    What is FTTx?
    • FTTH: fiber to the home
    • FTTP: fiber to the
    premises
    • FTTC: fiber to the curb
    • FTTN: Fiber to the node
    • FTTx: for those who can’t
    decide what to call it or
    are referring to all
    varieties!

    What is FTTx?
    • Mostly a telco issue
    – Telcos have many aging
    cable plants
    – CATV companies have
    HFC networks in place
    – Competitive carriers now
    install own fiber
    – Telcos fighting for
    exclusive rights

    Who Competes With Telcos
    In Implementing FTTx?
    • Municipalities
    • Utilities
    • CLECs
    • Private companies
    • Battleground for telcos
    and CATV companies

    Where is the fiber?

    • Where is the bulk of telephone cabling?


    – 10% is long distance
    – 10% is local loop (metropolitan)
    – 80% is subscriber loop
    • Long distance and local loop are
    virtually all fiber
    • Is FTTx just completing the system?

    Why FTTx? Why Now?
    • Telcos are suffering with aging copper
    cable plants
    • Telcos are losing broadband customers to
    CATV and landline customers to cell
    phones and VoIP
    • New services are becoming available to
    enhance revenue - and customers
    demand them
    • Regulations changed sharing issues
    • New technology (PON) and cheaper
    components makes FTTx cheaper

    Why FTTx? Why Now?
    • Many telcos are realizing that
    the alternatives to FTTx are
    inadequate for future bandwidth
    needs:
    – DSL won’t have the bandwidth
    – Wireless won’t have the bandwidth
    – BPL won’t have the bandwidth
    • Eventually they will have to go
    FTTx, so why put off the
    inevitable?

    Who Wants FTTx?
    • Homeowners: for high speed Internet
    access and video downloads
    • Home Builders: FTTx adds value (and
    profit) to their homes
    • Hardware Providers
    • Service Providers: IPTV, HDTV, video
    on demand

    FTTx is gaining momentum
    • US: 6 million
    homes passed
    (Jan, ‘06)
    • 1,000,000
    connected
    • Still a drop in the
    bucket!
    • Data from Render,
    Vanderslice and
    Associates, 2006

    What’s In It For Contractors?
    • Contractors are doing FTTx installs for
    Verizon and others
    • While few electrical contractors do
    residential electrical, homes with
    structured cabling offer double the work
    and potential profit!
    • FTTx will affect the commercial fiber
    market - fiber is cheaper!

    FTTx Architectures
    • Home run - fiber from CO to every home
    • Active star - local switch then fiber to
    every home
    • Passive optical network (PON) - use
    splitter near customer share fiber to CO
    • WDM PON - PON but with each
    customer having a specified wavelength
    • All based on standard SM fiber

    FTTx Is Driving
    Residential Cabling
    • Driven by FTTH, building
    codes, customer demand
    and builder profits
    • More diverse than
    commercial cabling
    – Internet
    – CATV coax
    – Home theater
    – Intercom
    – Security
    • TIA 570A+
