21. Portugal
As of September 2012, Vodafone has over 35,000 customers on FTTH access.
Alface project has been running commercially since September 2010, Libra project has been running commercially since March 2011
Since September 2012, we have 476,000 homes passed.
FTTH GPON is the technology used, with analogue/digital video overlay.
Geneva, 22 September 2012

22. Capacity
FTTH deployments offer much higher bit rates to customer. Vodafone Portugal base offer is 50/5 Mb/s, with Internet Profiles up to 400/40 Mb/s to Residential subscribers.
About 80% of our installed base subscribe to IPTV services. On-demand TV service (RestartTV) has increased the overall backhaul traffic and traffic per user.
Some copper deployment is not suitable to deploy these bit-rate demanding services as VDSL2 is not viable
Geneva, 22 September 2012

23. Interoperability
OLT vendors already offer integrated gateways, but with few functionalities - today these gateways can’t replace the already deployed CPE + L2 ONT, they are expensive and they can’t work in a multi-vendor environment.
Vodafone’s goal is to have an integrated Home Gateway (similar to DSL) that can interoperate in a multi-vendor environment. This will reduce acquisition and retention costs, the amount of equipment installed in customer premises and simplify logistics.
Geneva, 22 September 2012

24. Other European Projects
Vodafone Germany has two FTTC trials under way in the cities of Wuerzburg and Heilbronn.
Vodafone Italy is starting a project to deliver FTTH services with GPON technologies in Milan by using the Metroweb fiber network

Vodacom South Africa is staring a project for delivering FTTH services to business and high spending residential customers using GPON technology
Geneva, 22 September 2012

36. Australia and New Zealand
In Australia, NBN Co will deploy 181,000 km of GPON network, and 57,000 km of transit backhaul. Aerial drop fibre to be used for 25% of households
Provides a bitstream service with equal service terms to all ISPs, including Telstra, which will lose control of the copper. High interest in an open PON solution to overlap to their initial GPON in order to give ISP freedom to install their own OLT at the Central Office
In New Zealand, the government is deploying a NZ$1.5 billion UFB (Ultra Fast Broadband Initiative) access fibre network through Crown Fibre Holdings (CFH). FTTH to be available to 75% (800,000 homes and businesses ) of the New Zealand market by 2019
Vodafone New Zealand will buy Layer 2 products from the LFCs to deliver FTTH in the retail market. GPON for residential and point to point for large businesses. 100Mbps down and 50Mbps up.
