Case Study

• To compare the cost of the copper and fiber based
  access network.
• A 2400 unit green field township is selected for
  the exercise.

Total Cost of Ownership TCO
ADSL k ATM k IP k
Physical 1,471 1,388 1,388
Electronics 5,342 10,531 6,495
Total Cost 6,813 11,919 7,883
Cost / User 2.838 4.966 3.285
Assumptions 1- 2400 user. 2- Fully loaded system
from day one. 3- Common costs are not included
(Duct). 4- Physical for ATM IP is based on
blown fiber. 5- Triple play services to all
customers.
15
Conclusions

• Based on the current prices IP fiber based
  solution is nearly the same as ADSL copper.
• Un like ATM ADSL, IP prices tendency to go down
  by higher margin.
• IP is the future technology providing cost
  effective and flexible network.

16
Development Activities

• ATM fiber based solution trial currently under
  review.
• Triple play IP fiber based solution on MPLS demo
  currently in progress.
• Blown fiber technology trial completed
  successfully.
