PMC-Sierra Introduces Stand-Alone VDSL2 Analog Front End

PMC-Sierra introduced an Analog Front End (AFE) for VDSL2 and ADSL2+ Customer Premises Equipment (CPE). The highly integrated CMOS device is a stand-alone VDSL2 AFE, enabling Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) to quickly bring to market VDSL2 modem or residential gateway products featuring extended rate/reach, full backwards compatibility to ADSL2+, and the elimination of the need for a discrete line driver and external power supply and clock components, thereby reducing BOM costs and real estate.



PMC-Sierra said its new PM4380 integrates a high-performance 5V line driver and offers extremely low transmit path distortion and noise floor. The receive path, including the integrated ultra-low noise amplifier, provides an input-referred noise density of -150dBm/Hz, while high-precision 16-bit data converters offer best-in-class performance on both receive and transmit chains. The low transmit and receive noise floors, combined with high-resolution data converters and integrated programmable receive equalizer and filters, reduce the need for complex and costly external filters to achieve optimum rate/reach performance. In addition, the device integrates a 16-bit digitally controlled crystal oscillator (DCXO) that provides better than 0.02 ppm frequency resolution, and an optional 1.8V regulator that allows the PM4380 to be used in a system that only provides 3.3V and 5V. By offering this leading-edge performance, the PM4380 device enables OEMs to deliver products that provide faster broadband connections over longer loop lengths.



PMC-Sierra today also introduced the PM4381 ADSL2+ AFE. The device is pin compatible with the PM4380, enabling vendors to produce cost-optimized ADSL2+ variants. The PM4381 interfaces directly to PMC-Sierra's MSP7120 ADSL2+ Multi-Service Processor, which integrates Aware, Inc.'s StratiPHY2+ IP, and provides a complete chipset for advanced residential gateways and Integrated Access Devices (IADs). http://www.pmc-sierra.com

• Earlier this year, PMC-Sierra acquired Passave Inc., a developer of system-on-chip semiconductor solutions for the Fiber To The Home (FTTH) access market. The Passave product line includes system-on-chip solutions for Optical Line Terminals (OLTs) for the Central Office, Optical Network Terminals (ONTs), and Optical Network Units (ONUs) solutions for residential termination equipment.

Using Pseudo-Wires for Mobile Wireless Backhaul over Carrier Ethernet

The continued evolution of mobile wireless services is toward technologies that are intrinsically packet-oriented, such as HSDPA and HSUPA, and indicative that packet access networks, rather than TDM-based T1s and E1s, are the logical transport for backhaul in the RAN. A number of new technologies that are cost-effective and provide flexible, high-capacity backhaul transport are emerging as the frontrunners for next-generation packet access networks. These new technologies include Carrier Ethernet (also known as Metro Ethernet or Optical Ethernet), xDSL, cable HFC, EPON/GPON, and broadband packet radio (including WiMAX. Pseudo-Wire solutions not only enables mobile wireless operators to use new packet access networks, it also gives operators a choice among multiple packet network technologies in the RAN, including Carrier Ethernet, xDSL, cable HFC, and even broadband packet radio.)

Redefining Broadband Wireless Economics through Synchronous Mesh Networking

Mesh networking provides a completely new way of looking at wireless networking economics. Mesh networks can address the two major areas of cost for traditional point-to-multipoint topologies. First, mesh networks can use wire Wireless backhaul to minimize the expense of leased facilities and eliminate trenching. Second, mesh base stations are a fraction of the cost of macro-cell base stations, which makes extending coverage out to suburban and rural areas incremental and profitable.

Fujitsu Debuts FLASHWAVE 6100 GPON Platform

Fujitsu Network Communications announced the availability of its new FLASHWAVE 6100 Gigabit Passive Optical Networking (GPON) platform. The Fujitsu offering leverages the company's global expertise in access networking, provides far higher density than current BPON systems and promises seamless integration with existing networks.



The Fujitsu GPON family consists of the FLASHWAVE 6100 Optical Line Terminal (OLT) and a series of FLASHWAVE 6100 Optical Network Terminals (ONTs). The FLASHWAVE 6100 platform supports dual- and quad-port GPON cards within a 9U (15.75") chassis to provide broadband services to up to 10,240 homes and businesses per standard rack. It provides full compliance with the ITU-T G.984 standard.



To complement the FLASHWAVE 6100 OLT system, the FLASHWAVE 6100 series ONTs address a variety of premises needs. All Fujitsu GPON ONT solutions include an integrated Multimedia over Coax Alliance (MoCA) interface, which uses existing coaxial wiring within a home to provide a broadband distribution network.



In addition to the new GPON service units, the FLASHWAVE 6100 platform supports all service interface cards from the widely deployed FLASHWAVE 4100 Multi-Service Provisioning Platform (MSPP). This capability gives service providers the option of deploying traditional MSPP, Ethernet, and GPON services from a single multi-service access node. The integrated Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) gateway function enables the provisioning of both packet and TDM services, allowing providers to manage the transition to a carrier-class packet-based network efficiently, and, most importantly, on their own timeframe.



The FLASHWAVE 6100 GPON system provides 2.488 Gbps of downstream bandwidth and 1.244 Gbps of upstream bandwidth, allowing for residential speeds of up to 75 Mbps per home.



http://us.fujitsu.com/telecom

• In February 2006, Fujitsu Network Communications unveiled a Hybrid Gigabit Passive Optical Networking (GPON) architecture and industry vision that incorporates several enhancements, including higher downstream/upstream speeds, support for native transport of Ethernet and TDM services via Generic Encapsulation Method (GEM), and the option to eliminate legacy ATM. Fujitsu said its Hybrid GPON architecture allows cost-effective and efficient capacity upgrades without requiring changes to previously deployed GPON Optical Network Terminals (ONTs). Available as part of the initial GPON product release, the Fujitsu Hybrid GPON option is fully G.984 compliant, utilizing the same GPON protocol, downstream rates, and upstream rates. Since most of the cost of a PON architecture is in residential ONTs and associated installation and labor costs, substantial savings are produced by eliminating the requirement to upgrade the ONTs.

Vodafone Outlines Strategic Objectives

Vodafone reported an annual loss of £21.9 billion (US$41 billion) -- believed to be the largest amongst European operators, and outlined five key strategic objectives to transform the company into a total communications provider more able to handle intensifying price competition and regulatory pressure. Most of the loss was attributed to write-downs for the company's operations in Germany and Italy.

Vodafone also noted a number of key operational milestones:

• a total customer base of 170.6 million, with organic growth of 15% for the year



• mobile voice usage increased by 25% to 178.3 billion minutes, with organic growth of 19%.



• non-messaging data revenue grew by 61% to £0.8 billion

Vodafone's five strategic objectives are:

• Reduce costs and stimulate revenues in Europe -- Vodafone has taken the decision to outsource its IT Application Development and Maintenance activities with likely savings of approximately 25-30% within 3 to 5 years against current annual costs of £560 million. Further initiatives include the centralization of Network Supply Chain Management activities, with expected savings of 8% within 2 years, against a £3.3 billion annual external spend today. Also, Vodafone's regional consolidation of its data centres is expected to provide savings of 25-30% within 3-5 years, against a £320 million annual cost today.
  
  
  
  Regarding revenue stimulation, Vodafone aims to drive additional usage of voice and data services within its existing, sizable European base of customers. A variety of services are currently being rolled out as part of this effort, with high value customers being migrated from prepaid to contract plans, the introduction of "family plans" designed to stimulate greater usage, greater promotion of its Vodafone Passport roaming plan



• Deliver strong growth in emerging markets -- Vodafone highlighted the benefits of establishing a dedicated business unit focused on capturing growth in these markets



• Innovate and deliver on customers' total communications needs -- Vodafone's New Businesses unit will focus initially on three streams of activity, which together will be known as "Mobile Plus". The first stream is focused on extending Vodafone's service offerings in the home and at the office to meet customers' growing voice and broadband data service needs, including the provision of DSL. Vodafone Germany has today announced that it will launch bundled homezone products with DSL access provided by Arcor, in the third quarter of the current financial year. The second stream is focused on the integration of the mobile, PC and the internet at the application level, offering seamless interoperability of services. The third area of focus seeks to introduce advertising based services and business models that customers will view as the most appealing and acceptable.



• Actively manage the portfolio to maximise returns -- the company will dispose of assets where it believes it cannot earn a superior return or investing in businesses where it believes it can create substantial additional value for shareholders.



• Align capital structure and shareholder returns policy to strategy -- announced an increased, 60% dividend payout of adjusted earnings per share for FY05/06. Vodafone will continue to target a 60% payout in the future, with increases in dividends linked to the increase in its underlying earnings per share.
