4. Session Abstract
• Come and learn how Erickson Living achieved deployment success using Cisco ME4600 GPON
Solution. Guest Presenter: Jay Romero, Sr.Director - IT Operations.
• Passive Optical Networks (PON) provides an effective and efficient way of providing fiber based
high speed access to residential and business users. With the ever-growing demand for higher
bandwidth, service providers are looking for fiber solutions that are cost-effective and easy to
deploy and manage.
• This session will provide an insight into PON technology, with a focus on Gigabit-Capable PON.
Attendees will learn basic design principles and applicable use cases for architecting a GPON
Network using the Cisco ME4600 OLT and ONT/ONU.
• The presentation will outline the requirements to configure and verify an end-to-end service over
ME4600 OLT. Redundancy mechanisms, such as Type B protection, in a GPON based
environment will also be covered.
• Attendees will walk away from this session with a firm understanding of the GPON technology, a
clear view of applicability of GPON vs point-to-point ethernet for various scenarios and reference
designs for an effective, fast and reliable GPON network using Cisco ME4600 series of OLT and
ONT products.

Fundamentals

6. Evolution of Ethernet-based FTTH solutions
• Higher speeds
• 10 Gigabit Ethernet technology (10GBase-BX) has moved to access in some cases
• Longer reach
• Disctances of 10km and higher with mass-market BX-optics
• Extended reach modules available at low premium makes up to 70km possible without
reach extender – coverage of rural areas, or for CO consolidation
• Higher packaging densities
• Compact-SFP (two independent transceivers in one SFP package) - first step in multi-
channel optics
• significant increase in number of subscriber terminations per rack – smaller footprint
• easier fiber management – from single-fiber to multi-fiber patch cable
• reduction in power consumption Passive Optical Network – PON is
tailor made for these requirements

7.  Ethernet

Erickson Living
Guest Speaker: Jay Romero
Sr. Director, Erickson Living

43. About Erickson Living
• For 30 years, Erickson Living has been committed to our nation’s seniors
• Today our business is comprised of 18 communities in 10 states
• Our focus is on senior living and a broad array of health care services
• We currently have 23,000 residents who call Erickson Living home
• Across our campuses we have more than 13,000 staff members who are
dedicated to helping people live better lives
• We manage more than 30,000,000 sq. ft. of residential and community building
space

44. Erickson Living Service Offerings
• Erickson provides:
• Integrated Senior Health and Wellness
• Medical center with full time geriatric physicians
• Assisted Living, Skilled Nursing, Memory Care, Ancillary Health Services
• Social workers
• General Services (facilities, grounds, transportation, housekeeping)
• Resident Life (pool, fitness center, countless clubs and activities)
• Dining (options to please any palate)
• Resident computer services
• Salon, Pharmacy, General Store

45. Erickson Challenges
• Increasing need for quality networking and IT services for staff and residents
• The need for ubiquitous wireless connectivity throughout the campus to
mobilize our staff and residents
• Ability to add additional services more timely and cost effectively to continue to
improve the resident experience

46. Current Landscape
• Wireless Internet
• Limited access available – provided in common areas and skilled nursing facility only
• The residents and staff have been asking for wireless for years
• New residents are seeing other facilities that already provide this service
• Adult children are coming to expect these services
• Phone Services
• New resident satisfaction is low in regard to phone service
• Transferring phone numbers between Independent Living and Continuing Care facility is
challenging
• Cellular service is inconsistent
• Complicated Infrastructure
• Multiple wired installations are cumbersome and some are over 20 years old
• Multiple systems with different technology requirements are hard to manage

47. Erickson Vision and Goals
• Provide a holistic experience that connects Residents to each other, their
communities, their families and to a set of services that enrich their lives
• Lay the foundation for connectivity for the Internet of Things
• Create competitive advantage by advancing the Digital Resident Strategy

48. Solution: Erickson Connect
• How is it different than what we already have?
• Today each system has its own ‘road’, meaning that for everything we put in place we need
to run cabling to support it.
• With Connect, we will have one ‘highway’ that will enable all of our current and future
services.
