Why a network?
Customers don’t buy networks

Access Network
Edge of the network
Enable delivery of services for specific markets
Enable the connection of telecommunication
services with subscribers
9. Original PSTN
(Public Switched Telephone Network)
Unshielded
Twisted Pair
(local loop)
• Manual switching directly connected two local loops
• Due to microphone technology, audio Bandwidth was 4 kHz
• PSTN is the network
• POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service ) is the service

Unshielded
Twisted Pair

10. Data support via voice-grade modems
• To send data, it is converted into 4 kHz audio (modem)
• Data rate is determined by Shannon's capacity theorem (there is a maximum data rate (bps)
called the "capacity”, that can be reliably sent through the communications channel. The
capacity depends on the Bandwidth and SNR (Signal to Noise Ratio)

11. Digital Local Loop Technologies
ISDN (Integrated Services Digital Network )
Voice and Data
Longer distance
DSL (Digital Subscriber Line)
Higher speed
Several variants (ex:- ADSL)
Different encoding technologies -> different data
transmission rates

The ultimate capacity of a FTTH network exceeds all other transmission media.

22. Architectures
PON (Passive Optical Network)
Shares fiber optic strands for a portion of the networks distribution
Uses optical splitters to separate and aggregate the signal
Power required only at the ends
Active Node
Subscribers have a dedicated fiber optic strand
Many use active (powered) nodes to manage signal distribution
Hybrid PON
Literal combination of an Active Node and a PON architecture
