  1. The Importance of the Management Plane for FTTP A Perspective of a USA Service Provider

  2. The Telecom Industry is Changing • Last Year Marked a significant Change in the Telecommunications Industry in the USA • Traditional Wireline companies saw a loss in overall access lines, despite an overall gain in Homes Passed • The oldest telecommunications company in the world, left telecom as a technology and evolved to merge with Cable as a transport • Users appetite for bandwidth is accelerating • MOBILITY HAS BECOME THE PARADIGM

  3. A USA Perspective • 160 Million Americans have Mobile Phones • 24 Million have 1st Generation Broadband connection • Wireless Networks are allowing Broadband on the Go • Picture/Camera Phones outsold every other phone type in the USA

  4. Broadband + Mobility = Transformation

  5. Goal in the Industry • Goal is to deliver 100Mbs capacity to the customer, no matter where they are, at home, at work, or on the go.

  6. Where do we get there from here? • Reinventing our networks around broadband, packet and Voice over IP technologies • Vision is of an integrated Multi-megabit network that will fuel the growth of high-technology industry

  7. Some Statistics • 46 Million of our telephone lines are equipped for DSL • More than 36 Million people each day use Verizon Wireless • Serve over 7 Million Small Businesses and over 80% of the Fortune 1000 • Over 100 Million people uses Verizon Networks every day • Currently support over 2 Billion Peer-to-Peer connections every day

  8. Key to survival in a transitioning market • Deploy leading edge technology • High on the bandwidth chain • Good Service • Great Value Proposition

  9. What is FTTP? • Fiber To The “x” (FTTx, with x being the “C” for the Curb, or “P” for to the premises) is an important, emerging technology that will provide customers with new feature-rich services and improved quality of current services.

  10. Why FTTP? Why Now? Is FTTP the answer?

  11. Why FTTP? • Consumers will require additional bandwidth to the home in the near future • Competition is beginning to offer a “triple-play” (i.e., voice, video, and data) bundle • FTTP provides SPs with the ability to provide “cutting edge” technology and “best-in-class” services • Deploying a fiber optic cable to each premises will provide an extraordinary amount of bandwidth for future services • An FTTP based network will result in less operational expenses

  12. 100M 12 - 50M Access Bandwidth Growth 12 – 25M 1.5M – 3M 256K – 1.5M 144K 2.4 – 56K VDSL Cable Modem ADSL2(+) ADSL DDS 1970’s ISDN FTTP 2004 Why FTTP? (Cont’d) FTTP has the necessary bandwidth to support near term and long term services • Today's applications are continuing to drive demand for increased bandwidth • Historically, unforeseen applications have quickly consumed available bandwidth and driven the development of higher speed platforms

  13. Why Now? (Cont’d) • SPs are losing access lines • Bundling with the triple-play should reduce the churn • Competition with cable providers is forcing action • Cable Modems currently have over 60% of the HSD market share and the gap is expected to increase • Cable companies are beginning to offer voice over cable • A number of IP telephony trials are currently underway: • Time Warner in Portland, ME • Comcast in Coatesville, PA • Cablevision in LI / NJ • Experience suggests that cable will be very successful, absent an effective competitive response.

  14. High Speed Internet Access (browsing, IM, Chat, FTP, VPN, access, etc) Up to 3 Mb/s E-Mail As above Live TV on PC 300 to 750 kb/s Data Application Typical bandwidth (downstream) Internet Video on Demand 300 to 750 kb/s Video Conferencing 300 to 750 kb/s Voice telephony 5 to 128 kb/s Interactive Games 10 to 750 kb/s Broadcast TV – (e.g., MPEG2) 2 to 6 Mb/s High definition TV – HDTV 12 to 19 Mb/s Pay Per View and NVOD (e.g., MPEG2) 2 to 6 Mb/s Matching Application and Network Requirements

  15. Deployment of FTTH • Plan is to reach 1 Million Homes by end of 2004 in the 20Mb to 30Mb rate • Double that rate as we move into 2005 • Reach 100Mb by 2007

  17. FTTP Basics • Full Service Access Network (FSAN) – Primary source of PON standards. Created by service providers in order to facilitate suitable standards. • FSAN Standards – ITU-T G.983 • Passive Optical Network (PON) – a point-to-multipoint local access Network. • Optical Line Terminal (OLT) – active component typically located in the central office. • Passive Optical Splitter – distributes optical signal from a single fiber to multiple fibers, merges signals from all fibers, & connects them to the OLT receiver. • Optical Network Terminal (ONT) – housed in a network interface device enclosure.

  28. SO, What is missing? • No Standards currently exist for the Service Management or Network Management of Co-merged networks

  29. What is Needed? • Requirements for Service Management • Common Protocol-neutral models of these interfaces • Common agreed upon Protocols to support the Service and Network Management Interfaces

  30. Standards will drive the speed with which newer technologies can be delivered Picture Messaging Voice Data Video Conferencing Common Protocol Common Infrastructure Video Service Voice over IP Gaming Virtual Private Network

  31. So what areas do these new standards need to cover?

  32. A brief look at a Verizon answer to that Question Iobi and Verizon-one

  33. How do we create this new set of Service Management Standards? • Rethink the applicability of our current B2B models for SP to SP operations • Begin aggressively the development of C2B interfaces by • Focusing on requirements • Evaluate the applicability of current standards • Understand the Value Proposition of standards in this area

  34. Additional Considerations • Home Network Selection is currently ill defined in terms of a practical solution to support all data types • Current Home Gateways do not offer the security needed to support the multi-SAP models • QoS models and requirements are not defined for all Home Networks or Gateways
