Notes de l'éditeur
- We are Michael and Michael. I represent Sckipio – who’s the leader in G.fast. We make chips that go into DPUs and RGs. We are a 3 year old company – headquartered in Israel. We’ve raised $27 million to date and have 35 employees. Actiontec is a leading residential CPE vendor. We provide gateways to many of the top service providers in North America. The reason we are together is Actiontec leverages technology from companies like Sckipio to build our solutions.
- We are going to cover 6 key areas in the next 60 mins. We’ll take around 45 min on our part – but leave about 15 min for you to ask us questions
- First, what’s G.fast?
- The big idea is how do we effectively compete with cable without breaking the bank and going all the way to the home with fiber? Can we leverage our existing infrastructure and create a hybrid fiber to copper solution that meets the needs of the coming decade?
- We all know that FTTH is expensive. Especially that last part. That’s what’s been both frustrating and uneconomical.
- The basic idea of G.fast is to pull the fiber deeper into the network, but do the last bit over copper. Instead of using a DSLAM that sits a kilometer from the home, G.fast uses a distribution point unit that sits a few hundred meters from the residence.
- A distribution point is a small box that runs much closer to the residence than a traditional DSLAM. Because this box is much closer to the consumer’s residences, these boxes reach a smaller number of subscribers. They typically serve around 16 subscribers. If a unit is placed in a location that lacks power – reverse power can be provided to the unit.
- The way it works is fiber will be brought to a distribution point – called a DPU – probably through an Optical Small Form Factor Pluggable called an SFP. Then, the DPU connect up to 16 subscribers over copper to a G.fast SFP that goes into an RG. That way, over time, you can upgrade easily from DSL to G.fast to GPON off the same RG.
- An SFP is a small device that is easily pluggable into a device. In this example, this is a GPON SFP. The entire ONT sits on this small pluggable module. The same is true for G.fast. The G.fast can be plugged into a residential gateway through this type of small connector.
- G.Fast uses a different management. It will be based on SDN principles and leverage OpenFlow and Netconf/Yang to improve the manageability of the overall G.fast network. This is a big breakthrough because Broadband Forums is mandating it bypass the OMCI stack completely
- So, what’s different about G.fast versus VDSL?
- Achieve up to 1 Gbps over existing copper infrastructure
- Consumers will be able to get better upstream and downstream data rates - this is perfect for today’s user-generated content lifestyle.
- Finally – there can be a viable MDU solution.
- No drilling, no trenching. No new wires for the last few hundred meters.
- One central difference is telcos don’t need to install new wiring. This eliminates trenching, installation fees, in-home visits, and more.
- G.Fast eliminates a lot of the time consuming and labor consuming bits of FTTH like right of way, trenching, in-home installs. This will improve the time to break even by as much as 10 years versus FTTH.
- G.Fast uses new mechanisms to make it far more reliable and deliver zero-touch maintenance.
- All of this elimination of labor will save up to three quarters of a trillion dollars globally
- So, what’s different about G.fast versus VDSL?
- G.Fast provides up to 106Mhz of bandwidth instead of 17mhz. Crosstalk is much higher at higher frequencies – so this is a big challenge to overcome G.Fast may utilize reverse power so it needs to have a low power footprint. By switching to TDD – you get several benefits: Much lower power – only runs when transmitting Allows for flexible up/downstream G.Fast is fast. It supports short symbol time, 10x faster than VDSL – which improves overall performance. Plus, it allows for fast retraining – less than 2 seconds compared to as much as minutes for VDSL.
- So why is everyone so excited?
- Consumers want bandwidth
- And I’d like you to image a future where bandwidth is no longer the bottleneck. What new applications can they get? Is it new cloud services, telemedicine, the internet of things, mobile performance, gaming. Who knows?
- Perhaps all they want is their netflix to stop bufffering. In any case, they want bandwidth
- If we give it to them, we will make the world a better place.
- From an industry perspective, we need a dragon slayer.
- In this 2014 MDU Study, they found that speed is a critical component to customer dissatisfaction with DSL. Notice – the reliability is essentially the same across providers but download and upload speeds see a 50% higher satisfaction with Cable on those attributes.
- Cable speeds are only going to go up with the introduction of DOCSIS 3.1
- So, how does G.fast perform?
- G.Fast does an amazing job. Across real-world binders in tier 1 telcos, G.fast is delivering throughput as high as 500Mbps for 200 meters. It is delivering as much as 150 Mbps at over 500 meters.
- I know you all want 1Gbps per seconds. But in order to get to 1Gbps, we will need to make some modifications. One way is to bond pairs together. This will achieve over 1Gbps of real-world throughput – and this will be available later this year. The second way will be to increases from 106Mhz all the way up to 212Mhz. This will take a few years of ITU discussion before it is approved.
- G.Fast offers a flexible ratio of upstream and downstream. Each DPU must have the same ratio – due to how vectoring works in G.fast. Therefore, when you market G.fast be sure to be aware of this.
- Most service providers are going to replace VDSL with G.fast – even with customers who aren’t going to upgrade the customer to a higher rate. They will simply upgrade the line and give the user a G.fast residential gateway. However, if a service provider wants to run both VDSL and G.fast over the same binders, the way to do it is to keep the VDSL at the lower frequencies (up to 17Mhz) and run the G.fast at over 20Mhz.
- Some companies are promoting VDSL fall-back Yet, VDSL fallback isn’t necessary. Think about it. Every consumer that wants VDSL already has it. You’ve already paid to deploy the VDSL at both ends. So, when you move to G.fast, it makes no sense to pay for VDSL again for the customers that already have VDSL. And you’d never deploy VDSL to a new consumer since G.fast is more reliable, easier to manage and the performance is upgradeable. Plus, combination chips that claim to support VDSL and G.fast cannot vector on both at the same time. They have to chose one technology or the other. In practice, they will always chose the G.fast to vector – since it requires vectoring to achieve reliable performance. If you really need to have vectoring at the DPU – the best way to do it is to instead a two-chip solution with vectored VDSL at the lower frequency and G.fast at the higher frequencies. Yet, I will tell you – virtually all the service providers who are deeply looking at this have concluded VDSL fall back doesn’t make economic sense.
- Now, let’s talk about deployments.
- There are many ways to deploy G.fast. G.fast works in MDU environments, single family homes, campuses, businesses, and hospitality. DPUs can be delivered that work in hand holes, on poles, in basements or cabinets on every floor. Some companies intend to install G.fast inside existing FFTC cabinets or even DSLAMs – if they are close enough.
- Obviously MDU is the biggest market and there are many approaches.
- There is no one sized MDU in North America. So there will be many deployment scenarios.
- In smaller buildings, a DPU will be put in the basement – typically backhauled through GPON and connecting in the closet to up to 16 residences. G.fast is not limited to 16 from a technical perspective. In fact, 24 ports is technically feasible now and many more ports will be feasible in the future.
- For larger buildings, the way it will work is fiber will be brought up the riser to each floor’s wiring cabinet. Then, each DPU will connect to 16 subscribers.
- In an outdoor environment, the DPU can be on a pole, in the sidewalk, on the side of the building – wherever, To power these boxes – reverse power feeding can deliver the required power from the consumer’s device – at a cost of less than $1 per year in power. Also, in areas where there’s a lot of row housing – you can split your fiber 1:2 and continue the fiber down the street to the next DPU. This will help economically get to you target coverage rates at a very low cost.
- You can even skip the fiber backhaul and use millimeter wave technology to backhaul the traffic to a central office or somewhere where fiber backhaul is present. This is particularly useful in areas where right of way is problematic.
- G.Fast will also work for single family units, too. You will need to look at your distances and your rate/reach to see the best services you can provide for the situation you find yourself in. Yet, even at 500 meters – you should be able to achieve 150Mbps of aggregated throughput. That’s a substantial bump over what’s feasible today.
- Next, let’s talk about the status of G.fast and when it will be ready.
- Fortunately, the G.fast standard is COMPLETE. In addition, the broadband forum is VERY ACTIVE in getting the industry to a commercialization phase. They have already hosted two semiconductor plugfests and have seen tremendous improvements and progress. In addition, they have also scheduled the first equipment plugfest for later this year. They are finalizing the systems-level issues and the management features. According to the ITU – this is the fastest any standard of its kind has been ratified.
- There is a lot of development work going on in G.fast to respond to many RFPs that have been issued (or are about to be issued). There are over 20 different solutions that will be available shortly in G.fast. On the DPU side – there are different approaches to port counts – although 16 port seems to be the most common. Different solutions will be available in terms of MDU versus outdoor. On the CPE side – the ultimate goal for most service providers is built-in G.fast inside the residential gateway. This will come in several flavors – from build in to enabled via an SFP. One likely scenario is those service provider who want to offer true 1Gbps will use a BONDED external bridge and connect via GigE to the residential gateway.
- There are many approaches to the backhauling – from GPON – which is most common to WDM – which has already been tested and proven out. In addition, if you are looking to deploy in an environment that supports reverse power feeding, this is also possible today. Companies such as Microsemi already have working and optimized G.fast reference designs and other companies also have reverse power solutions.
- So how big is the opportunity for G.fast?
- Now the dream for all of us is high speed broadband at affordable prices.
- Clearly, the opportunity is huge to migrate DSL customers to a higher level of service. To stop churn, win back some customers, gain share. All that good stuff is possible with G.fast.
- The cable industry is ripe for the picking. You simply need the speed to compete. That’s where G.fast comes in.
- Plus, we need to move quickly as the FCC may eliminate your ability to call DSL BROADBAND.
- There is a need for high speed – it’s not all ready today. But as pressure for Ultra HD grows – this will push our requirements up a ton. Plus, to avoid any net neutrality issues – you will need to run a lot of that as over the top and you will need the capacity to deliver it.
- G.Fast will get you competitive without breaking the bank.
- It will dramatically lower your support costs and everything will be manageable remotely.
- With affordable DPU designs and low deployment costs, the break even against the take rate is vastly improved.
- The time is now to take back the market from the cable providers and deliver unparalleled performance to your customers.
