Challenges for Rural Broadband…. Reducing Next Gen cost through Innovation

Neelie  Kroes  at  FTTH  Council  Conference  “…it  is  (…)  cri-cal  that  we  strictly  monitor  the  ac-ons  of  dominant  network  operators  (..).  Too  oOen  such  firms  tend  to  discriminate  against  compe-tors  in  favour  of  their  own.  “  “..Indeed,  it  (-­‐  new  EU  legisla-on  -­‐  )  now  grants  the  Commission  the  power  to  open  a  second  phase  inves-ga-on  (…).  And  we  are  ready  to  use  this  new  tool  to  ensure  a  properly  func-oning  market”    

“The  EU  2020  target  is  internet  speeds  of  30  Mbps  for  all  European  ci-zens,  with  50%  (…)  subscribing  to  100Mbps  or  higher”

Challenges for Rural Broadband…. Reducing Next Gen cost through Innovation

“Is it all about funding?……. No!” ü  Define your case object:

Size (HP/HC)?, What do you want to do with the network? # Users? Type of Users?

ü  Build your business case, find a ROI-model that works for your case.

ü  Make a framework design and different technology scenarios plus financial implications: FTTC vs Wireless; Wireless vs GPON-FTTH; Copper vs P2P-FTTH

Product Innovation Innovations in Fibers

A new world of opportunities opens via

this technology breakthrough!

•  Many  FTTH  project  operators  want  to  use  available  duct  space  •  Operators  want  the  maximum  capacity  in  the  minimum  space  •   BendBrightXS  200  micron  fiber  enables  a  high  fiber  count  cable  with  

an  outer  diameter  of  less  than  16  mm  for  more  than  696  fibers,    

38  mm  Inner  diameter  duct  

Reducing  CAPEX  and  OPEX  by  occupying  less  volume  within  exis8ng  infrastructures.

Before:  •  1728  fibers  can  be  deployed  using  standard  

fiber  (250  μm)  •  Allowing  only  2x19  mm  cables  to  fit  in  a  42  

mm  calibrated  ducts  (duct  45/50mm)  

AOer:  •  Now  a  total  of  2592  fibers  can  be  deployed  

in  the  same  42  mm  calibrated  duct  •  Using  Draka’s  new  BendBrightXS  200  μm  

fiber  technology  3  x  17  mm  can  be  used    

50%  more  capacity  for  ONLY  

30%  addi8onal  footprint

Case 3 (Reggefiber): Product Innovation Innovation in Home connections: RetractaNetXS OSP

Retractable  Cable    Ø Suitable  for  a  direct  buried  scenario  or  placed  into  an  exis-ng  infrastructure  

Ø Run  from  the  Op-cal  Distribu-on  Point  to  the  customer  premises    

Ø Fiber  modules  are  cut  &  pulled  back  before  being  pushed,  pulled  or  blown  through  microducts  

Ø OSP  tapping  box  protects  the  cable  opening  &  branches  the  modules  into  microducts  

 Benefit:    Reduces  skilled-­‐labor  costs  &  

 saves  8me  during  installa8on

Pre-­‐connectorized  Riser  Cables    •  Plug  &  play  in  the  basement  or  entry  point  of  an  MDU  

•  Reduces  the  labor  hours  and  complexity  of  installa-on  

•  High  quality  termina-ons  are  done  in  the  factory  and  tested  

•  Simplifies  a  mul--­‐operator  network    •  Allows  patching  between  operators  within  the  building  

   Benefit:    Simplifies  installa8on  &      

   eliminates  splicing
