  on a mass scale of new and emerging business and
  residential applications

11
Residential Drivers
Bandwidth Growth

• Need for SPEED
• Consumer speeds increasing at 6-10x every 6 years
• Throughputs in excess of 1Gbps are expected by
  2015
• Competitive advantage
• New services/technologies
• Gain operational savings via copper replacement
• Central office consolidation

Central Office Consolidation Opportunity
PON Reach at 20km allows Number of COs to reduce
to 58
273 COs
30-40km PON distance appears ideal balance
between cost and technology
PON Reach is 30km allows Number of COs to reduce
to 29

Portugal

• As of September 2012, Vodafone has over 35,000
  customers on FTTH access.
• Alface project has been running commercially
  since September 2010, Libra project has been
  running commercially since March 2011
• Since September 2012, we have 476,000 homes
  passed.
• FTTH GPON is the technology used, with
  analogue/digital video overlay.

22
Capacity

• FTTH deployments offer much higher bit rates to
  customer. Vodafone Portugal base offer is 50/5
  Mb/s, with Internet Profiles up to 400/40 Mb/s to
  Residential subscribers.
• About 80 of our installed base subscribe to IPTV
  services. On-demand TV service (RestartTV) has
  increased the overall backhaul traffic and
  traffic per user.
• Some copper deployment is not suitable to deploy
  these bit-rate demanding services as VDSL2 is not
  viable

23
Interoperability

• OLT vendors already offer integrated gateways,
  but with few functionalities - today these
  gateways cant replace the already deployed CPE
  L2 ONT, they are expensive and they cant work in
  a multi-vendor environment.
• Vodafones goal is to have an integrated Home
  Gateway (similar to DSL) that can interoperate in
  a multi-vendor environment. This will reduce
  acquisition and retention costs, the amount of
  equipment installed in customer premises and
  simplify logistics.

24
Other EuropeanProjects

• Vodafone Germany has two FTTC trials under way in
  the cities of Wuerzburg and Heilbronn.
• Vodafone Italy is starting a project to deliver
  FTTH services with GPON technologies in Milan by
  using the Metroweb fiber network

• FTTx in the Middle East, Other Regions

African Projects

• Vodafone Ghana is deploying FTTC for increasing
  data rate to customers by using GPON as
  technology for backhauling street cabinet DSLAMs
• Vodacom South Africa is staring a project for
  delivering FTTH services to business and high
  spending residential customers using GPON
  technology

36
Australia andNew Zealand

• In Australia, NBN Co will deploy 181,000 km of
  GPON network, and 57,000 km of transit backhaul.
  Aerial drop fibre to be used for 25 of
  households
• Provides a bitstream service with equal service
  terms to all ISPs, including Telstra, which will
  lose control of the copper. High interest in an
  open PON solution to overlap to their initial
  GPON in order to give ISP freedom to install
  their own OLT at the Central Office
• In New Zealand, the government is deploying a
  NZ1.5 billion UFB (Ultra Fast Broadband
  Initiative) access fibre network through Crown
  Fibre Holdings (CFH). FTTH to be available to 75
  (800,000 homes and businesses ) of the New
  Zealand market by 2019
• Vodafone New Zealand will buy Layer 2 products
  from the LFCs to deliver FTTH in the retail
  market. GPON for residential and point to point
  for large businesses. 100Mbps down and 50Mbps up.
