The Need for Fiber Access
It’s all about Bandwidth!!!Video will drive Bandwidth for the foreseeable futureBandwidth usage doubles every 18 to 24 monthsMPEG4 offers some relief (18 to 24 months?)
How Much Bandwidth is enough?Probably more than you think.
5Calix Confidential & Proprietary
The Need for Fiber Access
What is special about Fiber Access?Fiber is fundamentally different from copperWe are at the limit for bandwidth over copper Double the bandwidth and halve the reach
We are decades away from any limitations on fiber We are at 2.4 Gbps today Fiber can support over 100 Terabits per second without reducing
the reach
Eventually, every operator will deploy fiber...It’s just a matter of time

The Choices for Fiber AccessThere are 2 choices for Fiber Access:
Point to PointPoint to Multi-point
Point to Point is sometimes called Active EthernetPoint to Multi-point is called PON (passive optical network)

PON is analogous to wireless telephony (cellular)Active Ethernet is analogous to wireline telephony
Both CapEx and OpEx cost savings favor PON

Developing the Standard
The first step to writing a standard is to choose the Standards BodyThe 2 primary players for networking standards are:
IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers)ITU (International Telecommunications Union)
14Calix Confidential & Proprietary
The IEEE
IEEE well known Protocols802.3 Ethernet802.11 WiFi802.16 WiMAX
IEEE Membership is diverseSystem vendors, chip vendors, optics vendors, industry cunsultants and academia
IEEE VotingEach member gets one voteNo limit to the number of votes from a given company
“Personality” of IEEE standards reflect interests of VendorsOften leads to low-cost solutionOften only hits 80% of marketOften doesn’t produce migration strategy
IEEE standards don’t necessarily reflect Operator Preferences
15Calix Confidential & Proprietary
The ITUITU well known Protocols
SDHV 5.2ISDNVoIP protocols H.248 and H.323
ITU MembershipMembership controlled by ITU Member-CountriesMembership open to Operators, Institutions, and Vendors
ITU VotingVoting is through consentEach company get one voteCompanies can object (but can’t stall process)
“Personality” of ITU standards reflect interests of OperatorsAddresses the operator requirementsAddresses the operator constraintsAddresses the service provider’s operational modelsNot focused solely on low costDuration of Standardization Process relatively short
16Calix Confidential & Proprietary
The ITU and FSANIn the late 1990’s a “Clandestine” group of operators was formed:
Objective: “Global Domination of the Fiber Access Market”The group called itself FSAN
17Calix Confidential & Proprietary
The FSAN Committee
FSAN stands for Full Service Access NetworkLoosely affiliated with the ITUDevelops all PON standards prior to submission to the ITUFSAN membership consists of both operators and vendorsBut operators make all final decisionsMembership of vendors is tightly controlled by FSAN Operators

The Market Opportunities for GPON
There are Numerous Market Opportunities for GPONLower OpExGreater Service OfferingFuture-proof investment
The real question is When and Where does it make economic sense to deploy GPON
The quickest application appears to be the Developer Market and ‘Smart FTTH’ Communities

Competing for Developers
New home developments have become the fastest growth Fiber-to-the-Home market
Master planned communitiesMulti-tenant buildingsResort communities
New service providers (developer integrators) are competing in this market against incumbents
Innovative and fast moving companiesStrong IP and project management experienceStrong ties to the developer and builder community
27Calix Confidential & Proprietary
Overview of the Developer Market
FTTH is now highly desired by Developers
FTTH communities are most prevalent in:West Coast (California, Las Vegas)Southeast (Florida, etc.)
U.S. integrators expanding intoCaribbeanLatin America
28Calix Confidential & Proprietary
U.S. Developer FTTP Market Size
1.5 million new homes per year are built in U.S. Source: U.S. Department of Commerce
50% are managed by Associations Source: U.S. Housing Census.
Half of these communities will deploy FTTP
29Calix Confidential & Proprietary
Who is the Competition?
Over 50 companies are now acting as developer integrators in the United States and the Caribbean
Many have formed partnerships with specific developers for all their projectsMany companies specialize in security or ISPsVery low overhead organizationsIn most cases these integrators out source one or more of their services
30Calix Confidential & Proprietary
Why Developers Choose Integrators
Developers want recurring revenue streams
Incumbents are perceived as unwilling to share revenue with developer
Incumbent telcos are seen as inflexible
Incumbents are perceived as not delivering newer service offerings
31Calix Confidential & Proprietary
What is Required to Compete?
Minimal requirementsFiber-to-the-Premise architectureDiverse video channel selection (IPTV or RF) News, movies, sports, etc
Voice (TDM or VOIP)High speed internet 10 Mb+
Additional offeringsHome networking and supportSecurity systemsVideo on demandCommunity/member web siteVideo doorman and camera integration
