• Video telephony(Skype etc.)

• Live- multimedia sessions


Drivers & Trends: Consumers expectancy

Triple Play

Low costs Easiness of installation

Easiness of use

Bandwidth…and quality of service

Ultra-high bandwidth

ARPU


Trends & Drivers: Consumers expectancy

“Consumers expect (and

already rely on) uninterrupted,

high quality, always available

services.”

To summarize:

(1) Uninterrupted

(2) High quality (Bandwidth? QoS)

(3) Always available

What does this mean for your network?


FTTH & Home Network: What is what?

Distinguish two parts:

1) Fiber-to-the-Home:

“Next generation access”

Driven by telecom operators

2) Fiber-in-the-Home:

“Home Network”

Driven by consumers / services

Home gateway being then the frontier

between the telecom network and the

private home network

An update on Structured Cabling: The technology

AWG23 Al-laminated plastic foil,Unrestricted compatibility to all usual market components

Sheath: Protective elementsFlame and fire barriersNon-toxicLow smoke emission

copper braid, tinned, (ca. 65 % coverage)Best suppression of noise and EM interferences

An update on Structured Cabling: Standardization

Optical Multimode Fibers• OM1: Standard 62.5 μm fibres

• OM1 HiCap™: 62.5 μm enhanced

fibres; 1300 nm optimised

• OM2: Standard 50 μm fibres

• OM2 HiCap™: 50 μm enhanced fibres;

1300 nm optimised

• OM3 MaxCap™: enhanced 50 μm

fibres, 850 nm optimised

• MaxCap™ 300

• MaxCap™ 550

Optical Single Mode Fibers• ESMF: Enhanced Single Mode Fibres

• BIF: Bend Insensitive Fibers

10GBASE-fibre TypesISO/IEC11801


An update on Optic fibers: The technology

Optical fibers are made of

glass protected by polymer

coatings• Glass: the core

and the cladding– Overall diameter: 125 µm

• Polymer: the primary and

the secondary coatings– Overall diameter: 250 µm

Core (glass)

Cladding (glass)

Note: in this presentation optical fiber will refer to these

type of fiber based on extremely pure silica glass; when other types will be

addressed, their specific name will be used

Colored coating (plastic)

∅ = 0.008 mm (single mode)

∅ = 0.050 or 0.0625 (multimode)

Bend Insensitive Fibers (BIFs):

The best choice for Fiber-to-the-Home

Summarizing

Consumers expect:

1. Uninterrupted

services

2. High quality services

(e.g. Bandwidth/QoS)

3. Always available

services

Distinguish networks:

• Fiber-to-the-Home

• Fiber-in-the-Home

Home network;

Multiple solutions to meetthe consumer expectations: WiFi, Copper, POF, Optic Fiber

Fiber-to-the-Home; “Telecom operators see fiber as the ultimate solutions”, and several hybrid scenarios from different legacy situations to ultimately reach FTTH
