Operators broadband strategy: light into and copper

Deployment of broadband speed engineering mobilization meeting like hit a needle cardiotonic operators and equipment manufacturers, operators have both broadband target in the future. "Construction of the optical network" as the overall objective of broadband project list. But in the actual implementation process, optical fiber access technology is not achieved overnight, operators need to "light" and "copper retreat" simultaneously.

"In the future must be a light into the copper retreat"

In the "broadband speed engineering deployment mobilization meeting" work letter department minister xi guohua also traces in the process of reading about some of his personal point of view. He noted that recent copper price has a little rise, compared with the optical fiber has much advantage, so local communication management department to report to the government departments clear advantage and importance of fiber author. Mr Xi emphasized: "the future network development must be light in copper."

Optical fiber by the national policy, the rapid development of broadband network operators development strategy, market and technology needs, and a variety of factors such as the requirements of network.    Operators to get advantage in the competition in the market, meet the needs of triple play, must be light in copper. Optical fiber broadband seems to be unshakeable broadband development.

For the construction of fiber optic thousand difficult resistance

However, optical broadband network construction is faced with a series of challenges. First is the inevitable as construction reform.    Although FTTH access bandwidth ability to provide the strongest, but due to the property and residents to optical fiber network awareness is not high, some users worry about wiring has influence to the interior decoration, often choose to continue to use the existing DSL service, FTTH port utilization rate is low. Secretary of the ministry MiaoWei also mentioned in many parts of the reform of the broadband network construction is still inter-departmental coordination, admission into the community, into the family as difficult problem, etc.

In the optical fiber applications in the construction of broadband network content pull. China unicom network construction, deputy general manager liu chao think although in hd video content is increased, but has not yet become a mainstream video format. ICP server also needs corresponding upgrade bandwidth resources and storage resources, users form habits also need time.

In addition, liu chao said the current optical fiber compound network lack of mandatory rules. The current housing is still based on the technology of copper communication lines form a complete set of construction specification, unable to meet the demand of construction of optical fiber access. "So that operators to adopt FTTH mode covering the appeal can not get the response of the developers."

"Light" and "copper retreat" simultaneously

Therefore, optical fiber broadband also need one step a footprint, in stages. "Although says FTTH is the ultimate goal, but do not always get in the short term." Liu chao said. It is reported that China unicom broadband network development strategy is to aim at FTTB/H, a city urban area as the key point, unified planning and step-by-step implementation, and FTTx technology as the leading factor, reasonable planning access node layout, advance and the construction of optical fiber access network. City both planned and systematic modification area according to the business development requirements, according to the existing cable inside the building flexible choice PON + LAN and PON + DSL mode, not blind pursuit of FTTH one pace reachs the designated position.

Huawei fiber infrastructure, President Wang De think also expressed the same idea. He thought of how to build a new village can be preferred for FTTH scheme of Middle East, VDSL2 as eastern five-year old village copper preferred project of changing speed and accelerated the ADSL2 + can be assumed to be based in the countryside of west China.

"So, want to be in a competitive edge in the market, meet the demand of triple play service, operators must back 'and' light into 'and' copper, realize from the traditional to the copper to based on PON technology of broadband optical fiber broadband network comprehensive upgrade." Liu chao concluded.
