- Page 3 Your Opportunity in Ethernet over Copper Services Demand for more bandwidth and service sophistication continues to rise quickly across every telecom segment. For small/medium businesses, municipalities, and cellular operators, obtaining higher-bandwidth connectivity to the wide-area network is often difficult. The cost of running fiber to the premise is prohibitively high for many in these segments, limiting them to the same T1/E1- based services they’ve been using for years.
- Page 4 Customer Demand for Advanced Services The customer segments for which EFM-based services are potentially valuable fall into two distinct groups. The first and broader group consists of small and medium- sized organizations with inherently information- or communication-intensive activity. These organizations include commercial businesses as well as smaller public- sector entities such as municipalities and schools —...
- Page 5 Forecasts aggregated from across the telecommunications industry highlight clearly the magnitude of these changes in non-residential wireline and cellular data traffic — with 32% and an astounding 125% compound annual growth rates, respectively. Given the relatively slow growth in the population of SMOs and cell sites, the traffic per location looks set to continue rising substan- tially.
- Page 6 specification, coming out of the work of the Metro Ethernet Forum, is used primarily for core and distribu- tion network services over fiber and is not relevant to SMO and cell site target segments under consideration here. The last category, Pre-Standard Ethernet over Copper, refers to the proprietary technology for Ethernet on bonded copper loops that was originally developed by a small company named Net to Net in the late 1990s and...
- Page 7 r k s r a m b l e a s s e r n E t h e s s A c c v i c The EFM standard supports on-the-fly adaptation of bond groups, allowing the bonding of pairs with unequal rates, as well as hitless adds or drops of individual pairs from the group.
- Page 8 Services Enabled by EFM As the rate and reach achievable with EFM suggest, the most attractive application for the technology is simply the delivery of much higher bandwidth services for SMOs and cell sites at more affordable rates. As a rule of thumb, operators are able to offer profitable EFM band- width today at about 1/6 the service charge per Mbps of T1/E1.
- Page 9 The EFM standard’s provisions for configuration and management allow well-designed system software to make turning up carrier-class services on the equipment very straightforward. Zhone’s EFM Application Guide takes you from a sealed box of central office gear to bridged Ethernet service in just four simple steps — the first of which is “unpack the box and plug it in.”...
- Page 10 Upside beyond Bandwidth Note that in establishing back-of-the-envelope business case views of these three operator classes, the value of more advanced services (such as E-LAN connectivity or tiered performance and pricing based on SLA levels) has not been incorporated. Whether included as part of the baseline service in order to provide more tangible differ- entiation of the offer in an effort to gain share, or offered as incremental charges, the low cost of implementing...
