Fiber to the Building offers service providers the opportunity to provide multiple services to home users over IP. Our Beginning with FTTB solution will show you how to set up a powerful data delivery backbone using a minimum of capital investment, and delivering huge gains on your existing legacy networks (DSL, ADSL, T1 etc).
This solution is suitable for deployment in urban or suburban environments, where residential accommodation is grouped reasonable close together, for example in multiple-tenant buildings. In this example we will be talking about the infrastructure required for a small ISP to connect users to its data service.
From the NOC (Network Operations Center) at the service provider side, an efficient way is needed to connect users while maintaining quality of service, ease of maintenance, and speed of connection. With the great advantages offered by fiber, it makes sense to connect all but the last few meters over fiber cable, eliminating problems of interference, distance, and lightning. The all-fiber NSH-5632 is an advanced Layer 3 switch, and makes the perfect demarcation switch at the Aggregation level. With powerful traffic management functions, the great advantages of this switch over lesser alternatives is the ability to shape traffic, ensure security, and boost reliability.
Each NSH-5632 gives you up to 24 connections to the next layer down, the NSH-5509. As a compact Layer 2 switch, the NSH-5509 has one fiber port to connect to the NSH-5632, together with eight downlink copper ports to connect to the customer site. At the customer side, an RJ-45 socket is provided to offer wired internet access to the end user. The entire network is remotely manageable from the NOC site, meaning your engineers no longer need to physically go to the customer site to fix any problems that may occur.
Our Beginning with FTTB offers a superb cost-effective way to create stable, reliable data networks. Furthermore any network set up along these lines is future-proof, in that more services and capacity can easily be added without having to relay new cable or change the locations of your aggregation and access points.
