Fibre for 5G: a story of convergence - Leaders in fibre best placed to lead in 5G

Brussels, 21 June 2018 – Today the FTTH Council Europe organised  an event on the convergence between fibre and 5G hosted by with MEP Michal Boni in the European Parliament. As wireless networks increasingly depend on fibre connectivity and the traditional “fixed” and “mobile” silos are breaking down, the FTTH Council Europe explores more in depth the synergies between Fibre and 5G.  

The FTTH Council Europe is therefore launching a novel, quantitative analysis to understand the potential cost savings which could be made by building converged, 5G-fibre networks and the cost of non-convergence, which would be ultimately paid by end-users.  The results of this study will be revealed at the FTTH Conference 2019 in Amsterdam (12-14 March).

Join our Webinar 'Socioeconomic benefits of fibre: the perspective of end-users'

The webinar, hosted by the FTTH Council Europe together with WIK Consult,  will be held on 23 April 2018, from 1pm to 2pm CEST.

Why do end-users choose fibre? What is their experience of migrating to fibre and how do they use fibre connectivity? The perspective of end-users will be explored by our new study based on a representative consumer survey and a discussion focusing on the consumer and business end-user experience.

Presenters: Karin Ahl, our Policy & Regulation Committee Chair and René Arnold from WIK-Consult

The FTTH MENA Market Panorama is a study conducted in 2017 by FTTH Council MENA and its partner IDATE to provide a complete summary of the FTTH/FTTB status in the MENA region, including the analysis of 17 MENA countries; distinction between architecture: FTTH/B vs FTTN (FTTN/C+VDSL, FTTLA, FTTx+LAN) and information on the national Broadband market e.g. national program.

It was released by the Fibre to the Home (FTTH) Council MENA, in partnership with IDATE Consulting, during its 9th annual conference, “FTTH, EMPOWERING THE DIGITAL VISION”, held under the Patronage of the Ministry of Communication Technolgies and Digital Economy of Tunisia.

Register for our webinar 'FTTH/B in a Virtualized & Software Defined Network'!

The webinar "FTTH/B in a Virtualized & Software Defined Network", organised by our Deployment & Operations Committee, will be held on 14 December 2017, from 11am to 12pm CET.

This webinar will provide an overview of the SDN/NFV in the context of FTTH/FTTB-based access solutions, and introduce several interesting Use Cases.

With the proliferation of FTTH deployments and the new next Generation with ultra-band capacity, service providers are facing the opportunity to simplify network architectures by making them more efficient, agile and flexible in order to meet the challenges of huge user bandwidth demands.  

Software Defined Networking (SDN) and Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) in conjunction with fibre deployments are the most important key enablers for Access Network Evolution and key instruments to lower the network’s total cost-of-ownership, in terms of the middle-term or long-term planning.  

Taking advantage from the High Bandwidth and symmetry that FTTH deployments permits, it is possible to move critical functions to cloud to allow multivendor network management, accelerate new service activation, scale from small to very large access nodes and consequently reduce CAPEX and OPEX.
