Cost Analysis of RBOCs' Advanced Access Architectures: FTTP, FTTN, FTTC
|
Cost Analysis of RBOCs' Advanced Access Architectures: FTTP, FTTN, FTTC published by IGI Consulting, Inc. in October, 2008. This report price starts from US $ 1995.
Abstract
Overview
Approaches to AAAs
There are three predominant Advanced Access Architectures in use by the
telcos, and those used by the cable companies are generally similar, only
having coax on the last leg. These are the AT&T approach of fiber-to-the-node
(FTTN); the Verizon approach of fiber-to-the-premise (FTTP or FTTH): and the
BellSouth (now AT&T) approach of fiber-to-the-curb.
This Report
This report will present a model for evaluating the various approaches to
AAAs, primarily by analyzing the fiber required for each. This model will also
provide a methodology for evaluating moving from one architecture to another
(e.g., converting from FTTN to FTTP). This section will also present this
author' s forecast for what AT&T will do in the former BellSouth areas. The
report will also investigate macro methods to investigate the costs of the
various approaches. We will conclude with our forecasts for the total costs
involved in the AAA efforts of the RBOCs.
