Increasing complexity and costs
»
»
Introducing multiple services often
results in an exponential increase of
complexity, and thus exponential
increase in costs
Introducing multiple service
providers makes complexity even
greater
Traditional telecom systems weren’t
built to carry different types of
services with different kinds of
requirements on

Priority
Shaping
QoS
Security
Bandwidth
There is a risk that OPEX and
CAPEX will grow exponentially
with deployment of multiple
services and introduction of
multiple service providers!
Reduce
this gap!

Service innovation and ARPU
» How
increase the amount each end user spends on
broadband services?
» ….without
losing control of operational costs.

Open access per service
Open access – (multiple service providers that distribute
their services over a shared infrastructure) - stimulates
service development and innovation
thus improves
service take-rate and ARPU
»
»

»
Shares the risks and revenues of broadband deployment
Allows introduction of 3rd party service providers for full triple-play service offering
Encourages service development and service innovation
Enables service differentiation & service packaging
Gives end-user advantages in terms of increased flexibility in choice of service provider
and avoids lock-in-effects
Has positive effects on local development
Each service is treated individually
in terms of bandwidth, QoS,
security, priority etc. in
PacketFront’s broadband solution.

IPTV challenges
IPTV distribution in broadband networks is important as revenue
carrier and for its marketing value, but puts significant technical
requirements on the network:
»
Reserve access only to those subscribing to a
specific TV channel
»
Protect TV content from malicious users
»
Quality of service
»
Bandwidth limitations on the access line
»
Possibility for local TV providers to distribute
local content
February 2007

Proven IPTV solution

PacketFront’s solution addresses:
»
»
»
»
»
»
Restricted multicast access
Protection of TV channels from malicious users
Flexible adjustment of bandwidth; bandwidth set per service, not per access line
Service unbundling, allows channel unbundling
Multicast to conserve bandwidth
Self provisioning of TV channels through BECS and SSP
Bandwidth is isolated per service,
not per access line. Total unbundling
of TV services results in greater
flexibility in service differentiation

Out-of-data-path – control not a bottleneck
»
Capacity challenges
»
A solution where the service engine lies in the data path can never scale
• Limitations in capacity
• Limitations in service differentiation and manageability

Centralised or decentralised BRAS does not make
the difference

Getting out of the data path facilitates a scalable and future proof
solution for multiple services
• Separation of signalling and data traffic avoids capacity
limitations
• More advanced options for service differentiation when
not using the limiting PPPoE technology

»
Obsolete installed base. Multi-layer architectures with SDH/POS/ATM/IP.
Different access technologies with different systems for control and provisioning
Large amount of integration work needed for interaction between different
processes
Heavy work for provisioning a number of services and configurations
PacketFront solution
»
»
»
»
»
»
»
All-IP solution reduces investment and support cost
One single solution for control and provisioning of services, independent of access
technology
Triple-play enabled from start, eliminates need to re-invest for full service portfolio
Non blocking architecture – future proof
Integrated system reduces the need for integration work
Ownership of network infrastructure is separated from ownership of service
provider systems. Shared approach to finance broadband deployment
Services self-provisioning by end-users

Values of BECS
» Automates provisioning of software and configuration profile to all network elements (ASRs) in the network
» Reduces complexity with service registration. Services are registered only once in BECS, not per network
element (as in many other systems)
» Handles the complexity of IP address pools coming from multiple service providers – a prerequisite for an openaccess environment
» Enables advanced service differentiation as each service is treated individually in terms of bandwidth, priority,
security, QoS etc
» Placed out-of-data-path, avoiding bottlenecks in network traffic
