MOTIVATIONS FOR A VIRTUAL CPE FOR RESIDENTIAL SERVICES Fixed broadband networks are undergoing a major challenge - Access speeds continue to go up, while the relative ARPU in service providers is going down - OTT players capture service revenues over the access networks of fixed access services providers As a result access service providers are looking how they can increase revenues and potentially lower CAPEX and OPEX The Virtual CPE concept targets a solution in the fixed broadband market, which allows introducing, services in a more agile way and as such increase the ARPU 26
RESIDENTIAL SERVICES VIRTUAL CPE BRINGS NEW SERVICE MODELS vcpe platform can host different classes of addedvalue services - Managed home IT services - Cyber Security (intrusion detection protection, parental control) - Home storage and backup services - Protocol interworking functions: e.g. DLNA proxy for Cloud DVR - Home network diagnostics and statistics collection tools - Services for new smart-home technologies / protocols / applications - Unique home sensor gateway, for multiple home network technologies - Home security, surveillance, E-health Where these services are located is flexible - can be located on the vcpe or in the datacenter 27
