FTTH Service and Management networks design A Degree Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of the Escola Tècnica d'Enginyeria de Telecomunicació de Barcelona, Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree in Science and Telecommunication Technologies Engineering Author: Beinat Arrieta Fernández Academic co-advisor: Josep Pegueroles Vallés Technical co-advisor: Javier Escobar Cañamaque Barcelona, April 2015 Abstract The following project’s main goal is to develop the design of the services and management networks for a real FTTH operator that will operate in Vallès Oriental, which will serve as a model for other projects of this kind. In the first part of the project a little study about the different alternatives that appear when developing the design, in terms of architecture and technologies is made. GPON architecture, and VoIP and IPTV technologies are stablished the ideal ones for this operator. Then, a high level design is carried out, in which the necessary equipment and the basic connections are defined in order to be able to offer the services in the catalogue. With this, the basics are defined in order to be able to raise the level of detail, and start talking about the IP networks, VLANs, etc. that the network will need to be operative. With the help of schematics, the reader will be able to better understand this phase of the project. Finally, a Business Plan is developed, in order to justify why an energy supply company can decide to undertake a new project as a telecommunications operator. 1 Resum El següent projecte té com a objectiu principal dur a terme el disseny de la xarxa de serveis i de gestió per a un operador real de FTTH que operarà al Vallès Oriental, que podrà servir com a base per a d’altres projectes del mateix tipus o similars. En la primera part del projecte es du a terme un petit estudi d’un seguit de diferents alternatives que apareixen a l’hora de desenvolupar el disseny, tant en arquitectura com en tecnologia. S’estableix l’arquitectura GPON, i les tecnologies VoIP i IPTV les ideals per a l’escenari de l’operador. Seguidament es fa un disseny d’alt nivell en el qual es defineixen els equipaments necessaris i les interconnexions bàsiques per a poder oferir els serveis indicats en el catàleg. Amb això es té el necessari per a fer possible una pujada de nivell de detall, donant pas a les xarxes IP, VLANS, etc. que la xarxa necessitarà per a ser operativa. Es facilita la comprensió del disseny mitjançant esquemàtics fàcils de comprendre pel lector. Es desenvolupa, finalment, un pla de negoci que pretén justificar que una empresa del sector elèctric de renom decideixi emprendre un nou projecte com a operador de telecomunicacions. 2 Resumen El siguiente proyecto tiene como principal objetivo llevar a cabo el diseño de las redes de servicio y gestión para un operador real de FTTH que operará en la comarca del Vallés Oriental, que a su vez podrá servir de base a otros proyectos del mismo tipo o similares. En la primera parte del proyecto se hace un pequeño estudio de las diferentes alternativas que aparecen a la hora de desarrollar el diseño, en lo que a arquitectura y tecnologías se refiero. Se establece la arquitectura GPON, i las tecnologías VoIP e IPTV como las ideales en el escenario del operador en cuestión. Seguidamente se lleva a cabo un diseño de alto nivel en el que se definen los equipos necesarios i las interconexiones básicas para poder ofrecer los servicios del catálogo. Con esto se tiene lo necesario para poder subir el nivel de detalle, dando paso a las redes IP, VLANS, etc. Que necesitará la red para ser operativa. Se facilita la comprensión del diseño a través de esquemas fáciles de entender para el lector. Se desarrolla, finalmente, un plan de negocio que pretende justificar que una empresa del sector eléctrico con nombre decida emprender un nuevo proyecto cómo operador de telecomunicaciones. 3 To my grandma, uncle and friend Jaume Muixí, R.I.P. 4 Acknowledgements First of all I would like to express my gratitude to my colleagues from Nae that have given me the opportunity to work in this ambitious project. Especially to my co-advisor Javier Escobar, who has always been there for whatever I needed and shared all his knowledge with me. I also have to thank Josep Pegueroles for his predisposition for every advice that I needed and for showing so much interest in this project. And last, my family, who have always supported me, may it be related or not to this project. Thanks. 5 Revision history and approval record Revision Date Purpose 0 08/04/2015 Document creation 1 13/06/2015 Document revision 2 17/06/2015 Document revision 3 01/07/2015 Document revision 4 08/07/2015 Document revision DOCUMENT DISTRIBUTION LIST Name e-mail Beinat Arrieta Fernández [email protected] Josep Pegueroles Vallés [email protected] Javier Escobar Cañamaque [email protected] Written by: Reviewed and approved by: Date 08/03/2015 Date 09/07/2015 Name Beinat Arrieta Fernández Name Josep Pegueroles Vallés Position Project Author Position Project Supervisor 6 Table of contents Abstract ...................................................................................................................................... 1 Resum ......................................................................................................................................... 2 Resumen ..................................................................................................................................... 3 Acknowledgements .................................................................................................................... 5 Revision history and approval record ......................................................................................... 6 Table of contents ........................................................................................................................ 7 List of Figures .............................................................................................................................. 9 List of Tables: ............................................................................................................................ 11 1.
