• COST COMPARAISON
• WBA lt gt Wired ADSL
• For suburban areas

36

•  Cost calculation of ADSL wired access

Assumption   we use 4 km 2 km (primary
secondary) of undergrounded copper cable (0.6mm)
to prvide ADSL access for 20 suburban
subscribers. We use small capacity DSLAM ADSL
modem
37
  Cost calculation of ADSL wired access (Cd)

• The average cost per ADSL wired access 2700 DT

38

• Cost calculation of WBA_CDMA access

39

• COST COMPARAISON
• For suburban areas
• WBA lt gt Wired ADSL
• 2500 DT lt gt 2700 DT

40
  Conclusion The optimal Broadband solution to
connect suburban users depends on distanses
(geographical distribution) and number of
subscribers. The main advantages of WBA are time
to market and easy re-use.
