As carriers begin deploying FTTX architectures, they are focusing a lot of attention on the outside plant (OSP) segment. And why not? This architecture presents many challenges with passive optical networking (PON) technology, thousands of distribution lines and connections, power and distance concerns, and so many other issues to address. Basically, the mindset is that if a problem is going to surface during the FTTX deployment, it will likely happen downstream. | Central Office Readiness Considerations for FTTX Deployment od LU CL œ Central Office Readiness Considerations Getting the central office FTTX-ready helps avoid unexpected problems during FTTX deployments As carriers begin deploying FTTX architectures they are focusing a lot of attention on the outside plant OSP segment. And why not This architecture presents many challenges with passive optical networking PON technology thousands of distribution lines and connections power and distance concerns and so many other issues to address. Basically the mindset is that if a problem is going to surface during the FTTX deployment it will likely happen downstream. But ADC believes there could be complexity lurking where carriers might least expect it back in the central office CO and is providing services to help identify avoidable issues. It s a fact that the CO though often overlooked in the planning stages of FTTX migration has a very distinct impact on the FTTX infrastructure in terms of inventory cable management physical space fiber characterization power plant passive and active elements and other issues that could negatively impact a deployment plan. With these issues in mind ADC is aggressively and proactively working to make carriers aware of potential problems within the CO by creating a new service through its professional services group. The company has developed an FTTX service pack that provides solutions for potential problems before they can affect the FTTX deployment. The program is designed to help operators determine if their CO is FTTX-ready or if it requires any minor or major modifications. Operational issues within the CO may greatly affect the FTTX network as it gears up for services. Identifying and solving these issues early in the planning stages helps guard against major problems occurring within the CO as the network comes on line problems that could delay turn-up of services and add heavy additional expense to the overall system deployment. .
