WIRELINE BACKHAUL

DRIVERS AND CHALLENGES

Driven by triple-play service offerings, today’s capacity growth in the second mile is currently facing limitations at installed networks. As service providers seek to increase Average Revenues Per User (ARPU) they are struggling to accommodate the demand for higher downlink data rates with multicast functionalities combined with higher uplink data rates. This situation is compounded by the need to support Fiber-To-The-X (FTTX) rollouts while at the same time offseting their spending in the face of rising energy costs.

KEY APPLICATIONS

• WDM passive optical networks
• Converged broadband backhaul
  - DSLAM, FTTH / FTTB / FTTC, PON and HFC backhaul
• Convergence of residential, business and wholesale services on a single backhaul solution
• Central and local office reduction scenarios
• Extended reach access networks
