Enhanced FTTx solutions
Deploy faster and farther to increase your revenues
You are an Operator, with the strategy of widely delivering anew generation of triple-play broadband services to your subscri-bers. Increasingly, you foresee a further step: quadruple-play services via convergent broadband fixed line and mobile lineservices through a single phone number.
Or you are a Community Leader or Town Designer. Youwould like to use broadband to upgrade the qualityof life, create new work opportunities, and deve-lop local services. Above all, you would like toreduce the social divide by reducing the digital divide.
Thus, you need a futureproof infras-tructure to meet all field configura-tions:
• Business Center Areas (high density)
• Residential Areas (dense and semi-dense)
• Multi-dwellings• Rural/Village
Each of them has its own challenges, in terms of density,length, and structure, and eachhas its own options and solutionswhich are available from Nexans,a proven expert in FTTx.
Expanding yourbroadband service offer…
Nexans does not offer just one cablingconcept to address the multiplicity of FTTx challenges, but offers a full family of products, network architectures, and field-proven end-to-end FTTx solutions,including:
• Micro cable solution for true optimiza-tion of existing infrastructure
• Ribbon cable solution for a high density network
• Aerial cable solution for fast ser-vice expansion and complementarybroadband services delivered via
the energy distribution network
• Loose tube cable solutionfor standard duct and directburied installation
More than just producing theright cable for the right FTTxenvironment, Nexans offersyou global expertise on acomplete infrastructure, sothat you can optimize yourlayout design, engineeringand installation:
• Assistance for NetworkEngineering: from feasibility
studies to rules for deployment
• Network PassiveInfrastructure Layout Design:
give us a city plan and we providethe details for a physical infrastructure
…requires a wide selection of cables,components and global expertise
• Cost modeling: we calculate the ultimatecost to subscribers according to the optionchosen
• Bill of Materials: we provide a full list of all cables and components to simplifyprocurement
• Wide range of fiber cables: for aerial, underground and duct installation
• All passive components: interconnec-tion technologies, such as splicing, cross-connecting and termination
• Full choice of active equipment: mediaconverters, Customer Premises Equipment,and fiber switches
• Field expertise based on FTTx deploymentin various configurations (FTTN, FTTC,FTTB, FTTH, FTTU), i.e. fiber to the node,curb, building, home and user

to deliver high speed broadband
RURAL/VILLAGE:for a better quality of life.
Rural end-users are entitled to
broadband. CAPEX optimization is
critical here because of low popula-
tion density. Nexans offers:
• Blown micro cables
• Ribbon cables
• Interconnection solutions combi-
ning individual fiber management
and mid-span access
BUSINESS CENTER AREA:for higher competitivenessand attractiveness.
True broadband access makes your
local business area more attractive
and productive. Metropolitan sur-
roundings call for:
• Blown micro cables for re-use of
existing ducting infrastructure
• High-density cabling to get maxi-
mum fibers in minimum space
• Structured vertical risers to the fiber
switch

Whether you call it thefirst or last kilometer/mile,
the local loop, or theaccess network, the last part
of the telecom network is itsmost primitive link. However, it must
be spanned if you are to:
• deliver true broadbandto residential and business customerswho are clamoring for triple-play services(broadband, telephone, TV), in additionto wireless access (quadruple play)
• reduce the social divide by closingthe digital divide, thus giving individuals,businesses and communities a chanceto expand opportunities for work andleisure.
The time has come to cost-effectivelyreach the individual customer or compa-ny by bridging that last critical gap.
The time has come to movebeyond the backbone
