Blown Fiber Solutions for Greenfield and Brownfield FTTx
Presented by Ericsson
Why Attend
By participating in this Webinar, network operators will gain an understanding of how new, innovative blown fiber techniques can help reduce the dominant cost component of deep fiber access deployments, a key investment for the delivery of bandwidth-intensive, video-centric services to media-savvy consumers in The Networked Society.
What’s the importance of a well-thought-out FTTx strategy to network operators?
Consider these statistics from Ericsson ConsumerLab, where research shows that people are watching more video content on devices such as smartphones and tablets – but 93 percent of them still watch broadcast TV from home.
Or by 2015, there will be more HD than standard definition content, and 90 percent of internet traffic will be video.
The fact is, video is a mega trend in The Networked Society, where everything that can benefit from a connection will have one. Operators can shape this new reality, but they have to have the video-centric converged access network in place to do it. Regardless of whether the delivery network is fixed or mobile, fiber needs to be built out closer and closer to the end-user.
So let’s get to work. The dominant cost component for building broadband networks is the civil engineering – the hard work of trenching, placing, splicing and connecting fiber.
During this Webinar, we’ll look at blown fiber solutions for fiber-to-the-premises networks, and the business cases for air-blown fiber in greenfield and brownfield scenarios.
While the business case for blown fiber in greenfield deployments is obvious, it becomes more complex for a brownfield or overbuild project. We’ll provide insights and total value of ownership examples that may make the decision more straightforward.
