Roadmap to reach the EU’s Digital Agenda objectives
FTTH Conference
London 19-21 February 2013
Demand for bandwidth doubles every 40 months in the EU
50% of EU population

New DSL technologies promise higher speeds over copper, but they are not a solution for the entire population…

… and in many cases FTTH is the more suitable solution

ü Symmetry and latency
ü Migration
ü Open network structure

Fiber will continue to penetrate deeper in the access network, and at increased speeds
Cumulative percentage of copper converted to fiber
= 10x more fiber construction = 20x more fiber provisioning
vs 2000 - 2010
Fiber in access networks requires smarter technologies
Core Network = Static Physical Layer
Access Network = Dynamic Physical Layer

• 1 step = construction • No planned changes
• Stable and secure • Long – few connections
• 2 steps = construction & provisioning • Constant churn of customers
• Vulnerable – repair & maintenance • Short – many connections (x6)
The industry has to provide FTTH solutions meeting the needs of deep fiber deployments in the access network
Improved Speed of Installation 1
Create products and processes to reduce ordering time & are easy to install
Reduced First Cost AND Total Lifetime Cost
2
Choose value added features that reduce and avoid post-installation maintenance
Decreased Need for Installation Skills
3
Design in reliability. Decrease direct fiber handling. Avoid unnecessary labor (e.g. measuring).
