Fiber to the Premise: Best Practices, Technologies and others CHRISTOS BOURAS Professor Department of Computer Engineering and Informatics, University of Patras, Greece Research Academic Computer Technology Institute (RACTI) http://ru6.cti.gr/bouras/ http://www.broadbandcities2008.com Broadband Cities 2008 -Trikala, Greece October 20-23,2008
Best practices(1/2) • The term “best practices” includes • the actions, • the strategies, • the practices and • the laws that several countries, cities or communities have applied for development of broadband
Best practices (2/2) • Factors that influence : • The regulatory framework • The foundational changes that take place in the Information Technology and Technology markets • The changes in bandwidth services and their use • The technology development • The users’ need for faster access to content • The cost • The electronic readiness (e-readiness) and in general the technological level of a country
Use cases in the world • Sweden • Stokab, Sollentuna, Hudiksvall, Västerås • Finland • Netherlands • Amsterdam, the Hague, Tilburg, Almere, Nuenen • Switzerland • Norway • Ireland • United Kingdom • France • Siperec, Paris • Austria • Vienna και Ried • Denmark • Germany • Italy • Spain • LocalRet • Portugal • Russia • Slovenia • Slovakia • Lithuania • USA • UTOPIA project, Lafayette • Canada • New Zealand
Broadband connections worldwide (1/4) Subscribers share worldwide – Q1 2008 Penetration and Development during the 1st trimester of 2008
Broadband connectionsworldwide (2/4) Technological Tendencies Q1 2008 Broadband per Access Technology Q1 2008
Broadband connections worldwide(3/4) DSL market share Cable modem market share
Broadband connections worldwide (4/4) FTTH market share
Change of paradigm Innovation Services Applications Knowledge To the electronic communications and services. Everything is at the edges of the Network!!!
ADSL? No Thanx! 7 1 ADSL Internet 1 ADSL makes us consumers and not PRODUCERS
Fiber Optical Access NetworksFTTx • Architectural design • Fiber To The Home (FTTH) • Fiber To The Node (FTTN) • Technological Choices • Active Ethernet • Passive Optical Network (PON) • Type of Services • Dedicated dark fiber, • Wavelength bid (λ) • Bitstream services
Challenges(1) • Public Networks • Network Neutrality • Open Access • Management Schema • Should we consider global infrastructure network?a backbone network? • Business Models & Services • Symmetric high-speed connections • New broadband services • Profits & viability
Challenges (2) • Implementation • Network architectures • Technological solutions • Structural Choices • Management & Operation • Providers – Public networks cooperation • Update of legislative and regulative frame Επικαιροποίηση νομοθετικού και ρυθμιστικού πλαισίου • Define Quality of Service level • Urban encumbrance

BroadbandPerformanceIndex (1/2) Πηγή: EU
BroadbandPerformanceIndex (2/2) • European broadband market is developing at a fast pace • Some of the European countries are globally at head • As long as the market grows, there is a need for evaluating European Union’s alertness for promoting the development of broadband access • The new Broadband Performance Index (BPI) is the current standard for measuring the presence of member countries in a commercial level, that inludes • Speeds • Rural areas coverage • Financial tolerance • Innovation • More Social-financial components
Cost Factors • The cost depends on: • FTTH Architecture • Material Prices • Existing Infrastructure (underground or air infrastructure) • Characteristics of ground/ underground • Cost for Working • Urban/Suburban/Rural (houses/km2)
Costs in percentage during the first year of the installation of a new optical fiber network
Implementation cost per technology per area • Areas: • Α: Rural • B: Urban • C: Remote
Who and How will realize it • There are several schemas • Partial State intervention • Full State intervention • Or… combination of the above • What is the role of local authorities? • What is the position of the market? • What will happen with the MANs?
Argument in favor of government-sponsored broadband networks
Note • Streets were built in order to provide transportation for all vehicles (OPEN ACCESS) • BROADBAND IS A PUBLIC INFRASTUCTURE WITH GREAT IMPACT ON LOCAL ECONOMY AND DEVELOPMENT
