FTTx: The Many Roads to Last Mile Fiber
Jason Marcheck
Principal Analyst, Optical Infrastructure
March 29, 2006
The anticipation of RBOC contract awards has interest in GPONs at a fever pitch. Yet, the Fiber-to-the-Premise market has many layers beyond PONs. In this telebriefing, Jason Marcheck, Principal Analyst - Optical Infrastructure at Current Analysis, examines not only the drivers of interest in GPONs, but also highlights the different roads to FTTP.
As IPTV, Video-on-Demand, and a host of emerging broadband applications take root in homes and businesses at varying pace, a one size fits all solution will not suffice. This telebriefing examines key questions to help make sense of today's market and understand where it is heading tomorrow. Marcheck answers questions such as:
- How many flavors of PONs exist; what is the state of the art; what can we expect tomorrow?
- How do active Ethernet systems differ from passive optical networks?
- What role will MSPPs play in FTTP roll-outs?
- How do the various vendor solutions stack up?
- What questions are top of mind for service providers?
