Globally Fibre to the Premise (FTTP) has now reached over 1 billion subscribers worldwide accounting for 69% of all fixed line services. This has predominantly been achieved using Passive Optical Network (PON) topologies with current deployments typically supporting 2.5Gbit/s and 10Gbit/s aggregate speeds with options for 25Gbit/s speeds and above in the future.
The fibre infrastructure now deployed will be in-place for many years to come allowing speed upgrades when required. The next step is now to take advantage of these underlying networks to meet new markets and services. This workshop will discuss:
- How can high speeds be delivered efficiently within the premise? Do Fibre-to-the-Room (FTTR) and LiFi solutions also need to be considered as part of the service offering?
- Are there opportunities for closer integration with wireless networks?
- Can fibre access networks also be used for sensing applications?
- Could edge computing leverage fibre access networks?
