  1. Access network evolution:the European perspective Umberto Ferrero CSELT P614 Project Leader

  2. Mobile Fixed radio access Satellite PSTN (existing copper plant) Powerlines Broadband overlay network CATV network USER Access as a commodity? Several access infrastructures can be exploited in the same area

  3. Who am I?Problem setting • What I want to offer from now? • Narrowband services (incumbent vs. new-comer) • Mobile services • Broadband services • Business/residential • Where I want to deploy the network? • Infrastructure/frequency availability, customer distribution • Regulatory environment • Telecommunication service development in the selected area • What is the expected evolution? • Service and penetration target

  4. Selection criteria • Existing infrastructure • Functionalities and performance • service type and characteristics • Cost • Initial investment, operation and maintenance • Maturity, standardization and OAM aspects • Evolutionary capability • bandwith, service and user scalability

  5. TRIBAN WORKSHOP Access network in EURESCOM P306: Access network evolution and preparation for implementation WOMAN WORKSHOP P413: Optical networking in the local loop • P614: Implementation strategies for advanced access networks • Outline of specifications for broadband access networks • Migration paths towards B-ISDN access networks • Exploration of broadband radio access • FTTx enabling technologies • FTTH architectures, services and technical issues • Techno-economic evaluation and comparison of identified B-ISDN/ATM based network alternatives 1992-94 1994-96 ANCIT WORKSHOP 1996-98

  6. Members of Project P614 • BT • CNET-France Telecom • CSELT/STET • DTAG • Hungarian Tlc. Company • OTE • Portugal Telecom • Swiss Telecom PTT • Telecom Ireland • Telecom Finland • Telefónica • Telenor This presentation is based on Results of EURESCOM Project P614

  7. Agenda 09.00-09.30 Opening and introduction 09.30-11.00 Access network architectures, systems and technologies 11.00-11.30 Coffee 11.30-12.30 The user point of view 12.30-13.00 A different point of view: vision for the future access network 13.00-14.00 Lunch 14.00-15.00 The economics of access network evolution 15.00-15.30 Round table discussion 15.30 Closing

  8. Access network architectures, systems and technologies • Wiring the world: target and interim solutions • architectures and systems for wireline delivery • results from P614 Deliverable 2 and 6 • Going wireless: broadband architectures and systems • architectures and systems for wireless delivery • results from P614 Deliverable 4 • The role of technology: from the device to the outside plant installation practice • components, outside plant, new technologies • results from P614 Deliverable 5 and 7

  9. The user point of viewGuest contributions from other EURESCOM Projects • What makes multimedia services usable and acceptable • results from EURESCOM Jupiter Project • Local information infrastructure to support Community communications networks • results from EURESCOM P801 Project • The broadband home network • has been extensively discuss during the two days before! • results available from P614 Deliverable 11

  10. A different point of view: vision for the future access network • Will bandwidth demand ever justify FTTH? • Yes, it will justify a low cost FTTH focused implementation! • FTTH as a consumer products • results from P614 Deliverable 8, 12, 13 and 14

  11. The economics of access network evolution • Techno-economic of broadband radio access • an early study on economic viability of the wireless option • results from P614 Deliverable 10 • Broadband upgrade economics: evolutionary paths and area specific investments • a comprehensive study on economics of broadband upgrade, and its implementation in specific environments • results from P614 Deliverable 3 and 10

  12. Also available ... • Analysis on the relative benefits of Service Node Interface standards • results from P614 Deliverable 1 • Survey of standardization activities • results from P614 Deliverable 9

  13. Round table discussion • Q&A session on the access network evolution • All the speakers available • Chair: Kevin Fogarty, EURESCOM Deputy Director

  14. Reflections on“The full service operator” • Competitive pressure requires careful investment but ... • a flexible platforms is highly desirable! • Long distance process • infrastructure deployment vs. rental • FTTx provides today the most flexible and cost effective full service platform

  15. P614 Deliverables

  16. P614 dissemination • P614 is becoming increasingly popular as a reference source of independent broadband access network recommendations • WEB site http://www.cselt.it/Cselt/P614 • request for reprints and documents from operators, manufacturers, journalist and consultants all over the world • Conferences, magazines, workshops • Ad-hoc workshops (for shareholders) • Deliverables are public domain • CD ROM to be published

  17. The future: EURESCOM BOBANBuilding and Operating Broadband Access Network • Focus: deployment of new technologies • Project set-up: December 1998 • Follow-up of EURESCOM P614 “Implementation strategies for advanced access networks” • Start first quarter 1999, end June 2000 • Supporting shareholders: CSELT/Telecom Italia, Swisscom, KPN, CNET/France Telecom, Deutsche Telekom, Telefonica, Sonera, Finnet, Telenor, Telecom Eireann, Telia, Telecom Portugal, Hungarian Telecom (others?)

  18. BOBAN: main study areas • Consistent delivery of services over different access networks • Access network monitoring and supervision • Broadband access demonstration • including low-cost DSL, low cost FTTH, power line communications • Access network equipment and outside plant technologies • equipment survey (RFI), broadband cabinet design • Planning tool specifications • WDM and FTTH technologies
