HFC Migration Planning
  • HFC will meet future Bandwidth Requirements- No need to overbuild existing plant


  • Operators may see future opportunities for FTTH in New Build or Greenfield


  •  Discuss Design Considerations for HFC Migration to FTTH
61

62
FTTH Network Architecture
63
Greenfield HFC to FTTH Migration Scenario
  • HFC Network will be Deployed Initially, with Planned Migration to FTTH Network in Future
  • With PON link distances <20 km, node point in the HFC network will become the LCP point in the FTTH network
  • Transition of transmission medium requires simultaneous operation of both HFC and FTTH systems
  • Following successful turn-up of Passive Optical Network (PON), the node and all copper cable plant can be retired
