1 Fiber in the backhaul : Powering mobile Broadband Gamal Hegazi / Lead Architect Founding Board member

2 FTTH Council Members and Mission MENA council members are from the main FTTH industry players of the region including Vendors, National and Private Networks, Governments, Service operators, Utilities. Around 40 members since The mission is to build an ecosystem and stimulate the FTTH market forward

3 Wireless INDUSTRY TRENDS: A FAST-GROWING INDUSTRY FIXED BROADBAND CONNECTIONS +30% 532 Million 691 Million MOBILE CONNECTIONS 5.5 Billion WI-FI PUBLIC SPOTS 7.3 Billion +32% +346% 1.3 Million 5.8 Million +990% 1.1 Billion M2M DEVICES 12 Billion APPLICATION DOWNLOADS 18.2 Billion 41.7 Billion SMARTPHONE SALES 428 Million 1 Billion PUBLIC CLOUD REVENUE +129% +134% +98% 89.4 Billion 177 Billion MOBILE VIDEO CONSUMPTION +879% 429 Million 4.2 Billion HOW DOES THIS AFFECT SERVICE PROVIDERS?

4 THE NET EFFECT: Future Traffic estimate by Mobile Access 800,000 TOTAL DAILY TRAFFIC BY YEAR (TB) 600,000 45X - 85X GROWTH Wi-Fi home Bell Labs Modeling 400,000 CAGR ,000 Metro cell (Wi-Fi) Metro cell (3G/LTE) Smart offload 24% 30% 13% 54% Macro 34% MASSIVE GROWTH IN DEMAND REQUIRES NEW STRATEGY

5 Fiber in the Access will serve Heterogonous Network coverage 3G/4G MACRO HOME SMALL CELL WI-FI DISTRIBUTED ANTENNA 3G/4G MACRO ENTERPRISE SMALL CELL METRO CELL WIFI HOTSPOTS ENTERPRISE SMALL CELL DELIVER UBIQUITOUS QoE EVEN IN THE TOUGHEST URBAN ENVIRONMENTS

6 The TDM perspective: Mobile Backhauling Target: Decouple Costs from Capacity Cost model linear with network capacity requirements Traffic Cost; The Packet perspective: Cost modelling linear with end-users capacity/qos requirements (operator s revenues) Traffic Voice Era Revenues Voice Era a) Service Classification b) Service Aware Aggregation and Transport c) Leverage the install base. No investement duplication Revenues Data Era Cost Source: Unstrung Data Era Source: Alcatel-Lucent a) Classifying Services reduced the need for transport resources b) Service aware transport increases Active users: more Revenue at no additional Cost c) Leveraging the install base transforming the network packet avoiding double investment

7 What is driving the change? Conclusion : The game has changed Mobile backhaul Wireless packet core Explosive demand for new services and applications the traffic mix is changing new 4G networking architectures existing model is not sustainable IP and Ethernet begin to dominate and Fiber in Access will reign Mobile Backhaul is key component to subscriber quality of experience (QoE) It can differentiate one service provider from another

8 Data Rate (Mb/s) Mobile Broadband Access & Capacity Hungry Services Radio sector capacity 50 Mbps GLTE 3GLTE (MIMO,64 QAM) WiMAX HSDPA UMTS R99 MobileTriple Play Mobile HSI reach (km) (Basis: Frequency Band in the 2GHz range, using 10Mhz) Service HDTV Broadcast TV High speed Internet Low speed internet Person to person video VoIP SMS Delay budget Low Low High High Low Low High

9 Compelling factors for backhauling network evolution Capacity: broadband access Technology: IP base stations End-user experience: QoS Business: total cost of ownership Compelling events for backhaul network evolution Fiber/Ethernet/IP transformation of transport network

10 Addressing Operator challenges with Ethernet/IP/Fiber transformation Solution to Operators Challenges Transition to new generation network needs to overcome a number of challenges to take full advantage of packet backhauling OPEX Cost Reductions Need simple migration factory to move existing circuits to the renovated network and their Business Impact Ability to go for a gradual transition (IP transformation can t happen overnight! ) Secure full interoperability of new network elements with existing architecture and other providers networks, including not cellular Secure end-users QoS satisfaction Enhanced revenue generation capabilities Cost effective evolution from current network Avoid existing mobile services disruption Get CAPEX and OPEX advantages from day one Simplify operations Acquire new technology knowledge Adopt Fiber as backhaul technology

11 FTTH improves the Business Case Leverage Residential Infrastructure to Deliver Mobile Backhaul with Flexible Last Mile Access Options Benefits: Opportunity to leverage Fiber for Mobile backhaul High capacity backhaul at lower cost than traditional services Superior QoS to ensure delay and jitter requirements exceeded Solution to provide the clock reference to base stations for its synchronisation

12 FTTH Mobile Backhaul Transport Architecture Supports E1 (via CES pseudowire) and Ethernet interfaces All backhauled voice and data services over converged IP/Ethernet network. Cell site Central Office MTSO E1, Eth GPON-fed cell site gateway FTTH OLT IP/ Ethernet Network RNC/BSC Gateway RNC BSC Triple-play-served home ONT B-ONT FTTBusiness (Ethernet, E1, POTS) Optical fiber is the ultimate backhaul medium from a bandwidth and reliability perspective Of the fiber-based solutions, PON is the most cost-effective, having already hit the cost points for residential broadband

13 FTTH SCALABLE SOLUTION CAPEX OPEX FLEXI BILIT Y FUTU RE PR OO F Passive network Networks are not homogeneous Technology and business models are changing Incremental cost per home Don t lock into technology or deployment type Design your network so that you can change it easily CO consolidation To reach everybody you will need flexibility LOOK AT THE BIG PICTURE
