Talk title: Next Generation Optical Access Seamless Evolution
Abstract: The European Commission seventh Framework Programme supports the next generation Optical Access Seamless Evolution (OASE), a project started this year and developing migration path and technology from today's access to feed needs of broadband society in 2020.
From technical point of view there are following challenges:
- A recommendation, how to construct fibre cable from Central Office into living room that is accepted by municipalities, landlords and occupants.
- A technology, that would be standardized at least for Europe and provide more than one Gigabit throughput for thousands of subscribers with 500MBit/s sustainable rate per subscriber.
- A path, considering integration of existing broadband access like EuroDocsis3.0, Long Term Evolution (LTE) enhanced mobile technologies and Local Area Networks in buildings (Cat.5e or similar cabling).
- An interworking guideline, that regulates infrastructure sharing on different layers like services, bit-pipes (Layer 2 and Layer 3), lambda and dark fibre between different stakeholders.
The following presentation gives an insight into first results of OASE project with an outlook towards realistic future services, ordinary in Year 2020 society. Based on latest technologies in optical semiconductors on shared media, tuneable receivers and transmitters could be a valid option beside Point-to-Point direct fibre with low cost active and passive network elements. Universal in-house and outside-plant network elements could provide a migration path of existing technologies towards fibre based access.
Finally the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) must be considered for all stakeholders including also the subscriber.
