BANDWIDTH
Summary: Users' bandwidth grows by 50% per year (10% less than Moore's Law).
10yr CAGR = 57x
The new law fits data from 1983 to 2014.

CROSS TALK AT HIGH FREQUENCIES• Share binders – especially in MDU
• High frequencies make cross talk much worse
• Need vectoring

VDSL TRAINING ISSUES• Poor OLR
• Slow retraining – especially when vectoring
• Can lose critical services like VoIP
Apr 13, 2023Confidential | Sckipio 22
POOR CHOICE
• Short-lived and too limited

PROBLEM OF LAST 200 METERS
• Trenching on premises
• Installation scheduling
• Right of way issues
• Roll-out delays due to
capacity of installers
• Very expensive overall

G.FAST & FTTdp ARCHITECTURE
Apr 13, 2023Confidential | Sckipio 38
G.FAST BASICS• 1Gbps over copper wiring
• 2-106MHz of bandwidth
• Vectoring standard
• 250 meters or closer via distribution point
• Time division instead of frequency division
• Reverse powered
Apr 13, 2023Confidential | Sckipio 39
G.FAST IS MORE THAN SPEED• Significantly lower cost versus FTTH
• Customer self-install
• Faster roll-out (no customer visit coordination)
• Flexible use-cases (wireless & business applications)
• Flexible asymmetry ratio (up:down ratio)
• Coexistent with legacy xDSL
• Much more robust, fiber level quality over copper
• Better power management: Lower power, remote power feeding
• Optimized performance with vectoring
• Path to double performance (up to 200Mhz)

G.FAST MAKES BUSINESS SENSE
• G.fast cost saving >$650/customer*
• Zero touch maintenance
• Faster ROI & customer satisfaction

G.Fast Eliminates or Reduces
• Trenching time & labor costs• Stranded Capital: ONT/CPE• Powering equipment• In-home installs• Customer scheduling• MDU legal & rewiring issues• Large PON splitters• Deployment delays• Take rate issues
Benefits of G.Fast
* Recent analysis by TNO shows G.Fast is 1/3 cost of FTTH
