  1. Fiber To the Antenna Market Opportunity and Solutions Overview November 7th, 2011

  2. Agenda • Market Drivers • Deployment Scenarios • JDSU solutions

  3. Market Drivers

  4. What Is Driving Network Growth? Content, Applications, & Intelligent Devices Killer Applications Network Traffic Growth Infrastructure Modernization • High definition, media rich content • Interactive mobile applications • More mobile base stations • Low latency backhaul • Mobile penetration: 100% by 2015 • SmartPhones: 75% by 2015 Fiber Networks are Proliferating to Support Backhaul Needs

  5. Mobile Networks are Strained • More Cells Required • For example: a 700 MHz LTE network with 10 MHz, will deliver sector throughput of 15 Mbps. • In the US alone there are on average 1000 subscribers cell site, or 333 subscribers per sector. • Each subscriber will be sharing 15 Mbps! Average Subscribers per Cell Site (US) • Too many users are simultaneously using the same capacity. • LTE/4G build out requires an order of magnitude more cell sites. • . More cell sites and Antennas Reduces the Number of Subscribers Per Cell

  6. Mobile Network Coverage Still Has Many Gaps AT&T Coverage – Palo Alto, October 2010

  7. Multiple Radio Strategies Required • Lower cell site densities mitigate radio spectrum efficiencies. • Increased number of antennas, sectors. • Fewer subscribers per sector. • Smaller sector sizes. • Improve coverage & Capacities Macrocell Coverage Microcell Coverage Macrocells, Microcells, Picocells, Femtocells

  8. Massive Antenna Expansion Required for 3G and 4G • An Order of Magnitude Increase Needed • Increase capacity & coverage • Reduce number of subscribers per sector • Fill in coverage gaps • Macrocell expansion alone is not practical • Costly • Energy hungry • Unsightly: Not In My Backyard New Radio Access Strategies are Required

  9. Enter Next Generation Compact Radio Heads:Enabling Distributed Base Stations • Disruptive Radio Access Networks • Centralized Baseband Units • Virtualized Radio Networks • Reduced Cost & Complexity • Fiber to the Antenna Evolution • Significant new backhaul market opportunity • Hundreds of Thousands of Remote Radio Heads predicted Source: Alcatel-Lucent Number of Remote Radio Heads Set to Explode Source: JDSU Internal Analysis, ABI Research, Mobile Experts Distributed Requires: Low Latency, Multiprotocol, Reliable Connectivity

  10. Deployment Scenarios

  11. Rapidly Evolving Radio Access Networks Radio Head Macrocell IP/Ethernet Mobile Backhaul Baseband Unit Mobile Switching Center Mix of backhaul methods: Copper, Microwave, Fiber Microcell Picocell Compact Base Stations Base Station RF over Fiber “Fronthaul” Distributed Baseband Unit Compact Radio Heads

  12. Traditional Mobile Base Station Deployment • A mobile Base Station consists of two functional elements • REC: Radio Equipment Controller; aka the BBU: Base Band Unit. • RE: Radio Equipment; aka the RRU: Radio Remote Unit or RRH: Remote Radio Head • Traditional base station deployment had RRH and BBU co-located • Large equipment footprint, high power consumption and high deployment costs. • Coaxial cable connected the base station to the antennas at the top of the tower. • 2G networks: The base station is called the BTS, • 3G networks: The base station is called NodeB. • 4G networks : The base station is called eNodeB. Lower Cost, Simpler Deployment Options Were Needed

  13. The Base Station Evolution • Physical separation of the BBU and RRU • Allows the RRH to be located next to the antennas in Remote Radio Head End (RRH) enclosures. • Allows BBU to be optimized for size, power and more conveniently located. • The Start of Fiber to the Antenna • Fiber replaces coax • Lower loss, better performance. • Easier to install FTTA 1.0: Fiber Up the Tower

  14. Remote Radio Head / FTTantenna This is what they’re doing with the fiber 100m in the air Enclosure RRU Jumper Fiber to the Antenna, 100m up Antenna Trunk 12 or 24 fibers up 2 fibers / RRH = 6 fibers used Fully connected FTTA This is a very different environment for construction and maintenance Bring a hard-hat and some cigarettes Where is your fiber backhaul?? Then they jumper to the RRH

  15. LightRadio Creates Unique Realities • A lot more fiber deployed. • More points of failure. • More protocols to test. • More points to monitor. • More connections to terminate. • Aerial and microtenched fiber. • Analog and Digital RF (e.g. CPRI). • New backhaul service revenue. Installation, Troubleshooting, and Service Assurance Solutions Required
