Deploying 10 Gigabit SD-Access Networks An ADTRAN Solution Overview Deploying 10 Gigabit SD-Access Networks Using 10G PON standards and data center principles to build next-gen broadband networks What is Driving the Need Applying Data Center SD-Access: Design-to-Operate, for Next-Gen PON? Architectures to Access Lean-to-Operate Emerging high bandwidth applications like 4K and 360º As telecom and cable operators look to optimise their SD-Access networks are highly agile with the automation video, augmented reality and virtual reality (AR/VR) networks, they are applying lessons learned from data and scalability needed to support mass market residential applications, autonomous vehicles and high-bandwidth center networks.

SLA-based enterprise services using higher performance TWDM-PON optics (NG-PON2) Solution Overview 4 5 Mobilizing Software Defined Access The fronthaul, backhaul and crosshaul of densely deployed 5G radios is the industry’s most urgent and compelling use case for software defined access networks (SD-Access) using highly elastic Next-Gen PON tech- nology, with the potential to save billions of dollars in the build and operation of large-scale 5G networks. 5G promises connectivity 10 to 100 times faster than 4G networks, with response times less than 1 ms, making real-time applications such as remote surgery and driver- less cars feasible over mobile networks for the first time. However, mobile operators will need to deploy 10 times as many radio sites, each needing to be fed by a highly reli- able 10Gbps connection. To optimise the 5G business case and accelerate deployment, the ideal access network will therefore need to be highly scalable and programmable to provide the flexibility and agility to support multiple operators delivering a wide variety of premium and mass market services. Enabling Network Sharing SD-Access enables an enhanced form of network infrastructure sharing known as Fixed Access Network Sharing (FANS), allowing competing service providers to operate independently on shared, open infrastructure. FANS affords greater flexibility, control and visibility than other forms of unbundling, enabling new efficiencies that accelerate the availability and reduce the cost of ultra- broadband connectivity. Figure C: With support for ultra-low latency and network timing synchronization the same fiber network serving enterprise access services can be used to support x-haul services advancing 5G densification initiatives. X-haul connections for densely deployed 5G radios is the industry’s most urgent and compelling use case for SD-Access using highly elastic Next Gen PON technology. Solution Overview 6 7 Applying Data Center Architectures to Access With an open architecture approach, service providers have the freedom to choose best-of-breed elements and control the introduction and rollout of new customers applications and broadband technologies, eliminating high overhead costs.

  • Evolution of Access Network Sharing and Its Role in 5G Networks
    applied sciences Review Evolution of Access Network Sharing and Its Role in 5G Networks Nima Afraz * , Frank Slyne , Harleen Gill and Marco Ruffini * CONNECT Centre, Trinity College, The University of Dublin, 2 Dublin, Ireland; [email protected] (F.S.); [email protected] (H.G.) * Correspondence: [email protected] (N.A.); marco.ruffi[email protected] (M.R.) Received: 3 October 2019; Accepted: 18 October 2019; Published: 28 October 2019 Abstract: This paper details the evolution of access network sharing models from legacy DSL to the most recent fibre-based technology and the main challenges faced from technical and business perspectives. We first give an overview of existing access sharing models, that span physical local loop unbundling and virtual unbundled local access. We then describe different types of optical access technologies and highlight how they support network sharing. Next, we examine how the concept of SDN and network virtualization has been pivotal in enabling the idea of “true multi-tenancy”, through the use of programmability, flexible architecture and resource isolation. We give examples of recent developments of cloud central office and OLT virtualization. Finally, we provide an insight into the role that novel business models, such as blockchain and smart contract technology, could play in 5G networks. We discuss how these might evolve, to provide flexibility and dynamic operations that are needed in the data and control planes. Keywords: access networks; network sharing; 5G networks; multi tenancy; optical access; sharing economics 1. Introduction By its nature, a telecommunications network is a shared resource that interconnects multiple nodes. Network sharing is part of a fundamental principle of statistical multiplexing of link capacity.

  • Beyond LTE: Enabling the Mobile Broadband Explosion
    Beyond LTE: Enabling the Mobile Broadband Explosion August 2014 Key Conclusions (1) • Mobile broadband—encompassing networks, devices, and applications—is becoming one of the most successful and fastest-growing industries of all time. • Computing itself is transitioning from a PC era to a mobile era. Many users will never interact with a PC. • Consumer and business applications have until now driven data demand, but machine-to-machine communication, also called Internet of Things, will generate progressively higher volumes of traffic in the future. • Cloud computing is a significant and growing contributor to data demand. Growth drivers include cloud-based data synchronization, backup, applications, and streaming media. • The wireless industry is addressing exploding data demand through a combination of spectrally more efficient technology, denser deployments, small cells, HetNets, self-configuration, self-optimization, use of unlicensed spectrum with Wi-Fi, and the future possibility of LTE operation in unlicensed bands. • Initial LTE deployments have been faster than any wireless technology previously deployed. Beyond LTE: Enabling the Mobile Broadband Explosion 2 Rysavy Research, 2014 White Paper Key Conclusions (2) • LTE has become the global cellular-technology platform of choice for both Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM)-UMTS and Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA)/Evolution Data Optimized (EV-DO) operators. Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX) operators are adopting LTE-Time Division Duplex (LTE-TDD). • The wireless technology roadmap now extends through International Mobile Telecommunications (IMT)-Advanced, with LTE-Advanced defined to meet IMT- Advanced requirements. LTE-Advanced is capable of peak theoretical throughput rates exceeding 1 gigabit per second (Gbps). Operators began deploying LTE-Advanced in 2013.
