USER


Who am I?Problem setting

• What I want to offer from now?- Narrowband services (incumbent vs. new-comer)

- Mobile services

- Broadband services

- Business/residential

• Where I want to deploy the network?- Infrastructure/frequency availability, customer distribution

- Regulatory environment

- Telecommunication service development in the selected area

• What is the expected evolution?- Service and penetration target


Selection criteria

• Existing infrastructure

• Functionalities and performance

- service type and characteristics

• Cost

- Initial investment, operation and maintenance

• Maturity, standardization and OAM aspects

• Evolutionary capability

- bandwith, service and user scalability

Access network architectures, systems and technologies

• Wiring the world: target and interim solutions- architectures and systems for wireline delivery

- results from P614 Deliverable 2 and 6

• Going wireless: broadband architectures and systems- architectures and systems for wireless delivery

- results from P614 Deliverable 4

• The role of technology: from the device to the outside plant installation practice- components, outside plant, new technologies



The user point of viewGuest contributions from other EURESCOM Projects

• What makes multimedia services usable and acceptable- results from EURESCOM Jupiter Project

• Local information infrastructure to support Community communications networks- results from EURESCOM P801 Project

• The broadband home network- has been extensively discuss during the two days

before!

- results available from P614 Deliverable 11


A different point of view: vision for the future access network

• Will bandwidth demand ever justify FTTH?- Yes, it will justify a low cost FTTH focused implementation!

• FTTH as a consumer products- results from P614 Deliverable 8, 12, 13 and 14


The economics of access network evolution

• Techno-economic of broadband radio access- an early study on economic viability of the wireless

option

- results from P614 Deliverable 10

• Broadband upgrade economics: evolutionary paths and area specific investments- a comprehensive study on economics of broadband

upgrade, and its implementation in specific environments



Also available ...

• Analysis on the relative benefits of Service Node Interface standards- results from P614 Deliverable 1

• Survey of standardization activities- results from P614 Deliverable 9


Round table discussion

• Q&A session on the access network evolution

• All the speakers available

• Chair: Kevin Fogarty, EURESCOM Deputy Director


Reflections on“The full service operator”

• Competitive pressure requires careful investment but ...

• a flexible platforms is highly desirable!

• Long distance process- infrastructure deployment vs. rental

• FTTx provides today the most flexible and cost effective full service platform
