20. FTTH and Society FTTH and Society
The NetGeneration Family on a rainy Sunday Afternoon:
Dad:
Updates his Laptop with Vista Service Pack 2 (360 Mbyte download)
Uploads his photos, videos and presentations of a conference for his colleagues (634 Mbyte)
Mum:
Video-Skypes with a former school colleague living 600 km away
Daughter (7 Years)
Just selected 4 new songs for PlayStation 3 SingStar in online store (253 Mbyte)
Son (3 Years)
Found (with help of dad) 4 nice HQ video clips about Dinosaurs and want to watch them
All: simply complain!
FTTH would give them the up- and download capaticity when they need it!

Usage of FTTH-services has positive impact on environment
Less communing and therefore less traffic
Less business travels
Less long distance transport of patients
Key Results of a study of PriceWaterhouseCoopers/Ecobilan:
The environmental impact of the deployment of a typical FTTH network will be positive within less than 15 years in average
Intelligent deployment (e.g. using sewers and existing ducts) can even improve the positive impact of FTTH
Using FTTH and FTTH services save CO² equivalent of driving with a car 4,600 km per year – for every household!

Next Step: FTTH Council Europe together with PwC created a “Configurator” which allows to calculate the specific impact of every FTTH-network
Network operators/planners/deployers can therefore:
Calculate the environmental footprint of their network
Optimise the deployment for perfect environmental benefits
Compare the network with other projects
Prove the positive environmental impact of their network to the stakeholders

31. Why fiber?

32. The need for fiber The need for fiber
Access bitrate demand continues to grow exponentially
Bitrate demand is driven by both sustainable throughput and latency requirements
Bitrates of 100 Mbit/s and above can only be provided by fiber
True broadband access will be synonymous with FTTH
The need for fiber

33. What does FTTH Stand For?
FTTH means
High guaranteed bandwidth per user
High upload bandwidth
High Quality of Services
End game technology for broadband
Advantages of FTTH:
No strict distance restrictions
No shared bandwidth
No network-bottlenecks
No latency-problems
No cross talk
Real bandwidth instead of „up to“
