With the increasing mobile datatraffic this equation no longer works. Revenue per bit from data services isfar from what is used to be from voice services. Most Service Providers are nowincreasing their network capacity with Ethernet based backhaul while reducingexpenditure at the same time.

Ethernet Backhaul managementchallenges
Raw bandwidth without proper management only partly fulfills the ServiceProvider goals. With the deployment of Managed Ethernet Backhaul by applyingthe ITU Y.1731 standard for Performance Management and automated Service LevelAgreement (SLA) assurance the investment is secured – providing scalabilityinto the management that is needed when the network expands into thousands andtens of thousands of cell sites.

Rolling out new cell sites and provisioning new services is important butequally important is the management and handling of the end-to-end SLAs and OAMdata received from the networks. It’s fair to say that most software basedmanagement options are not even capable of the heavy lifting required when OAMdata from tens of thousands cell sites start to flood in. Some of the solutionsmight fall short already in the turn-up phase staggering with too many manualstages in the provisioning process causing either slowness into the deploymentor even grinding it into a complete halt. What worked fine in the labenvironment might prove impossible to execute in real-world dimensions with aninsufficient solution.

Creanord EchoVault MAX -Scalable Ethernet Backhaul with SLA assurance
Automation is the key when deploying end-to-end SLA and OAM between thousandsof sites. EchoVault MAX delivers this promise through Plug and Go Zero Touch -with the speed and accuracy that is needed when rolling out large scaleEthernet Mobile Backhauls.

It’s all about giving the customer what they want, not just what you have on the shelf, this is our key differentiator in the market.

On the 22nd of January 1991 Fibre Technologies started life in its founder’s garage, selling test equipment for SDH and low speed converters. Now, on the 22nd of January 2011, Fibre Technologies Limited “FTL” is still supplying low speed converters for legacy installations all the way to 10 Gig DWDM systems; a multimillion pound company supplying leading edge solutions to the private and public sector; companies, local government and the two largest Telecoms operators in the UK. FTL have continued year on year with measurable growth.

So what do the next 20 years look like? We have gone from low speed nx64kbps to 40 Gigabits today. 100 Gigabits has moved “out of the lab” and is being installed already. Will science and technology bring us Tachyons (FTL) faster than light? Who knows?

The next 12 months will see FTL launching our Access Control Division “FTL Secure Solutions” www.ftlsecuresolutions.co.uk bringing you access and building control systems, with a NACOS Gold installation team, 24x7x365 monitoring and 4 hour on-site response.

This year you will also find us re-launching “Fibre Distribution” www.fibredistribution.co.uk.

Fibre Distribution has been set up to deliver what you want now, with stock and online ordering.

I would just like to say thank you to our current customers, and come and give us a try to new ones.

This year Fibre Technologies will be sponsoring a Mount Everestclimb with our good friend James Ketchell. You may remember earlier this yearJames rowed the Atlantic solo and raised ?9,000 for the NSPCC, taking 110days.

Next year “April 2011” James is attempting to climb to thesummit of the world’s tallest mountain, following in the footsteps of SirEdmund Hilary and Tenzing Norgay, who became the first people to summit MountEverest on May 29^th 1953.

James’s chosen charity is “The Elifar Foundation” http://www.elifarfoundation.org.uk/

The name ELIFAR stands forEvery Life Is For A Reason, a philosophy which serves to remind us all thateveryone deserves to enjoy the minimum standards of comfort and happiness inlife, though for those with severe disability these are often not easily achieved.
The financial, physical and emotional cost to themand their families is enormous and any help we can give will often be lifechanging, and always gratefully received.

Further information donations and sponsorship opportunities canbe found at http://www.jamesketchell.net/

If James reaches the summit, he will be the first person tohave rowed the Atlantic Solo and to have summited Mount Everest, the questionis, what will be next?

Fibre Technologies are extremely happy to be supporting Jamesand the Elifar Foundation, as sometimes we forget how lucky we really are.

Intelligent Content Networking

Executive Summary

The rapid growth of consumer Internet traffic, mainly due toincreased viewing

of video content via their broadband connections (known as ?Over-the-Top?

Video or OTT Video), is driving increased stress on serviceprovider networks

and business models. The frequency, duration, and resolution ofcontent

requests are increasing, which has a dramatic effect onbandwidth requirements.

As we enter into the era of Hyperconnectivity, more and moredevices

are accessing this rich content anywhere, and at anytime. Demandis accelerating

quickly as more content (for example mainstream movies and TVshows) is

becoming available and broader set of Internet-connected devicesare able to

access it.

The ability to manage the delivery of certain content types andreduce

bandwidth requirements over Middle Mile, core, and Internettransit networks

can improve profitability for service delivery. IntelligentContent Networking

reduces the strain on the network and improves the userexperience by serving

a broad range of popular, frequently accessed content closer tothe subscriber,

reducing service delivery and internet transit bandwidthrequirements.

Video Takes Over

From peer-to-peer downloads to online gaming, from instantmessaging to

email, from web to video the amount of internet traffic isgrowing significantly.

Video content is rapidly changing the composition of consumerinternet traffic

and is anticipated to make up nearly 60% of requests by 2014.The growth of

video will continue as subscribers? viewing habits change frombroadcast to

on-demand?at home and on mobile devices?and with higherdefinition

and increased availability of mainstream content, such as moviesand television

series, being offered via the Internet.

Is your network ready for next wave of Internet traffic?

The prevalence of IP-based video has greatly affected the makeupof the packets

traversing a residential internet connection which now includesmultimedia

content, communications, and data; it is the primarycommunications link to

many residences.

Operators and Users Win with Intelligent Content Networking

Irrespective of the type, OTT content puts significant stress onthe network

because it must traverse internet peering connections, corenetwork infrastructure,

Middle Mile connections, and finally the access network to bedelivered.

An individual subscriber?s request for video content, where auser is highly

utilizing their connection for a long period of time, has acompound effect on

the network as subscribers? linear-based requests areaggregated, causing

network congestion and sub-optimal quality of experience (QoE).

The traditional approach to address bandwidth growth, reducecongestion,

and ensure customer satisfaction is via incremental networkoverlays and

increased Internet transit capacity. This is effective toaddress bandwidth

requirements, but it?s not efficient from an economic standpointas overlays

drive additional CAPEX and OPEX. Considering that the averagerevenue per

user (ARPU) will stay static (if not diminish with increasedcompetition), this

continued investment fuels a divergence of cost and revenue,leading to less

profitable service offerings.

Secondly, as a subscriber?s internet connection usage grows morebandwidthintensive

with OTT and other sources of video, the experience willdeteriorate.

This is based on time to download and view content as well assystem response

times for control commands (play, pause, etc.). As expectationscontinue to

become more difficult to meet, more service complaints will belogged and

subscriber churn will increase as they move to competitiveservice offerings.

An alternative content delivery approach, that is beneficial toboth service

provider and customer, is needed. This approach will need todeliver content

effectively and efficiently, provide a high QoE for theend-customer, and limit

the service providers? requirements to augment the network.
