No matter what you call it, adding fiber to the local loop is a major strategic initiative for a number of carriers. Fiber to the customer premises represents the ultimate broadband connection for the end user, and promises to help carriers deliver value-added services while increasing the average revenue per user. While a great deal of attention is focused on the outside plant (OSP) implications of FTTX deployment, FTTX creates a number of critical issues at the central office (CO), including: • Space reclamation as higher-density fiber frames and WDM equipment require a larger footprint than POTS equipment • Upgrades to passive and active network equipment elements • Infrastructure. | ADC PROFESSIONAL SERVICES ADC FTTX Service Pack Faster deployments Increased reliability Improved flexibility and scalability FTTP.

While a great deal of attention is focused on the outside plant OSP implications of FTTX deployment FTTX creates a number of critical issues at the central office CO including Space reclamation as higher-density fiber frames and WDM equipment require a larger footprint than POTS equipment Upgrades to passive and active network equipment elements Infrastructure build-out to support high-density equipment Changes in primary and secondary power demands FTTX deployment is more than OSP Unless the CO is optimized for FTTX services can t be delivered efficiently. The FTTX Service Pack from ADC addresses this critical component of FTTX deployment. The FTTX Service Pack is a professional services bundle designed to help carriers optimize their COs. It s a modular approach that blends the best of ADC s services customized for FTTX. The ADC FTTX Service Pack is made up of three service levels LEVEL ONE A FTTX readiness assessment to determine whether a CO is ready for FTTX deployment or if it needs minor or major modification to support FTTX LEVEL TWO Completion of any minor modifications needed at the time of assessment or shortly thereafter LEVEL THREE Completion of major modifications which could include engineering furnishing and installation EF I commissioning integration decommissioning and removals to optimize the CO Carriers that demand quality and consistency from their networks will benefit from ADC s FTTX Service Pack. Regardless of the size and scope of deployment ADC can .
