Infrastructure Sharing In Practice:

Sharing Copper and Fiber

HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD.

Why Open Access: Revolution, Competition & Innovation

Open Access make revolution of network
construction

Traditional network is monopoly

The NBN Infrastructure includes the Active
network and Passive network, make RSP&APP
got more chance to competition

Traditional Mode

Open Access Mode

Payback period is lower for RSPs

Traditional networks payback period is long time.
Open Access mode lower the doorsill of RSP.

Open Access Mode: Physical and Bitstream Mode

Bitstream Mode (layer 2 Open Access): Suitable for FTTx, P2MP architecture
RSP

Active Net.

Operator constructs the Active Network& Passive Network, and wholesale the
bitstream to RSPs.
More and More NBN FTTx network adopts this Mode: Malaysia HSBB, Singapore
NGNBN, BT OpenReach and Australia NBN

Passive Net.

Physical Mode (layer 1 Open Access): Widely used in Europe copper era

It is called LLU (Loopback Line Unbundling), which is derived by the regulation

for broken the monopoly.

LLU Copper Sharing

Full Mode
Communications Providers have total
responsibility for the relationship with
their customer, while Openreach provides
maintenance for the local loop and responds
to fault reports

Shared Mode
the end user has contracts with both the
narrowband provider (WLR CP) and the
LLU Communications Provider.

LLU Fiber Sharing

Pros:
No duplication on the
infrastructure deployment
Cons:
Big initial investment on the
infrastructure, ROI is a doubt
Limited to GPON architecture

Pros:
Share the initial investment
and risk
Cons:
Lose the control to OLOs
Limited to GPON
