Telkom 40Mbps VDSL - pilot project timeline and locations revealed
The locations and planned commercial launch of Telkom’s VDSL trials
FROM TELKOM
Telkom’s Fibre –To –The-X Rollout
• Currently Telkom has DSL coverage for 93% of its POTS customer base
• To date Telkom has deployed 2700 DSLAMs and/or DLCs
o This deployment is enabled by ADSL and ADSL2+ technology
o This deployment can facilitate a range of broadband speeds up to 10Mbps
• Telkom is aiming to increase its FTTC rollout to 3700 points of presence across the country
o This deployment will enable VDSL and voice combo card technology
o This deployment will be facilitated by MSAN technology which is FTTH capable
• Telkom will deploy FTTH/B in selected areas across the country
o This deployment will be based on xPON technology
o Telkom will deploy greenfield network deployments where there is not an existing copper local loop and where there is a sufficient concentration of high-value customers
o Telkom will rollout FTTH/B in economically viable clusters, where the business case makes sense, such as office parks, residential buildings
o Telkom will also consider FTTH deployment in areas with very poor quality of copper access which would require significant reticulation investment to rehabilitate and where the business case makes sense to do so
Local Exchange Revamp
• Telkom currently hosts DSLAM technology in central offices
o This technology enables ADSL and ADSL+2 technology and offers speeds of up to 10Mbps
• Telkom’s revamp of the Local Exchange will see MSAN technology deployed to central office sites
o This technology enables xDSL and voice combo card technology
o The MSAN technology is FTTH capable
Telkom’s Local Loop
• The copper local loop is, on average, 1.8km in length
• Telkom will conduct a targeted rehabilitation of the copper network
• Telkom’s FTTX intervention will reduce the average copper local loop length to optimally provide speeds demanded by the market via VDSL2
The MSAN Solution
• Telkom has chosen FTTx using Multi Service Access Node as the solution to revamp the access network
• The MSAN provides the ability to enable different service types, which target various segments from the same access node
• MSAN enables future proof access technology as it addresses current and future demand requirements by being scalable and flexible
• MSAN is based on Next Generation technologies and is aligned with international standards.
• The MSAN specifications are based on evolving open standards, ensuring interoperability
• The MSAN is capable of supporting next generation xPon technology for FTTH
• The MSAN supports emerging voice protocols
