35 year life expectancy.
(Personal Observation – Should last 50+ years.)
• Proper fiber techniques will provide for the a smoothly run network today and a foundation for the transition between the current generation of access electronics and the next.
