FTTB: indicates fiber to the building. In this scenario, optical fibers are routed from a CO to access devices
that locate in buildings, such as in light-current wells or basements. Then, the access devices connect to
copper (xDSL) or Cat 5 (LAN) lines that are routed to user homes, implementing service access. FTTB
applies to business zones and residential areas with high population densities.

FTTC: indicates fiber to the curb. In this scenario, optical fibers are routed from a CO to access devices
that locate at fiber distribution terminals (FDTs) along the curb or in cable distribution compartments/FDTs in
residential areas. Then, the access devices connect to copper (xDSL) lines that are routed to user homes,
implementing service access. FTTC applies to areas with low population densities. 03

Copper lines are critical infrastructures for fixed network carriers. The construction of ultra-wideband
networks using innovative technologies on existing copper lines is being widely accepted by carriers.
Although copper lines have been in service for hundreds of years, the application of innovative
technologies, such as G.fast and NG-Fast, the copper lines will be able to provide higher and higher
bandwidths.
Huawei will continue with copper technology innovation. In addition to vectoring and G.fast, Huawei has
started the research on NG-Fast, which will provide a bandwidth of 5–10 Gbit/s over copper lines.

3 Short TTM

Drop fiber routing is a bottleneck in fiber to the home (FTTH) network deployment, which
prompts numerous operators to use existing copper lines to deploy ultra-wideband networks.
The closer application of copper-line technologies to end users leads to a higher access rate.
In addition, high-end users demand to exclusively use ultra-high bandwidths. Considering
these factors, Huawei launched the FTTD/FTTdp solution that is closer to end users than the
FTTB/FTTC solution, assisting carriers in rapidly deploying ultra-wideband networks.

Migration for PSTN Networks
3 Short TTM

Huawei provides the industry-leading smooth PSTN network migration solution, which uses
three-in-one combo boards to efficiently reconstruct original networks.

Challenges

PSTN and DSLAM devices on the live network have been end of
1 service (EOS). These high-failure-rate devices must be out of
service (OOS) from live networks.
A large number of voice-service-only users are on live networks,
and separate network reconstruction requires a high cost. In
2 addition, the voice-service-only users feature low ARPU, bringing
low profits for carriers.

Huawei Solution

• Uses broadband and narrowband combo boards, reducing the demands on the number of
boards and supporting DSL bandwidth acceleration.
• The distance of provisioning both broadband and narrowband services is reduced because
access nodes have moved downward to be closer to end users. New outdoor sites support
both broadband and narrowband services.

SuperVector Speedup

In copper network speedup, various carriers have used VDSL2 + vectoring to achieve
50-100 Mbit/s access. The more advanced G.fast + vectoring solution provides 500
Mbit/s to 1 Gbit/s access at a short distance. However, some carriers require a solution
medium to these two solutions. This is SuperVector. On the basis of VDSL2 + vectoring,
SuperVector speeds up the copper line rate to 100-300 Mbit/s, which is applicable to
broadband coverage for copper line speedup at original sites and remote areas.

Huawei provides the RPS solution complying with the IEC60950-21 standard for power
supply at a long distance from the CO end to remote end through copper lines. This
solution helps carriers resolve power obtaining and backup issues for fast deployment
and service provisioning.

Challenges

Mains supply is difficult to obtain.

 In some regions, remote sites cannot obtain mains

supply due to law restrictions.
 Devices are installed in some scenarios that cannot
obtain mains supply, such as manholes and FDTs.

Batteries are difficult to maintain.

In some regions, batteries are so frequently stolen

that they have to be supplemented once every half
year, leading to difficult maintenance.

Mains supply requires a long period to deploy.

Mains supply is centrally managed by the power

supply department and features long deployment
period, which is a half year on average.

Power obtaining cost is high.

Batteries must be replaced once every two years

generally, featuring high costs.

Large-scale FTTC construction promotes rapid increase for the number of outdoor sites.
A large number of batteries in outdoor cabinets are used for power backup. Carriers
urgently require to effectively manage the batteries to support stable network running.

Challenges
Routine maintenance cost is high.

• Sites are so widely distributed that site visit manpower cost is high.

• According to statistics, the operating expense (OPEX) cost took 49%

of the TCO. However, among the OPEX, battery maintenance fee
took 29%.

Network operating is unstable.

• There is no method to monitor batteries in real time and detect

latent battery faults, which will lead to a service interruption.

• According to statistics, the number of site service interruptions

caused by battery faults takes 19% of the total number of site
service interruptions per year.

ROI is low.

• The health status of a single battery cannot be accurately

obtained. As a result, a single battery fault leads to the
replacement of the entire battery group.

• According to statistics, 60–70% of replaced batteries are

functional.

Large-scale FTTC construction promotes rapid increase for the number of outdoor sites.
The disadvantages of traditional locks are exposed, which decrease site maintenance
efficiency and threat site security. Therefore, carriers urgently require a new door lock for
secure site management.

Challenges

Manual maintenance cost is high.

A large number of sites require a large number of keys to outdoor cabinets. A dedicated
person is responsible for managing the keys. Therefore, the key maintenance cost is high.

The management method is out

of date.
Keys are managed in a mess, and unlocking records are unavailable.

Keys are universal and assets

are prone to be stolen.

Some carriers use universal keys, and cabinet assets are prone to be internally stolen.

Locks are damaged violently

in the event of an emergency.
If the maintenance personnel forget the key, they have to force the door open to handle
emergent issues, damaging the cabinet lock.
