Getting Fiber Deployed

Technology Choices

• FTTP vs FTTN• Active vs Passive• GPON vs EPON• Factors driving choice include:

– Deployment costs– Capacity– Ability to support open access networks and

unbundling– Scalability

Who Will Provide Fiber in Your Community?• LEC – Your existing telephone company?• CLEC – A competitive telecom company?• Cable – Your existing cable company?• Municipal – Your city government through a

utility or joint venture• Developer – To new residential development

areas• Or maybe a unique partnership?

Minnesota Fiber Deployments

MN FTTP Deployment• Existing Municipal

– Windom• Longtime cable TV provider upgrades to FTTH and offers triple play

– Cross Lake• Longtime municipal teleco and cable provider upgrades to FTTH and offers

triple play• Planned Municipal

– Monticello • Has passed referendum and is preparing to sell bonds for municipal utility

– Red Wing • Is considering options

– Iron Range FiberNet• A joint powers group considering an open access network

– St. Paul• City Council just adopted a task force recommendation to deploy fiber in

stages rather than move forward on citywide wireless

More FTTP Projects• CLEC Fiber Projects

– Cohasset/Grand Rapids by Paul Bunyan Telephone Cooperative financed through RUS

– Brainerd/Baxter by Consolidated Telephone Company – CTC leveraged with school district as anchor tenant

– Wabasha (Hiawatha Broadband)• LEC

– Multiple deployments with network upgrades and greenfield development primarily by independents and Frontier Communications

• Developer– FTTH in Rosemount, Hugo and other suburban locations. These

franchises are in the midst of an ownership change.• Nationally

– Verizon is the nation’s leading deployer of FTTP networks– Qwest is committed to a FTTN strategy in states with statewide video

franchising

Open Access Networks: One Network, Many Providers• Open Access Networks

– Utilize one wholesale provider to own, maintain and operate the network

– Opportunity for multiple providers to provide retail services, whether voice, video and/or data as well as niche services

• A portion of the 700 Mhz spectrum up for auction may be utilized as open access wireless

Making Full Use of Fiber

• Even with FTTP, some providers are not offering “big bandwidth” services– Windom – 5 Mbps– Cross Lake – 1 Mbps– Verizon - 5, 15 or 30 Mbps– International – 40 Mbps or more

• Local users have not changed their practices to take full advantage of the services

Wireless

Increasing Mobility, Increasing Capabilities, Increasing Value

Wireless Types

• Wi-Fi• Wi-Max• Fixed Wireless• Cellular

• Devices are increasingly made to use multiple services– IPhone can use wi-fi for calling– Cellular data can be used to connect laptops and home

networks

Wi-Fi• Short range, moderate speed service• Unlicensed frequencies• Offered for free in coffee shops, campuses, hotels

and tourist areas• Significant use within homes and businesses for

networking• Municipal deployments are increasing

– Minneapolis - Moorhead– St. Louis Park - Chaska

• Frontier Communications in Burnsville

Wi-Max

• Longer range, medium speed (3-5 Mb)• Licensed frequencies• Offers promise of mobility and roaming• Wi-Max can be used for wireless backbone• Major corporate backing

– Sprint – Clearwire partnership– Intel and other vendor backing

• Alternative to DSL and cable modems for home and business

Fixed Wireless

• Longer range, medium speed • Generally unlicensed frequencies• Generally deployed on city water

towers to serve community and surrounding area

• External antennas required• Line of sight generally required

Cellular Data• Offered by national providers

– Sprint, Verizon, ATT, others

• Increasing speed– 1 Mb now, soon up to 3 Mb

• Proliferation of mobile devices and applications– GPS– Smart phone/Blackberries/PDAs

Applications

Driving Demand for Bandwidth

Blandin Light Speed Grant Program• Designed to overcome barriers to

application development– Equipment– Software– Training

• Four projects recently funded

Education Applications• Windom

– Empower and train students to create local video content and make this content available online and over cable

– Encourage local teachers to create content for distribution over the regional and state education network

• Little Crow– Purchase equipment to enable store and forward of

online and video conference curriculum– Increase availability of local content, including cultural

and sporting events, for online viewing

Health Care Applications

• Home and Community Options – Winona– Group home operator will use HBC fiber network to

monitor facilities and residents via sensor and video– Use high speed networking for network operations,

including back-up, file sharing and training

• Lakewood Health System – Staples– Use remote monitoring, both video and instruments,

to maintain contact with and improve monitoring of post-surgical and long-term patients in their homes
