Bandwidth Comparison • GPON • Depending on splitting factor > typically 39 Mbps upstream / 78 Mbps downstream with 32 fold splitter • Not sufficient bandwidth for business customers and for further distribution e.g. for FTTB • Bandwidth upgrade means either • Change splitter fold + CPEs • Change OLT card + CPEs • PtP Ethernet • 100 Mbps / 1 Gbps symmetrical for upstream and downstream • Able to serve business customers • Bandwidth upgrade affects only one CPE and one DSLAM port © KEYMILE

Resilience Comparison • GPON • Due to optical splitter 32 customers are using a shared medium • Line qualification and maintenance difficult • Failures or unfriendly attacks could affect the entire PON system and all connected customers • Not acceptable for business customers • PtP Ethernet • Line qualification and maintenance on single fibre connections well known • Failures only affects one line and customer • Unfriendly attack can be identified through standard security mechanism © KEYMILE

Network Components ETHERNET PtP CPE Optical DSLAM PON ONT SPLITTER GPON OLT © KEYMILE
Network Component Comparison – Central Location (OLT) • GPON OLT • New system architecture, often different platform for business customers needed • Fixed line rates on OLT ports (GPON, EPON, ...) • GPON Network management, different operational processes • PtP Ethernet (KEYMILE) • Optical DSLAM, same architecture and chassis as copper DSLAM • 100 Mbps / 1 Gbps symmetrical for upstream and downstream switchable speed for each optical interface (subrates can be configured) • Same Network management, configuration and operation exactly identical compared to xDSL DSLAM © KEYMILE
Network Component Comparison – Customer Equipment (ONT, CPE) • GPON ONT • Vendor dependant devices, ONT portfolio limited • Operates on full OLT downstream speed(GPON: 2.5 Gbps) • Depends on GPON NMS • Price evolution vendor dependant • PtP Ethernet • Vendor independent through Ethernet standard interfaces • Price evolution:Price decrease through tough competition • Could support e.g. TR069 (remote modem configuration) • Cheapest device:Lowest cost media converter 30-50 $ CPE ONT © KEYMILE
Network Component Comparison – Optical Splitter • GPON • Passive optical device but effects optical parameters • Wavelength dependent attenuation • Limits transmission range • Must be removed, if network shall be upgraded to Ethernet Point-to-Point • Eventually needs to be changed for PON upgrade • PtP Ethernet • Not needed © KEYMILE
GPON versus Ethernet-PtP: Vendor Interoperability GPON • GPON is standardized acc. ITU-T G.984.2 • In practice there is no interoperability between different GPON vendors given ONT <> OLT • Due to system aspects also in future the optimal performance of a GPON system can only provided by one vendor delivering the ONT and OLT Ethernet-PtP • Optical Ethernet Interfaces are standardized acc. IEEE 802.3 • Interoperability has been proven in practice by lots of vendors for years – due to optical Ethernet interfaces are used in transport networks for a long time © KEYMILE
COMPARISON PON VS PTP ETHERNET • FIBRE-TO-THE-BUILDING (FTTB) © KEYMILE
Fibre-to-the-Building (FTTB) – Challenges • Questions to be answered • How to connect the different buildings – for each household one fibre or per building one fibre? • How to connect subscriber inside buildings – copper pairs, fibre or Ethernet cables? 1 – 2 households OLT 3 – 16 households 16 – x households © KEYMILE
Fibre-to-the-Building in GPON Networks * New GPON systems allow dynamic bandwidth allocation Standard interface:78 Mbps downstream speed is shared by all customers* Several lines can not be used due to increased bandwidth on other lines* 1 – 2 households GPON OLT ONT ONT ONT 3 – 16 households ONT Direct OLT connection possible – but expensive Enhanced interface:n x 78 Mbps downstream speed is shared by all customers* 16 – x households © KEYMILE

FTTB Architecture Comparison • GPON • OLT up- and downstream line rate is fixed to 1.25/2.5 Gbps (GPON) • Customer line rate depends on splitting factor and ONT capacity • For ONTs taking more than one timeslot (upstream), bandwidth for other users need to be reduced or oversubscription has to be activated (DBA) • Customers without service (homes passed) are occupying a splitter port and 1/32 from the OLT port • PtP Ethernet • Line rate can be switched for each customer from 100 Mbps to 1 GbE • Due to direct point to point connections each customer line can be upgraded individually • Only customer in service have to be connected © KEYMILE
COMPARISON PON VS PTP ETHERNET • POWER CONSUMPTION © KEYMILE
Comparison: Power Consumption – Basic Information • GPON • Due to the splitter inside the passive network the laser power is much higher on OLT and ONT side • The optical splitter has the same insertion loss in both directions and depends on the splitting factor (32-fold splitter: ca. 17 dB) • GPON needs about 22 W per GPON port • 32-fold splitter: 0.7 W per port • 16-fold splitter: 1.4 W per port • GPON simple CPE: 10 W consumption • PtP Ethernet • New low power designs require less laser power: KEYMILE typical 1.5 W for 100 Mbps • Ethernet PtP simple CPE: 3 W consumption © KEYMILE
Comparison: Power Consumption GPON versus PtP – Compared Bandwidth © KEYMILE
Comparison: Power Consumption – Practical Case • GPON • In a typical GPON deployment there are unused splitter ports due to a not 100% customer take rate • Calculation Basis: • Homes passed. 100% • Homes connected: 30% • PtP Ethernet • In an Ethernet PtP environment only the subscribers which are taking the service are connected to an active port © KEYMILE

COMPARISON PON VS PTP ETHERNET • COMMERCIAL ASPECTS © KEYMILE
PON vs. PtP Ethernet – CAPEX • PON Infrastructure • Cheaper for the initial investment > optical splitters are saving number of fibres in the aggregation network • Passive splitter to be changed or removed in the network for bandwidth upgrade • Upgrade to PtP infrastructure needs additional investments • PtP Infrastructure • Needs about 5% more initial investment • From the first day on the most sustainable infrastructure – lives for the next 20 – xx years • The passive infrastructure takes 75% - 85% of the total investment © KEYMILE
The right Investment in optical Networks • Laying optical fibres causes the major share of costs • Important: choose the right topology now (Compare Ethernet shared medium with PtP) • Any network architecture has to be future-proof for the next 20 to 30 years • Today’s optical fibres (single mode) have an almost unlimited transport capacity:160 colours@10 Gbps = 1.6 Tbps) • FTTC demands much lower investments • The right way for an evolutionary approach • Further investments into the network structure will follow after 5 to 10 years © KEYMILE
PON vs. PtP Ethernet – CAPEX • PON Equipment • Cheaper for the initial investment for pure residential applications > uses less number of lasers in OLT • Depending on FFTB and business customer strategy CAPEX will be heavily increased • Complete Equipment comes from one vendor – normal price erosion in question • PtP Equipment • Initial investment higher for pure residential applications due to number of lasers • Advantages for business applications and FTTB connections • The equipment costs are only15% - 25% of the total investment © KEYMILE
PON vs. PtP Ethernet – OPEX • PON Equipment • Needs less installation space • Maintenance and failure localisation takes more time • New system concept needs dedicated skills and different way of operation • PtP Equipment • Needs more installation space • Easy operation of customer lines due to point to point connection • Same operational concept like today for residential and business customers Optical DSLAM © KEYMILE
