4 ACCESS | Spring Issue 2012 Connect with the RCA - The Competitive Carriers Association

Backhaul, along with access to useable spectrum, interoperable devices, and voice and data roaming, are all criti- cal inputs for mobile broadband. Mobile broadband service is transported between the consumer and a carrier’s infrastructure over wireless spectrum. Once it reaches the carrier’s tower infrastructure, the mobile broadband signal must be “backhauled” to the network, which can be transported over wireless microwave facilities or wire line facilities. In order to provide robust services in today’s marketplace, competitive carriers require meaning- ful, competitive access to each of these inputs. In today’s consolidated wireless market, competitive wireless providers have difficulties gaining access to spectrum and economically sustainable backhaul as they work to expand mobile broadband access at commercially reasonable prices. RCA is the nation’s leading association for competitive wireless providers serving all areas of the United States. Today, the licensed service area of RCA’s over 100 carrier members covers more than 95 percent of the nation. Headquartered in Washington, DC, RCA advocates on behalf of our members’ interests and works to educate policymakers on the key issues that impact our members’ ability to compete, survive, and thrive. Currently these issues include automatic data roaming, interoperability throughout the 700 MHz spectrum, Universal Service Fund reform, spectrum policy and licensing issues and handset exclusivity, among others. KGP Logistics, like RCA, has been supporting the needs of competitive carriers for 41 years and remains dedicated to these carriers as the move into the mobile broadband market.

ADTRAN Optical Networking Edge (ONE) Reprises Role Made Famous by SONET

Fifteen years ago, service providers were concerned about scaling services to meet the demand for new higher- speed DS1 or DS3 access driven by home internet, hundreds of new TV channels and the mobile phone explosion. Today, again, service providers are concerned about scaling site access to 100Mbps or even 1Gbps Ethernet to support residential and mobile broadband deployments as well as cloud computing business models.

To combat these new network crashers, the starring role this time around is not a SONET platform, as it was back in the 1990s, but a new and improved Packet Optical Networking Platform (PONP) that is right-sized and more specifi- cally, one using Optical Transport Networks (OTN) as defined by ITU-T G.709.

Spoiler alert: Tablet mobile devices subscribing to over-the-top video services like NetFlix (Qwikster) and YouTube put 100 times the demand on the network than that of typical feature phones. The FCC is pushing their 100M squared initiative for 100Mbps to 100 Million homes by 2020. Cloud computing is seeing a migration from 100Mbps intra-building LAN service to 100Mbps inter-building Local Area network (LAN) as database servers are consolidated and centralized. Your computer is not accessing content stored down in the basement of the building your currently in, but likely a building on the other side of the city or country.

In the classic version of the story, new SONET multi-service provisioning platforms (MSPPs) allowed our networks to scale the delivery and transport of huge amounts of TDM services. DS1 and DS3 access services were bundled into OC-3, OC-12 or even by the hundreds in near 10Gbps chunks using OC-192. What was once the high-water mark for aggregation can now be considered a viable service size – 10Gbps Ethernet. We no longer look to aggregate up to 10Gbps of service on our access platforms, but multiple 10Gbps services. This is where optical networking comes in. OTN is a technology that allows both the SONET-aggregated services and new Ethernet services to be aggregated onto their own separate 1.25, 2.5 or 10Gigabit digital containers. Now, hundreds of gigabits of mixed- services traffic can be combined on a single fiber facility. This is perfect for migrating away from SONET and ramping up Ethernet. Again, in the classic version of pushing new optical technologies out to the edge of the network to improve services scale, ease of provisioning played a key role. By adding to an optical networking platform (a reconfigurable optical add-drop multiplexing (ROADM) platform) we can greatly simplify the provisioning and successive re-provisioning of these next-generation Ethernet and legacy OC-n services.

The common storyline has been the development of new high-performance optical technologies for the network core. These technologies then have to be adapted for the edge of the network as that inevitably becomes the network bottle- neck. This transition from core to edge has been burdened with inefficiency—overlay and mid-sized solutions which require new infrastructure and operational requirements. Edge solutions must be optimized for where they sit and what they do for the network. They need to be right-sized. This saves costs attributed to space, power and procedural upgrades.

ADTRAN Optical Networking Edge (ONE) Reprises Role Made Famous by SONET

Simplified operations and the reduced network costs are attributed to right sizing and integrating various net- working capabilities. Thus, integrating the latest Packet Optical Transport technology into the installed base that currently supports your services access and aggregation would be a great advantage. As a proof point, the ADTRAN Total Access 5000 Multi-Service Access Platform (MSAP) allows network operators to leverage the bandwidth efficiencies of the optical core all the way to the edge. As the demand for access bandwidth contin- ues to explode, ADTRAN’s Optical Networking Edge (ONE) solution provides unmatched services aggregation and optical transport capabilities for last- and middle-mile broadband delivery, while accelerating time to rev- enue, eliminating multi-box complexity, simplifying operations and reducing costs.

Beating Today’s Backhaul Challenges The newest generations of smartphones, tablets, and other devices are literally flying off the shelves as consumers and businesses fill an almost insatiable desire for mobility. The appeal of 4G and LTE, with vastly greater bandwidth, fuels the craving for more apps, more usage, and more reliance on the mobile device for anywhere and anytime communications. All that data and voice traffic is growing faster than the industry’s ability to even predict it. At the same time, expectations keep getting higher and higher for both mobile device and network performance. Users have come to expect instant gratification, with little tolerance for delay. Service providers can deploy cell towers to handle the radio side of the equation, but backhauling the tsunami of traffic from those towers to the core network is a more challenging task. The biggest issues are capacity, cost, dependability, speed of deployment, and which technology to choose for the varying backhaul environments. The same backhaul technology that works well in a suburban or rural location may not be at all practical in a dense urban setting. In some places, backhauling traffic in traditional TDM mode makes the most sense, while in others Ethernet/IP-- or a mix of TDM and Ethernet – is the best approach. Wireless backhaul offers many clear benefits. It offers more bandwidth than copper and almostas much as fiber, without the exorbitant cost of installing and lighting up the fiber. It can be deployed in a fraction of the time of wired backhaul solutions, and its reliability is on par with fiber, thanks to tremendous technology advances over the past decade. Still, fear of congestion and interference issues creates a barrier to some service providers’ embrace of radio-based backhaul, particularly when it comes to unlicensed radios. Thanks to technological advances in radios, many such concerns are now moot points. But once a carrier, service provider, or enterprise commits to wireless-based backhaul, there is still a technology direction question that remains. Should they move entirely to Ethernet trans- mission from the start, or should they stick with the more prevalent TDM/T1 transmission and then migrate later? If they opt for the latter, how will they plan to handle the eventual migration? Industry veterans remember that as far back as the 1970s, predictions abounded as to the imminent demise of T1s. More than 30 years later, their end is only now coming into sight. The transition to Ethernet/IP is rapidly gaining momentum, but the shift away from TDM/T1 is still a gradual one. Because service providers have so much invested in T1s and TDM, the migration decision is largely driven by economics. While they know migration is inevitable, they still have control over the timing. A “best of both worlds” backhaul solution is one that makes the TDM-to-Ethernet migration as seamless and painless as possible. Addressing Backhaul Challenges with RAD’s Airmux-400 Carrier Class and Affordable RAD Data Communications’ Airmux-400 Broadband Wireless Radio offers carrier-class reliability through features such as a dual power supply, an adjustable jitter buffer to ensure error-free transmission, and an industry- best bit error rate of 10-11. Its MIMO (multiple inputs, multiple outputs) design achieves high channel efficiency, with the ability to transmit 100 Mbps through a 40 MHz channel. In addition, the radio’s diversity mode overcomes fading by sending the data chain through two different polarizations simultaneously, with the receiving radio intelligently receiving the best of the two trans- missions. RAD even offers a 1+1 configuration for critical connec- tions, so in the unlikely event one link fails; the system automatically switches to the other link.

Beating Today’s Backhaul Challenges TDM and Ethernet in the Same Unit RAD’s Airmux-400 Broadband Wireless Radio is one of the few radios on the market that offers both TDM/T1 (up to 8 or 16 T1s – depending on model) and Ethernet/IP in the same unit. That allows providers a smooth and gradual migration, and one that they completely control, including transmitting a combination of the two signal types for as long as necessary. Such dual capabilities essentially future-proof the equipment and the backhaul links. Designed to Operate in Environments With a Lot of Interference The Airmux-400’s multi-band operation allows a provider to easily switch between bands to avoid congestion, and its embedded spectrum analyzer provides clear insight into the quality of the link between sites. The Airmux’s unique Hub Site Synchronization and GPS Hub Site Synchronization features prevent multiple radios on the same tower from interfering with each other. Finally, the radios take advantage of Fast ARQ, a patented process for detection of transmission errors, in which data can be re-sent before the radio at the other end even knows there was a problem. Conclusion The growth rate in mobile traffic won’t be slowing down anytime soon. Backhauling all that traffic is a challenge that can cause a lot of sleepless nights for network planners. With the advantages that radio-based backhaul offers, it is a solution that can fill even the most demanding backhaul applications quickly, with ample capacity, high reliability, and the ability to future-proof the installations.

Expanding Connections The explosive growth in Social Media, Smart Phones, Tablets and Internet connected TVs requires network connectivity everywhere and all the time. Our lives seem to revolve around the need to be connected, and not necessarily with people, but rather with the devices that are, in turn, connected to other devices, which, by the way, belong to people. The New Connected Society A panel of twenty something’s being interviewed last month in Springfield, Massachusetts provides excellent insight into where the current generation spends its time and their ex- pectations of their connection, in this case their network connection. • The single most popular use of time (outside work) was not watching television or spend- ing time with friends, but being on the Internet. The panelists spent an average of two hours a day on the Internet, and this allocation nearly doubled on weekends. • The majority of the time spent accessing the Internet was when they were stationary (i.e., at home). • Their primary mode of communication with their friends and peers was through text mes- saging, instant messaging from social networking sites and then e-mail. • They consumed large amounts of video from the Internet through a combination of You- Tube, content providers (ABC, CBS, ESPN, Fox, Hulu, NBC, Netflix) and their favorite social networking destination. • Half of the panelists had a traditional land line (telephone) but rarely used it to make or receive calls. • If financial constraints forced them to choose between telephony, mobile device and In- ternet connectivity, they would abandon telephone service and mobile device before they would give up wired Internet connection. • One common factor from previous generations is price sensitivity. When free content be- came part of a subscription service, they abandoned that site and sought the same con- tent elsewhere or found alternative free content. Implications for Service Providers For service providers, there are implications that go beyond an anthropological observa- tion on the evolution of human behavior. The main categories are: 1. To be relevant, end-customer services must extend beyond telephone service The willingness of the customer to give up land line service or not purchase land line service to begin with requires that service providers offer customers broadband. This service must become an essential part of the bundle to increase ARPU (average revenue per customer) or, more importantly, to retain that customer. As revenue from minutes of usage declines, they must find alternative sources of profitable revenue. 2. Higher capacity on the last-mile connectivity present opportunities to up sell Customers are consuming more and more bandwidth. Where the customer is stream- ing content from providers like Netflix, a decent quality of experience requires about 2 Mbps of bandwidth (although the Nexflix site states that the minimum bandwidth required is 500kbps). While consumers might not look to the network provider to be the primary source of content, they seem to be willing to buy the capacity required for the desired quality of experience. This provides an opportunity for service providers. While they might not have found the ideal avenue to monetize content, they certainly have an opportunity to ensure that consumers have the desired quality of experience by provid- Industry Experts Offer Solutions to Filling the Ever Expanding Need for More Bandwidth

ing them the right amount of bandwidth. This could mean upselling the customer the next tier of bandwidth, an upgrade that customer seems to be willing to pay for. This approach of working with the customers who are accessing free content or even free services, (like Skype and Google Voice), and upgrading their service provides an opportunity to not only stay relevant, but grow both their top and bottom line. For service providers that have cracked the code on monetizing content, this presents a dual opportunity: First, they can upsell the consumer with content, whether that is over the top video or integrated services like IPTV. Second, they can bundle the higher bandwidth service. This approach ensures adequate recovery of cost for ad- ditional capacity and provides the convenience of having all services from a single provider. 3. Higher capacity and cost on the backhaul network The higher bandwidth consumption is driving not only greater bandwidth on the last mile, but places an equiva- lent demand on the backhaul network. In addition to trying to increase ARPU, carriers must contend with rising costs. Since the cost of backhaul is driven by cumulative bandwidth consumption in any given period, allocating cost to individual subscribers is complex. Therefore, service providers focus very closely on managing cost and ensuring operational efficiency. Connecting Society and Remaining Profitable In the face of increasing demand, pressure on margins and declining revenue, carriers do not have the ability to embark on multi-billion dollar network upgrades. But are multi-billion dollar network upgrades the only way to provide the quality of experience and remain profitable? Carriers must look at their existing network infrastructure and realize there are solutions that can make their existing networks efficacious. They must leverage their existing networks to deliver the bandwidth that can ensure the quality of experience customers are demanding with solu- tions that have an ROI of months, not years. For carriers that have already deployed fiber, this means using their fiber network. For carriers that have an exist- ing copper-based network, Actelis, The Broadband Acceleration Company™, has industry-leading solutions that allows them to boost bandwidth delivered, greatly expand coverage area, and deliver broadband where only POTS could be delivered, all leveraging the existing infrastructure.

IPTV, once called the future of home entertainment, is here today. It is one of the most promising new opportu- nities for Telcos. A recent report from MRG 1 states that the number of global IPTV subscribers will grow from 53 million in 2011 to 105.1 million in 2015, a compound annual growth rate of 18.7%. This is great news for telcos. IPTV deployments are proven to stop landline subscriber erosion, increase ARPU, reduce churn and improve broadband purchases. IPTV is also protecting telcos from competitive threats of Triple Play coming from the cable industry. Telcos today are looking for cost effective and reliable technology to deploy the new IPTV services effectively in the home. Understanding the Home Entertainment Network The key to successful IPTV deployments is an understanding of the network requirements inside the home. While access technology is important, the bigger challenge is to have a home entertainment network inside the home with enough bandwidth to deliver the performance and robustness required for pay-TV services. The home entertainment network is different from the traditional home network in several ways. First, it is essen- tially a real-time network. There is very little tolerance for network latency. Unlike data networks where the cus- tomers can tolerate jitter and other network delay problems, the pay-TV customer’s tolerance for buffering delays and video glitches is very low requiring a much more robust technology. Second, home entertainment networks are bandwidth intensive. Delivering multiple HDTV streams, whole home DVR, and other services adds up in terms of bandwidth. Typically, the throughput requirement for a home en- tertainment network is 5 to10 times greater than for a traditional home data network. In addition, a sustained minimum data rate must be supplied - even to the most distant television on the network – to insure a satisfac- tory viewing experience. WiFi and CAT-5 Are Not the Solution While a widely deployed networking technology such as Ethernet or 802.11 WiFi might seem the obvious choice, they don’t meet the requirements of telcos. They lack the home coverage, cost or performance requirements needed to deliver home enter- tainment networks. WiFi isn’t a satisfactory alternative for IPTV service because it lacks a consistently high bandwidth over a great enough area as well as the robustness required for delivering HDTV streams over the entire house. Plus, due to construction, coverage inside the home can be spotty, unreliable, or change if the equipment is moved. CAT-5 is also considered a possible technology. However, CAT-5 is not widely available throughout most homes and is intrusive, time consuming, and expensive to install. The best approach is to find existing wires in the house that can meet the bandwidth requirements of home en- tertainment networks. The two best types of wire in terms of bandwidth and reliability are coax and twisted pair. HomePNA – the most popular Home Entertainment Network Solution for Telcos When telcos want to deploy IPTV and triple play, the technology they turn to most is HomePNA; ITU standard G.9954. Four out of the top five largest telcos in North America deploying IPTV have selected HomePNA. In a recent report, HomePNA 3.1 was ranked the most widely deployed IPTV solution amongst service providers worldwide. What makes HomePNA so relevant to Telcos? It provides the performance and business attributes telcos want: high speed and reliability, compat- ibility to existing infrastructure, and an attractive business model. HomePNA 3.1 delivers high bandwidth IP traf- fic over existing coax and phone wires. The latest HomePNA solutions deliver more than 200 Mbit/s of continuous throughput – enough to meet all the needs of service providers for the foreseeable fu- ture. It provides enhanced features such as best-in- class guaranteed quality of service (QoS) and TR069 compatible remote management and diagnostics capabilities that were developed specifically to al- low telcos to provide reliable cutting-edge televi- sion service while minimizing OpEx costs. HomePNA also works well with telco infrastructure. It coexists with ADSL, VDSL and related technolo- gies. This makes it easy for service providers to quickly and economically deploy IPTV inside the home. At least as important is the HomePNA business model. Unlike some other home network technolo- gies, HomePNA is already integrated into many devices in the ecosystem. Over 75 certified prod- ucts from leading manufacturers including set top boxes, residential gateways, and ONTs are listed on the HomePNA website www.homepna.org/products/member_prioducts. HomePNA to Ethernet bridges are also readily available from a number of vendors including KGP Logistics own Premier brand. In addition, by using the existing coax and phone lines in the house, service providers are reducing their IPTV install times by 50% or more.

26 ACCESS | Spring Issue 2012 INNOVATE TE INTRODUCES NEW COMPACT CWDM MODULE

TE Connectivity (TE) compact CWDM module provides increased bandwidth and capacity for future network growth in one of the industry’s smallest packages. Its compact size and unique carrier tray set it apart, making it easier to deploy in a variety of field situations.

The compact CWDM is available in 4-or 8-channel configurations and can be installed in the field or in the factory. The module comes with a carrier that allows for fast and easy snap-in mounting to any TE splice tray or closure and can also be installed in most non-TE closures without using the carrier.

KEY BENEFITS: • Compact size. 1.7”L x 1.0”T x 0.24”D (43mmL x 25mmT x 6mmD) • Free Space Optics design. Lower overall insertion loss and better uniformity across the channels • Simplified inventory management. The same component can be used in the head end or outside plant and as a Mux or Demux
