At every second house a short trench is dug from the street fibre line to a point adjacent

to the consumer premises. An access hatch is created containing a fibre terminal

WHAT IS FTTH?Trenching both sides of every road in a neighbourhood to lay

fibre on either side of the street. (22km of fibre in total)

INFRASTRUCTURE CREATION

As customers subscribe a final fibre link from the hatch to the inside of the

premises are installed and connected to a fibre modem and WiFi router

CUSTOMER INSTALLATION

WHAT IS

FIBREPOYNT? Wi-Fi / LTE delivered with shaped beam antennas for the final 30m to 250m to a

high gain outdoor antenna at the consumer premises...The FibrePoynt solution

Let’s see how PARKVIEW may be connected using FibrePoynt.

Note: This sample case study assumes no existing fibre/FTTH system is available.

Janus CAP units are mounted about 4m above ground through the

neighbourhood, along the sides of all roads about 500m from each other

WHAT IS

FIBREPOYNT?

= Janus CAP

Each Janus CAP creates two beams pointing away from each other, directed up

and down the street. Each beam covers 250m of street or about 20 houses

= JCAP beam coverage (approx. 250m)

FIBREPOYNT?

Blue Nova do offer units down to 0.6kWhr capacity which will

comfortably be accommodated in the JCAP unit

Distributed storage to cache media or other bandwidth intensive infoBackhaul with options of pure fibre, hybrid fibre/microwave or mainly

microwaveFast rollout: 30 days or less with less regulatory/wayleave approvalsCaters for licenced (LTE) and unlicensed (use WiFi) operators using

both Wi-Fi and LTE, and provides redundancy and increased capacityInfrastructure shareableScalable without compromising capacity or speed Capacity ensured with each cell (beam) covering limited number of

consumers

Speeds > 100Mb/s equal or better than current FTTH offerings from

both LTE / Wi-Fi technologies

Link blockage low because beams directed along “road corridors” for

small distances

“Hard core” stable links with massive S/N ratios due to outdoor high

gain antennas used over short distances

BACKHAUL

CONCEPT

Sample hybrid fibre / microwave backhaul Only fibre or more microwave can be used based on cost, capacity and deployment speed

requirements

Fibre connection to around 20% of JCAPs. Parkview example

shown 16 JCAPs are linked to fibre backbone.

1

Remaining JCAPs connect to “fibre” JCAPs using 1

to 3 hops high speed microwave. Parkview example

requires remaining 30 JCAPs linked to 16 fibre

connected units via high speed PtP microwave.

2

Possible future expansion to FTTH once market is

established and user requirement for 1Gb/s and

higher speeds demand direct fibre.

CAPITAL COSTS

Cost of laying FTTH fibre in Parkview:

R700/m or R700,000/km.

Therefore, laying 22km of fibre @ R700/m = R15.4m

Capital cost for infrastructure

CAPITAL COSTS

JCAP installation in Parkview and linked to Jhb City Power:

R120 000 (JCAP hardware – box + equipment)

+ R7000 (installation cost)

+ R3000 (Electricity connection cost per box)

= R130 000 (total cost per JCAP)

Total of 50 JCAPS required, therefore:

46 x R130 000 ≈ R6m

Fibre backbone (backhaul) - 1500m @ R700/m = R1.05m

JCAP + backbone = R6m + R1m = R7m

Capital cost for infrastructure R15.4m

CPE CONNECTION CALCULATION FOR FTTH:

Cost of R5000 to connect one consumer (from kerb to house including fibre

modem and WiFi unit.

Assume 50% penetration of 2000 houses = 1000 houses.

R5000 per house x 1000 houses = R5m


Cost for connecting 1000 CPE

units

R7mR15.4m

CPE CONNECTION CALCULATION FOR FIBREPOYNT:

Each installation - R2500 including antenna LTE / WiFi router + labour.

Assume equal penetration as FTTH, at 1000 consumers.

R2500 per house x 1000 houses = R2.5m

ONCE-OFF CUSTOMER INSTALLATION COST:

Each customer in Parkview pays a R1500 “once off fee” per installation.

Assume for both FTTH and FibrePoynt installation R1500 will be recovered.

R1500 per house x 1000 houses = R1.5mR1.5m
