Access is the limitation • Given the limitation of the traditional C.O. switches (64k per line), current access infrastructure cannot be the the right basis for the Internet economy services • “Now that Telecom Italia is fully privatized our main goal is to freeze all the investment in traditional Access Technology (POTS, ISDN and Leased Line) moving investments toward Broadband solutions” [Oscar Cicchetti – CTO Telecom Italia] POTS Local Exchange BRI PRI 64k E1 X.21/V.35
Broadband Access Technologies • Satellite – Expensive • efficient in remote areas • Coax – • Cable operators exploiting infrastructure • Copper – • ISDN/xDSL, Maximum utilization of existing infrastructure • Fiber – • FTTCab FTTCurb FTTB FTTH • Electric Power Lines – • Higher coverage and scalability than PSTN, however complex technology • Terrestrial Wireless BWLL – • Both through packet based systems (Wireless Ethernet point to Multipoint) or through MMDS/LMDS

Problems with the Current Access Solutions • Traditional TDM access technologies are very expensive to add additional services • Service providers are overlapping legacy and broadband access technologies • No true integration of services into a single subscriber access line yet • Multiple bills from the same service provider • Infrastructure product are all provided from different vendor • Scaling and installing subscriber services to the masses has been very difficult • Not all access technologies will support broadband value added services • High risk on Investment Protection, Carriers will only deploy Next Generation DLC RSU, if they are confident that it will be a Node in their NG Packet Infrastructure.

Broadband Access - Syrian Network • Fiber Optic to Several Organizations and Large Enterprises • SDH based Nodes allowing transmission of NxE1s or E3s. • Limited use of HDSL as part of TDM/FR Digital Leased Line Network, Serving SMEs • Using standalone 1 pair and 2 pairs modems to deliver low speed LL • ATM based ADSL/SHDSL DSLAMs as part of Internet backbone • for high speed Internet and Leased Lines, is under installation (about 5000 ports, expandable to 20,000) • WLL evaluation/tendering • About 80,000 ISDN BRI ports
Customer Premises IAD / Home GW Curbside MDU/MTU Outdoor Cabinets RSU/DLC DSLAM CO Indoor Cabinets DLC/ DSLAM CO/POP Service Enforcement / Gateways Broadband Access - Limitations • Access Network current architecture is not BB friendly • In Large Cities typical wire center/office area ranges between 3-5 KMs, • However smaller towns and rural areas tend to have longer loops #8 KMs. • Most wire Centers has Switches, not much use of DLC/RSU concept. • No Outdoor Cabinets, minor fiber penetration to Local Loop (neither feeder cable/distribution cable) • Designed toward Single Service per line (voice mainly) • Large Cities where majority of target BB users, suffer shortages of copper loop • Outside plant is not evaluated for outdoor/indoor Cabinets use • Copper quality targets Analog voice delivery, few digital testing take place • Copper qualifications for Multiple Services and Digital transmission • Many segments has old copper cables and requires replacement,
The Way Forward • Use current plans for DLC/RSU introduction • Target Narrowband and Broadband Services • Ensure that DLCs/RSUs will form part of STE Packet Network • Extend fiber in primary network • Design DLC/RSU areas targeting BB (short secondary loops) • Different Access Solutions to suit different areas • Follow current demography of each access area • Flexibility, Design for Service evolution and changes in demography and customer demands (voice vs. data) • Target Penetration and Scalable platforms • Investment protection for future service Introduction
Service Definition To maximize revenues and customer base, design Multi-Service packages • Voice Data or Video packages? • Circuit-switched or packet-switched? • Symmetric or asymmetric? • Mass market or niche? • Coverage and Market Segmentation?
Possible Service Evolution • Target Public Voice and Data • Meet delayed Voice demands, overcome copper shortage (minimize investment in copper through pushing fiber in Access Network) • Flexible Service Evolution to meet demands for higher BW and potential future services • Access Nodes to provide POTS/ISDN Lines (directly in Curb/Cabinet or Inband VOP) • Access Nodes to provide ADSL / SHDSL for Internet Access and Leased Lines • Migrate to support Video and BW consuming Interactive Services
