Overview

FTTx ignites a technology shift from the existing copper cabling systems to fiber,

which provides almost unlimited transmission rates. Since fiber networking is a proven

broadband technology with virtually no limits, it can be expanded any time to meet

bandwidth demand of individual customers over the upcoming years. In this FTTx

solution guide, ZyXEL provides solutions for all possible forms of fiber infrastructure and

ways to leverage existing DSL deployments for the best synergy.

■

FTTx Creates Business Opportunities

FTTx operation in Next Generation Access (NGA) services will

increase ARPUs reliably by +30% above DSL (Yankee Group,

2008). Additionally, FTTx revenue is increasing thanks to the

cooperation with the entertainment industry where high-

quality online services and content are offered, while the

ultra-high bandwidth provided by FTTx also enables video

conferencing and unified communications services for both

commercial and residential users.

Driving Force of FTTx: High-definition IPTV is one of the key

drivers of FTTx, with which 2+ simultaneous HD streams for

multi-room IPTV services will become the major trend in

the upcoming years. Green environment issues are another

driving force because fiber deployment produces less CO2

than copper wires.
