Case Study To compare the cost of the copper and fiber based access network. A 2400 unit green field township is selected for the exercise.
Total Cost of Ownership TCO ADSL $k ATM IP Physical 1,471 1,388 Electronics 5,342 10,531 6,495 Total Cost 6,813 11,919 7,883 Cost / User 2.838 4.966 3.285 Assumptions: 1- 2400 user. 2- Fully loaded system from day one. 3- Common costs are not included (Duct). 4- Physical for ATM & IP is based on blown fiber. 5- Triple play services to all customers.
Conclusions Based on the current prices IP fiber based solution is nearly the same as ADSL copper. Un like ATM & ADSL, IP prices tendency to go down by higher margin. IP is the future technology providing cost effective and flexible network.
Development Activities ATM fiber based solution trial currently under review. Triple play IP fiber based solution on MPLS demo currently in progress. Blown fiber technology trial completed successfully.
