  • Broadband Access Equipment
    COMMUNICATIONS ENGINEERING JFM ‘07 BROADBAND ACCESS EQUIPMENT Foreword Convergence is becoming a reality in the heart of service provider networks, but in the access network it's more a case of divergence, as service providers seek to offer broadband services over an increasing variety of access technologies, so that customers can get connected wherever they are. That raises a number of challenges for carriers, which are beginning to rethink their network infrastructures to address the heightened bandwidth requirements of services like IPTV and HDTV. Not only do they need to ramp up bandwidth to run these services, but they need to control the quality of user experience. At the same time, they need to devise strategies for supporting legacy, circuit-based services over new packet-based access infrastructure. And all this needs to happen in a way that permits the technology to be deployed and changed easily, cheaply, and rapidly. The telecom operators and their suppliers are addressing these challenges by developing new technologies such IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystem), carrier-class Ethernet, and pseudowire encapsulation. They're also working together in associations such as the DSL Forum to establish new standards and architectures. And all of this is resulting in a plethora of new products hitting the market -- a market that represents a huge opportunity for vendors. It's sometimes said that for every dollar carriers spend in the core of their networks they spend $10 on metro equipment and $100 on access networking. Broadband access is evolving at a rapid rate as subscriber rates around the world continue to soar.
