    This document provides an overview of Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH) networks with three key points: 1) It defines FTTH as a network where the optical network unit is on or within the customer's premises, and FTTH networks have a much greater upgrade capacity than other transmission media. 2) It reviews the technical aspects of FTTH including single and dual fiber systems, passive optical network and active node architectures. 3) It discusses the FTTH market in terms of retail networks that sell services directly and wholesale networks that sell capacity to multiple providers.

    What is FTTH?
    • “An OAN in which the ONU is on or within the customer’s premise.
    Although the first installed capacity of a FTTH network varies, the
    upgrade capacity of a FTTH network exceeds all other transmission
    media.”
    – OAN: Optical Access Network
    – ONU: Optical Network Unit
    – OLT: Optical Line Termination

    Why FTTH?
    • Enormous information carrying capacity
    • Easily upgradeable
    • Ease of installation
    • Allows fully symmetric services
    • Reduced operations and maintenance costs
    • Benefits of optical fiber:
    – Very long distances
    – Strong, flexible, and reliable
    – Allows small diameter and light weight cables
    – Secure
    – Immune to electromagnetic interference (EMI)

    Why FTTH? - symmetric services
    • Outbound Internet
    bursting to 80Mbps
    • Inbound Internet
    (download) averaging
    about 35-40Mbps
    • Upstream is
    consistently twice the
    download

    6
    Why FTTH? - fiber versus copper
    • A single copper pair is capable of carrying 6 phone calls
    • A single fiber pair is capable of carrying over 2.5 million
    simultaneous phone calls (64 channels at 2.5 Gb/s)
    • A fiber optic cable with the same information-carrying capacity
    (bandwidth) as a comparable copper cable is less than 1% of
    both the size and weight

    Single and Dual Fiber Systems
    • Dual Fiber
    – Various plans, usually one fiber will be used for downstream
    and one for upstream, or one will be used for broadcast and
    one for data. Sometimes one will be used for specialized
    services, such as returning RF-modulated data from set top
    terminals
    • Advantages
    – Simplifies terminal passive components
    – Somewhat lower signal loss

    8
    Architectures
    • Passive Optical Networks (PONs)
    – Shares fiber optic strands for a portion of the networks distribution
    – Uses optical splitters to separate and aggregate the signal
    – Power required only at the ends

    • Active Node
    – Subscribers have a dedicated fiber optic strand
    – Many use active (powered) nodes to manage signal distribution

    • Hybrid PONs
    – Literal combination of an Active and a PON architecture

    FTTH Networks / Market
    • Two types of FTTH networks exist today
    – Retail
    • Vast majority of FTTH builds today
    • Network owner sells services directly to subscribers
    • Follows traditional telecommunications and cable television
    models
    – Wholesale
    • Market created by a few state laws
    • Network owner sells capacity to multiple providers who in
    turn sells services to subscribers
    • Only examples in US today are some municipal FTTH
    networks
    13
    KPI’s
    • Data
    – How much per home?
    – How well can you share the channel?
    – Security – how do you protect the subscriber’s data?
    – What kind of QoS parameters do you specify?
    – Compatible business services?
    • SLAs
    • T1
    • Support for voice?
    • Support for video?
    – Broadcast
    – IPTV
