WORKSHOP

 

Optical Access Seamless Evolution (ICT-OASE)

 Experiences, results, lessons learned

 
Abstract:

The European Integrated Project OASE has during three years (2010-2012) examined Fibre-to-the-Home (FTTH) in a multi-disciplinary study by a consortium composed of major operators, industrial leaders in FTTH technologies, and European universities and research centres.

Requirements for next-generation access (NGOA) were first defined, observing end-user behaviour, analysing traffic patterns and service requirements, keeping into account regulation and the EC digital agenda, and examining business models constraints. The most promising technological solutions were then selected, further developed, and evaluated in detail against those requirements. Moreover the combination of those technological solutions with different business models was analysed, as well as their impact on FTTH deployment cost, profitability, end user benefit, FTTH penetration and take-up.

In this workshop the project results will be presented and future directions will be discussed.
