Summary:
The success of next-generation access networks is crucial for both operators and vendors. Operators face an increasing number of choices as technologies using existing copper networks are becoming more developed, fiber-to-the-x (FTTx) deployments continue to grow and cable players face decisions about whether they need to upgrade their DOCSIS 3.0 networks further. Our research provides analysis of the latest developments in the technology field, including the use of FTTx for mobile backhaul and industry verticals such as energy and healthcare.
Overview:
The world of next-generation access is changing as operators learn that getting consumers to pay more for superfast broadband is not so easy. But offering higher speeds still retains its importance as a way of locking in customers while launching new networks and technologies can be a way to compete successfully in a market. The more cost-effectively vendors can launch new technologies, the better it will be for operators. The sheer cost of rolling out FTTx networks is also having an effect in terms of the business models being adopted. Network sharing has potential for reducing rollout costs and sources of funding are available, but different kinds of investors, such as private equity groups, may seek to spend their money on more certain business cases than next-generation access.
To justify the cost of FTTx rollout operators and vendors continue to search for the Holy Grail of new applications for their networks. FTTx for mobile backhaul and applications for industry verticals are examined and the relationship between IPTV and fiber is also analyzed.
This report contains case studies looking at several operators’ next-generation access rollouts, particularly those operators using technologies to prolong the life of copper, and what the key factors have been in their success. There is also in-depth analysis of vendor movements in terms of new technologies such as vectoring and pair bonding. The report includes case studies on the different business models that operators have used to deploy their next-generation access networks.
