What’s Happening in Fiber-to-the-Home? Copyright ? 1996 Bellcore All Rights Reserved Paul W. Shumate Executive Director - Broadband Local Access Premises Networks (201) 829-4600 pws@ CLEO’97, May 21, 1997 Why Fiber-to-the-Home? All the usual physical benefits of fiber A future-proof network (e.g. ??upgrades) No EMC issues No outside-plant actives ;; highest reliability No electrical powering Immune to lightning, other transients Lowest powering costs Lowest operations costs Maintenance, provisioning, and facilities planning Why Not FTTH? Issues of the Late 1980s - Have Things Changed? Too expensive Incompatible with analog TVs Bit rates for digital video too high Any demand for other digital services? Lifeline powering No product standardization Key Changes System cost down by 3X to 4X PONs Loop lasers $ / 10 Fiber and other components (e.g., VLSI) Digital video $ / 10 Cost savings large Established demand for digital services Regulatory and competitive environment International “standards” on fast track Recent News on FTTH “By 2000, fiber all the way to the home will be used to replace local loop routinely.” D. Dorman, CEO Pacific Bell, January 1997. “FTTH is already cost-competitive with many newbuild HFC scenarios It is likely that FTTH will be cost-competitive with the average, as well as the high-end versions, of HFC sometime next year.” E. Langenberg, Consultant, May 1997.
