Fiber to the premises - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Fiber to the Premises (FTTP) or Fiber to the Home (FTTH) refers to a broadband or Ethernet telecommunications system based on fiber-optic cables and associated optical electronics for delivery of broadband service such as tripleplay to homes and businesses. KMI Research forecasts that the total FTTP market for equipment, cable, and apparatus will reach $3.2 billion in 2009. Availability in the U.S. In the United States, the most significant FTTP deployments to date are Verizon's FiOS and Broadweave's Triple-Weave Network deployments. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/FTTP   (247 words)

FTTP deployments: US carriers take the plunge (June 2004) - FibreSystems - fibers.org If fibre-to-the-premises (FTTP) is the ultimate end-game in the access network, there are few signs as yet to suggest that European service providers are anywhere near to making their closing plays. As a result, FTTP suppliers are ramping up the pace and preparing to move as fast as possible as Verizon gets into full swing. Johnson says that the FTTP business demands the highest testing requirements seen to date - partly due to the fact that FTTP products will be used in outside plant, which leads to requirements such as advanced ageing testing. www.fibers.org /articles/fs/8/6/3/1   (2740 words)

FTTP deployments: US carriers take the plunge (August 2004) - News & Analysis - fibers.org The next step is deployment, and Verizon is already installing an FTTP network in Keller, Texas (set to go live in June), and in an as yet unidentified city in Virginia. The Marlboro, Massachusetts-based supplier is engaged in FTTP field trials with two other large phone companies and hopes to see them roll into large contracts later in the year. She adds that Verizon's FTTP deployment has had little influence on e.Biscom, other than being an endorsement of the carrier's strategy over the last five years. www.fibers.org /articles/news/6/8/3/1   (2762 words)

FTTP awakening FTTP has come a long way from the days when one of the few pre-eminent showcases of the technology in the U.S. was SBC Communications' slow-moving trial in San Francisco's Mission Bay development, which consumed years but served few. The primary reason behind the FTTP surge in mid-2004 is no doubt Verizon Communications, which responded to cable and wireless competitors with an aggressive bid to grow video and broadband revenue while still retaining its voice customers. To say that muni FTTP is accelerating is not to say that individual projects are moving ahead with blinding speed. telephonyonline.com /mag/telecom_fttp_awakening   (1108 words)

FindProfit.com Profitmap: Verizon Announces FTTP Plans, Positive For GLW   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19) FTTP will allow Verizon to offer consumers and small- and medium-sized businesses high-speed data services that, at a minimum, more than triple DSL speeds and, at a maximum, can bring data to the premise at more than 20x the typical DSL speed. The fast-growing Dallas suburb of Keller, Texas was chosen as VZ's FTTP guinea pig. VZ's goal is bring FTTP to one million residences in pockets around the country by the end of the year, but upgrading the company's entire infrastructure will take a decade or more and cost billions. www.findprofit.com /archive/4830.html   (1374 words)

Telecom Connection Special: Ahead of the Curve on FTTP If the RBOCs roll out FTTP in a sensible, smart manner, they'll eventually be able to not just catch but far surpass the cable companies, who will then need to roll out their own FTTP networks. FTTP is the real deal, and it's being fueled by the conservative, rich, profitable and free-cash-flow positive Baby Bells, who will roll it out over several years. The Deutsche Bank analyst felt he was being "conservative" in anticipating $4.2 billion in FTTP equipment spending in the U.S. Well, I expect that the global market for FTTP will easily approach two or three times that number by the end of the decade. www.thestreet.com /pf/comment/theteleconomist/10167779.html   (2810 words)

Network World: FTTP moving up the to-do list for 2004 Of the three RBOCs that jointly issued the proposal, Verizon is the most bullish and aggressive on FTTP Verizon already has named its equipment suppliers - Advanced Fibre Communications is the chief vendor - and disclosed plans to pass 1 million homes in 2004, perhaps doubling that coverage in 2005. FTTP defines a set of common technical requirements for extending fiber-optic cabling and equipment to homes and businesses. SBC has not announced its FTTP vendor, but investment firm UBS Warburg says it's likely to be Alcatel because of Alcatel's incumbency in an SBC FTTP trial in California, and in supplying the RBOC with DSL and digital loop carrier equipment. www.findarticles.com /p/articles/mi_qa3649/is_200312/ai_n9344113   (974 words)

City of Tigard > News > Recent Events with Verizon FTTP Construction The FTTP project involves the installation of a fiber-optic network in Verizon service areas that ultimately will bring fiber-optics directly to the homes of customers requesting this service. The City is working closely with Verizon and its contractors to minimize the disruptions caused by construction on the FTTP project and to ensure that Verizon and its contractors follow all applicable laws, ordinances and regulations. The City also routinely inspects the contractors' work and has daily contact with Verizon or its contractors to ensure that the work is being performed properly, all work sites are properly repaired and restored, and residents' concerns are being addressed. www.ci.tigard.or.us /news/05-03-23_verizon.asp   (272 words)

VZ's FTTP Foray Forces Hard Look at Technology With FTTP, fiber-optic lines, some with widths as small as a human hair, are used instead of copper wires to connect a home or business directly to carrier's network, eliminating last-mile bottlenecks. Until Verizon's push, most FTTP initiatives were parochial, Render said. Yankee Group's Mahoney said he doesn't see telecoms' FTTP aspirations as an immediate threat to national cable providers, who are improving their own networks to boost broadband speeds and handle video-on-demand. www.internetnews.com /xSP/article.php/3357741   (1180 words)

FTTP - On-Demand Soroka also pointed out some of the things that have plagued FTTP from the beginning, such as providing back-up power and will the maintenance costs really be less in the long-term. That is, the competition sees FTTP competitor and they don’t want to go into that particular community.. Generally, he has found that FTTP is 20 to 60% higher than traditional copper implementations. www.viodi.com /newsletter/040401/article1.htm   (649 words)

Re: FTTP and LSRs   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19) This letter is to advise you that with the deployment of Fiber to the Premise (FTTP) in some Verizon areas, there are a few clarifications needed to ensure that Local Service Requests are processed accurately and timely. First, the FTTP status of the retail or resold line can be determined through (a) the appearance of the FTTP Facility Environment Provisioning indicator value of A, for fiber on the customer service record (in Verizon-West) or the FTTP USOC (in Verizon-East) or (b) the pre-order Fiber Availability Query. FTTP will require access to a 110-volt electrical outlet at the end users premises. www22.verizon.com /wholesale/library/local/industryletters/1,,east-wholesale-resources-2005_industry_letters-clecs-06_01,00.html   (418 words)

FTTP: The technology FTTP, on the other hand, is fractured — into broadband passive optical networks (BPON), Gigabit PON (GPON) and Ethernet architectures — and struggles to compete with ever-maturing forms of advanced DSL. The FTTP equipment market hasn't yet matured to the point where a community of vendors offer interoperable gear, fostering the cost benefits and innovation that accompany competition. Alcatel serves SBC's FTTP plans, such as they are — the carrier aims to pass 1 million homes with FTTP but 18 million with advanced DSL. telephonyonline.com /mag/telecom_technology/index.html   (1309 words)

KMI Research   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19) The amount of cabled-fiber demand used in FTTP and fiber in the loop (FITL) applications in the U.S. will contribute to a 19% CAGR for the total U.S. single-mode cable market from 2003 through 2009. In 2003, there was a fledgling fiber to the home, or FTTP, market underway, consisting of approximately 100 different projects--the majority of which were undertaken by municipalities, utility companies, real-estate developers, and other "non-telco" organizations. One factor affecting the FTTP market's development is the distinction between homes passed and homes subscribing. kmi.pennnet.com /press_display.cfm?ARTICLE_ID=211004   (513 words)

Light Reading - Networking the Telecom Industry The RBOCs remain committed to their DSL deployments, and the bandwidth of DSL is sufficient to deliver broadband data and voice to their customers," writes Sterling Perrin, senior research analyst at IDC, in a recent email. What the RBOCs plan to do with FTTP is up in the air, but it's pretty clear they're nowhere near shelving DSL. He views the FTTP RFP mainly as an information exercise (see A Closer Look at PON Econ). www.lightreading.com /document.asp?doc_id=43413&print=true   (638 words)

Light Reading - Networking the Telecom Industry In a speech given at a Morgan Stanley conference in Boston on Tuesday, Whitacre indicated that SBC had no incentive to build out FTTP, which requires passive optical networking (PON), because the costs of equipment and trenching are still too high. According to Brent Fowler, a spokesman for BellSouth, that RBOC is "committed" to the FTTP project and intends to keep moving on fiber buildouts. He has long held that the RBOCs are testing the waters with this RFP, but with no specific end in view (see A Closer Look at PON Econ). www.lightreading.com /document.asp?doc_id=40031&print=true   (846 words)

Last Mile News   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19) Evans confirmed that Verizon plans to pass one million homes with FTTP by the end of 2004, meaning that fiber would be trenched or carried via aerial deployments, and central office OLTs would be deployed to reach this potential customer base. Verizon is also "very motivated" to move to packet voice technologies in parallel with FTTP deployments so as not to further invest in legacy switch interfaces. In comparison to the 1996 Joint Procurement decision, Nelson said this FTTP decision is being watched around the world and that many other carriers would follow this lead as greater volumes would lead to lower prices. www.convergedigest.com /DSL/lastmilearticle.asp?ID=8766   (1019 words)

FTTP fear factor Of FTTP, Anderson, director of network engineering and technology at the Fairfax, Va., university, says: "We'd love to explore that possibility." He considers FTTP as a potential alternative to DSL, which he hasn't embraced because of its dubious track record on reliability. FTTP promises better performance and greater speed than DSL, which is delivered to the premises via copper. FTTP relies on passive optical network (PON) technology to bring high-speed fiber optic all, or almost all, the way to a remote office, small business or home. www.networkworld.com /buzz/2003/0929fttp.html   (1901 words)

LinuxElectrons™ - FTTP On The Rise, But Still Lags Broadband Competitors While 11.8 million premises passed by fiber optic cable would show strong growth, it is important to realize this is still a small percentage of all households and businesses in the US, says the high-tech research firm. The report, Fiber-to-the-Premise: Telecom Looks to Broaden Broadband (#IN0501988TX), examines the drivers and barriers for FTTP in the US market, as well as current initiatives. Forecasts include homes and businesses within FTTP service areas (passed premises), along with subscribers for the years 2004-2009. www.linuxelectrons.com /article.php/20050426224814952   (333 words)

Telcordia - Fiber-To-The-Premises (FTTP) - White Paper The challenges for the RBOCs in deploying FTTP technology are legion. However, even the biggest detractors admit that the buzz over FTTP has gotten loud, and RBOC progress toward FTTP deployment is now measurable and undeniable. FTTP is happening; it is the future; and, as industry developments go, this is big. www.telcordia.com /library/whitepapers/fttp.jsp   (209 words)

TelecomWeb   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19) Fiber Optic Communities of the United States (FOCUS), the fiber to the premises (FTTP) users’ group which was born in October, has increased its membership by a baker’s dozen — representing a 50 percent increase in membership in the nascent organization. The new members are a mix of communities with FTTP and companies that want to sell to those communities. The group’s charter is to provide a meeting place for communities with FTTP, but so far only a couple of dozen have joined out of the several hundred now extant in the United States that already have FTTP, or are considering such an installation. www.telecomweb.com /news/1111169526.htm   (350 words)

Telstra will pilot FTTP network in June: ZDNet Australia: News: Communications Telstra anticipates that FTTP will be "selectively deployed by commercial negotiations" in newly built estates and new or refurbished multi-dwelling building over the next few years. A spokesman from Telstra claims the company will focus on new estates and new apartment buildings in the short-term, saying "it's not realistic at this time to dig up the streets with the copper network in them and replace them with fibre". Telstra claim the FTTP network will enable the traditional network services of digital subscription television, broadband and telephony data transfer, with new capabilities to support high definition TV. www.zdnet.com.au /news/communications/0,2000061791,39143961,00.htm   (596 words)

Verizon's FTTP Plan Takes Shape Verizon is betting that FTTP, with its fast speeds and ability to carry data, voice and video, will lure customers from rival telecoms and ISPs that offer digital subscriber line (define) over copper and cable operators selling broadband through coax. FTTP, as well as the back-end network, should be able to support television, Laszlo said. Still, even if there is some slippage in the timetable or the number of homes passed, Verizon's FTTP deployments this year should give Baby Bells a good idea of how the technology works and what kind of services and applications are attractive to consumers. www.internetnews.com /infra/article.php/3383511   (649 words)

Of Martha Stewart and FTTP FTTP is designed to lower the cost of deploying fiber to businesses and residences for high-speed broadband services. While on face value, the intent of FTTP seems genuine - low cost of deployment translating to competitive pricing for new services - some skeptics say FTTP, especially its fiber to the home proposal, is a smokescreen or a Trojan horse. FTTP is intended to persuade cable companies to invest heavily in defending their broadcast TV turf while the RBOCs invest incrementally in pumping ADSL to 20M bit/sec, enter into marketing arrangements with satellite companies for video delivery and avoid the expense of running fiber everywhere, Nolle says. www.nwfusion.com /edge/columnists/2003/0609edgecol1.html   (1062 words)

Infrastructure Solutions: RBOC Threesome Provides More Details on FTTP Activities The RBOCs’ economic requirements were that the systems support both residential and business applications with a single platform; FTTP for greenfield deployment would be a nobrainer; the cost for overlays would be as variable as possible; and the deep fiber would lower the telcos’ outside plant lifecycle costs. The regulatory requirement that the telcos maintain their copper plant for competitors to use or unbundle voice on the overbuild FTTP network is problematic for the ILECs, Cambron explained, because a key justification of moving to fiber is so you no longer have to maintain the old copper plant. He added that unbundling a component of the FTTP network to competitors would require extensive investment by the ILEC in OSS to allow the competitive carrier(s) to test, provision and maintain their services on the FTTP network. www.xchangemag.com /articles/3c1infra3.html   (984 words)

Communications Engineering & Design - 3/04 •FTTP• "Filling up on fiber"   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19) The proposed UTOPIA project in Utah was considered the poster child for FTTP and fiber-to-the-home, but even its backers are still busy soliciting the 18 cities involved to help foot the bill for the project’s $540 million price tag, says a recent report in the Salt Lake City Tribune. The outlook for FTTP changed, probably forever, last May when BellSouth Corp., SBC Communications and Verizon Communications bellied up to the fiber buffet with an adopted set of common standards and specs for advanced fiber-based systems capable of pumping out voice, video and data services. Although Charter Communications hasn’t pursued FTTP from a corporate architecture standpoint, it is taking a close look at the technology to determine the business opportunities it could open up, says Tom Gorman, vice president of engineering for the MSO’s Midwest division. www.cedmagazine.com /ced/2004/0304/03a.htm   (2140 words)
