"Delivering Carrier Ethernet: Extending Ethernet Beyond the LAN"


Triple Play with 10PASS-TS
10PASS-TS is an ideal technology for delivering triple-play services to residential customers.
Or, more accurately, the ???next-generation??? 10PASS-TS (utilizing VDSL2 instead
of VDSL) is ideal for triple-play services. The technology can be used in a highly
asymmetric mode, allowing as much as 100 Mbps of bandwidth downstream. More
realistically, it is likely to be deployed at rates of 20??“30 Mbps downstream (because
the reach is much longer). In the typical deployment, there will be fiber connecting a
remote terminal (RT) to a central office, and copper-only connectivity from the RT to the
subscriber. Gigabit Ethernet 1000BASE-X (or PON) is likely to be used from a central
office to the RT, with 10PASS-TS from the RT to the subscriber. By deploying from an
RT, copper loops are shorter and can provide higher bandwidth services.
Riser Extensions with 10PASS-TS
Similarly to the triple-play application, 10PASS-TS is ideally suited to in-building ???up the
riser??? applications. Here, there is typically an Ethernet switch or add-drop multiplexer
in the basement of an office or apartment building. 10PASS-TS can be used to deliver
very high-bandwidth services to each tenant of the building using the phone lines that
are already in place.
