The operational cost of running next-generation access networks has attracted less commentary than the capex involved in deploying them, but opex is a key consideration for operators.
NGA opex
As more operators are deploying FTTH and FTTC/VDSL infrastructure and gaining greater experience of its operation, interest is growing in the costs of running these networks in comparison with legacy ADSL. This issue is of importance to incumbent operators, local-loop unbundlers and bitstream operators, as well as cable competitors.
This Viewpoint provides:
an analysis of the differences in opex for FTTH, ADSL and VDSL networks
commentary on the drivers of potential opex savings for operators moving to FTTH, including:
energy consumption costs
fault repair and maintenance costs
avoidance of LLU fees for unbundlers (including a case study on Jazztel in Spain)
an examination of the different tools operators can use to reduce opex on FTTH, ADSL and VDSL networks.
COMPANY COVERAGE
