Global FTTH Market Drivers50M in 2012 to 400M homes by 2025
Video Cloud - Tele - work, medicine, chat, security, conferencing, commerce.• Drives Bandwidth, will continue growing 30-40%/yr (Cisco)• Inherently GREEN by reducing travel• BIG Screens need BIG Bandwidth –
– Coming soon: 2160p will require 50 Mbps per channel

Need for Speed Driving Fibre to Each Living UnitMore cost effective than FTTB for Most Installations
Attribute Fibre to the Building with MDU ONU
Fibre to Each Living UnitDesktop ONT
First Cost Higher – expensive multiport ONU must be deployed day one.
Lower – low cost ONT and drop fibre deployed on success basis to each new subscriber
Building cabling cost
Variable/unpredictable – depends on existing copper wiring condition, expensive remediation may be required
Predictable and dropping through new Fibre in the MDU technologies
New Subscriber connection cost
Lower – leverage existing ONU Higher – but success based and supported by revenue
Future readiness Lower – limited by copper cabling bandwidth
Best – enabled by Fibre bandwidth to each subscriber
Overall businesscase
Limited - may be attractive if Fibre in the building not permitted, or for very high initial take rates
Best in most cases – why Verizon deploys Fibre to each living unit for >90% of their 4M unit MDU build

MDU Buildings Come in Different Shapes and SizesHigh Rises, Low Rises, Garden Style…..
…. and in each residence , MDUs share a common challenge
– how to reach the ONT?
FTTH Conference Europe Feb 15, 2012- Munich JEG Slide 8
Fibre in the MDU and HomeService Provider Goals
Accepted Helps increase take rate Low visibility to customer Fast installation, minimal
disruption to the customer
Cost Effective Low Installed cost Fast, Low Skill installation
Reliable Service Optical and Mechanical Reliability Multiple upgrades and services over >20 yr life.

Fibre to the Desktop ONT – Inside the Wall for New Construction 2mm – 3mm cord in Microduct - US
Attribute 2mm – 3mm cord in Microduct Acceptance High for new homes with conduit installed during construction- invisible
and behind the wall.
Installed Cost Medium for new homes – cost of conduit, cordage, and field termination labor/tools must be considered.High for existing – added labor and of placing conduit behind walls
