3 Decades of “Fiber-To-The-Home”
            Looking back,
        Where should we go?


                Greg Evans
        FlashPoint Technology, Inc.
      Wednesday September 6th, 2006
Year: 1987
Why do we need Fiber To The Home?
    “The Telcos are the fiber cable customer.”
    “The long haul transport fiber market is
    saturated.”
    “We need to develop a residential fiber
    market.”
Year: 1988                               Plain
                                         Old
Why not Fiber To The Home?               Telephone
                                         Service
      Reliability must be 99.997%
      Cost must be lower than POTS
      Regulatory issues POTS vs. CATV
      Power for lifeline POTS services
                                         CAble
                                         TeleVision

      PON Architecture for FTTC & FTTH (POTS & Video)


            1.1 Gb/s Downstream (8.0 Mb/s Upstream)
            32 Voice Circuits (POTS)
            24 SDV Channel Slots (45 Mb/s each)

                     Passive Optical Network
Year: 1989
Why Passive Optical Network (PON)?
       Fewer Lasers
       No active components in plant


      Lower deployment & maintenance costs
      Better overall reliability
Year:      1990   Major Telco FTTx POTS Trial
           1991   SDV added to Trial (64 ch)
Switched
Digital
Video
           1993   Company IPO $18/sh -> $52/sh
           1995   VDT Deployed in NJ (385 ch)
  Video
  Dial
  Tone
           1999   Company abandons FTTx
           2001   Company liquidates
Year: 1994 - 1998             Asymmetric
                                Digital
  What went wrong      ?        Subscriber
                                Line

            ADSL emerged
User
Generated   Video content did not emerge
Content
            Internet – UGC did emerge

  Fiber bandwidth no longer needed
Year: 1998 - 2003
        Rise and fall of the “dot.com”
        Rise and fall of Telco broadband optimism

For North America:

   Cable broadband became “king”
   DSL took a second seat
   Still no FTTH “killer app”
Year: 2005
                                                                         Subscribers1
                                                             Broadband           FTTH

1   RHK, Corning, Point Topic, Render Vanderslice (October 2005)
2   Asian statistics exclude Russia and the Middle East
3   Primarily DSL (Asia, Australia, Europe, Caribbean, & Latin America
4   Primarily Cable Modem with DSL for new adds (North America)
Year: 2006
   What is different now?
          Economics is driving FTTH
            not technology.
Video     Maybe the “killer app” has arrived

A challenge to the Research Community
       Don’t think how are we going to make
       FTTH happen.
       Think, what are we going to do after
       FTTH happens!!!
What are the enabling technologies?
    Fiber Capacity
    IP over WDM
    Lambda Switching
    Control Planes
    IPv6 -> Lambda Addressing
The key FTTH research question
       for 1987, today, & tomorrow ...


     Evolution or Revolution?
 What is the PON of the Future?

3 Decades of FTTH

  • 1. HO05 Ethernet Passive Optical Networks 3 Decades of “Fiber-To-The-Home” Looking back, Where should we go? Greg Evans FlashPoint Technology, Inc. Wednesday September 6th, 2006
  • 2. Year: 1987 Why do we need Fiber To The Home? “The Telcos are the fiber cable customer.” “The long haul transport fiber market is saturated.” “We need to develop a residential fiber market.”
  • 3. Year: 1988 Plain Old Why not Fiber To The Home? Telephone Service Reliability must be 99.997% Cost must be lower than POTS Regulatory issues POTS vs. CATV Power for lifeline POTS services CAble TeleVision
  • 5. Year: 1989 PON Architecture for FTTC & FTTH (POTS & Video) 1.1 Gb/s Downstream (8.0 Mb/s Upstream) 32 Voice Circuits (POTS) 24 SDV Channel Slots (45 Mb/s each) Switched Digital ONU Video UTP 1-4 Voice SMF Pair Coax 180 Mb/s ... OLT 1x8 Splitter SMF Pair ONU UTP 1-4 Voice Central Office SMF Pair Coax 180 Mb/s Passive Optical Network
  • 6. Year: 1989 Why Passive Optical Network (PON)? Fewer Lasers No active components in plant Lower deployment & maintenance costs Better overall reliability
  • 7. Year: 1990 Major Telco FTTx POTS Trial 1991 SDV added to Trial (64 ch) Switched Digital Video 1993 Company IPO $18/sh -> $52/sh 1995 VDT Deployed in NJ (385 ch) Video Dial Tone 1999 Company abandons FTTx 2001 Company liquidates
  • 8. Year: 1994 - 1998 Asymmetric Digital What went wrong ? Subscriber Line ADSL emerged User Generated Video content did not emerge Content Internet – UGC did emerge Fiber bandwidth no longer needed
  • 9. Year: 1998 - 2003 Rise and fall of the “dot.com” Rise and fall of Telco broadband optimism For North America: Cable broadband became “king” DSL took a second seat Still no FTTH “killer app”
  • 10. Year: 2005 Subscribers1 Broadband FTTH Asia2 & Australia3 83.0M 4.6M Europe3 56.5M 680k North America4 50.2M 540k Caribbean & Latin America3 5.6M trials only 1 RHK, Corning, Point Topic, Render Vanderslice (October 2005) 2 Asian statistics exclude Russia and the Middle East 3 Primarily DSL (Asia, Australia, Europe, Caribbean, & Latin America 4 Primarily Cable Modem with DSL for new adds (North America)
  • 11. Year: 2006 What is different now? Economics is driving FTTH not technology. Video Maybe the “killer app” has arrived Voice Data Triple Play (Convergence)
  • 12. FTTH Worldwide Forecasts1 Year 2005 ~6M Year 2007 ~13M Year 2009 ~23M Year 2011 ~64M Country2 Subscribers Penetration Architecture Japan 31.3M 62.6% EPON China 12.0M 3.3% EPON United States 10.3M 9.1% GPON/BPON South Korea 7.6M 40.0% EPON Taiwan 3.2M 46.4% EPON 1 Corning, In-Stat, Point Topic, Gartner 2 FTTH Worldwide Market & Technology Forecast, 2006-2011: http://img.lightreading.com/heavyreading/pdf/hr20060616_fig1_full.gif
  • 13. Looking Back at 3 Decades of Progress 6 Million Subscribers Max Downstream (Mb/s) 1200 1250 2500 1250 Max Upstream (Mb/s) 8 622 2500 1250 Max PON splits (#) 8 32 64 16
  • 14. 2005 2010 2015 Economics Technology A challenge to the Research Community Don’t think how are we going to make FTTH happen. Think, what are we going to do after FTTH happens!!!
  • 15. What are the enabling technologies? Fiber Capacity IP over WDM Lambda Switching Control Planes IPv6 -> Lambda Addressing
  • 16. The key FTTH research question for 1987, today, & tomorrow ... Evolution or Revolution? What is the PON of the Future?
