Next-Generation Fibre to the Home Deployment - A HEAnet Case Study
Presenters:
Dr Marco Ruffini - TCDProf David Payne - CTVR, TCD
Description:
It is well understood that current cable and xDSL techniques will not be able to cope with the growing traffic demand prompted by a multitude of new online content sharing applications. Data rates for HD video applications run in excess of 10 Mbps per channel, while novel real-time services such as thin client computing require peak bandwidth of tens of Mbps to deliver satisfactory quality of experience.
At Trinity College we are currently carrying out a joint project together with the HEAnet network development team and the Cork Constraint Computation Centre team at UCC, on a case study for a potential LR-PON implementation in the HEAnet network. Our preliminary investigations suggests that delivering FTTP to HEAnet customers could be achieved with less than 10 nodes. This could bring considerable reduction in power consumption and costs (both capital and operational).
