Why the 7302 ISAM?

Why a Multi-Service IP DSLAM

BB Multi-Services is happening today

Attract more subscribers by offering more services

Increased business opportunities

by offering services to both residential and business customers

Increased average revenue per user

by offering existing customers access to value-added services

Increased total revenues

by increasing penetration and attracting new customers

Retain and grow of existing customer base

Assuring end-to-end quality of service.

Impact on Fixed Access of Multiservice evolution

1

Multi-service from the same access platform is key

Increasing need for bandwidth, resulting in

Access Network architecture evolving to IP Multi-Edge & Ethernet

New BB access technologies (Multi-ADSL, VDSL, FTTU)

Deep fiber & remotes deployment
Increased capacity in the DSLAM

Migration engaged with hybrid ATM/Giga Ethernet aggregation

DHCP is the end-game for VoIP, Video set top boxes, PPP remains for HSIA
Service enabled edge, ensuring security & guaranteed QOS

Central Office Access platform becomes also an Intelligent Multi-service hub

Centralized subscriber & access management

IP empowered (e.g. native multicast, IGMP proxy)
Optical Ethernet termination
