Abstract

Telstra is conducting a field trial of a fibre to the premises (FTTP) network delivering the triple play of services, voice, high speed data and video to residential customers. This paper describes the broadband passive optical network architecture employed in these Queensland trials. An assessment of the FTTP voice quality indicates that performance should at least match the PSTN for the majority of calls. This paper also describes design aspects of a cost-effective scalable video network which can support up to 800 MPEG2 channels on 80 64-QAVI channels.
