Why FTTX?

• IP dominates the traffic.
• Future Services are IP based.
• Current Services migrate to IP (e.g. VoIP).
• Convergence of the Services in IP.
• Ethernet becomes the standard customer interface.
• Bandwidth demands increasing.
• Dynamic bandwidth allocation required .

• Currently deployed telecom access network
  solutions are
• Mostly TDM-based (for narrowband traffic, e.g.
  legacy telephony)
• ATM-based (broadband traffic, e.g. ADSL)
• The result is a gap between access network
  technology and service evolution trends.
• When and how should the operators upgrade their
  AN ?

Why GPON?

• Reduced Operations costs for IP service
  delivery. (One NMS, One Network)
• Mass deployment driving down costs .
• Easy to enhance and upgrade.
• Increased revenue from a full suite of services
  .
• 10 GB OLT uplink.

• No active components between the C.O and the
  user thereby minimizing the network maintenance
  cost. From around 500 POP to 100 POP.

• Supplies a single fiber to the end user , giving
  the customer a huge communication pipe to provide
  revenue generating services.
• Support for long reach from the CO to the user
  (15km).
• 50 New Building.

Etisalat GPON Network Architecture.
The recommended target architecture is FTTP with
a mix of PON and point-to-point links.

• Benefits- technical perspective
• enables the 100Mbps objective for everybody
  without compromise
• Based on the latest standards and product
  developments
• possible support of legacy services (POTS, CATV,
  xDSL)
• enables a fully converged access network
• Benefits - Total cost of ownership
• Solution proven to be less CAPEX hungry than a
  FTTC deployment (Greenfield case)
• It will enable long term OPEX savings thanks to
  rationalization of technologies (reduced
  maintenance costs, reduced equipment space,
  increased economies of scales, )

• Etisalat Deployment Plan.

GPON technology allows for a considerable
reduction of Points of Presence.

• The length restriction of copper last miles
  vanishes with the advent of GPON allowing to
  minimize the GPON termination points
• 4 POP only.
• We start with East Exchange Abu Dhabi . 10k
