FIBER CABLE IN KUWAIT
Ministry of
Communication, State of Kuwait has issued Letter of Intent
for “Supply, Installation and maintenance of Telephone Networks
using Alcatel, France GPON technology according to
latest ITU Recommendations (G984.1, 2,3 & 4) and Taihan, Korea
OSP optical Fiber Network with accessories for New Housing Areas
and Rehabilitation of current Telephone Networks”.
Partners
:
1. M/s Alcatel – For FTTH
equipment source.
2. M/s Taihan Electric Wire Co.
Ltd. Korea – For optical fiber cables & passive Optical
Network Products.
Area
of Work :
LOI is issued to commence work in 6 areas as follows -
1. South Doha (New Area)
2. Sabah Al-Nasser (New Area)
3. Abdullah Al-Mubarak (West Jeleeb
Al-Shuyoukh) (New Area)
4. East Sulaibikhat (Phase
2-New Area)
5. Rabia (Rehabilitation of old Area)
6. Eshbilia (New Area)
Scope of work
:
Supply, Installation & Maintenance of Telephone PON (Passive
Optical Network) FTTH / FTTB equipment with Fiber Optic
Cables with all necessary material which shall include all basic
services (Narrow Band) in addition to value added services
(Broad Band). The system shall be capable to support triple play
services (voice, data & video). The required PON network shall
be the latest G-PON (Gigabit
Passive Optical
Network) technology.
Gigabit
PON (GPON) An Introduction:
•
A new solution has emerged into the optical access market place
–GPON (Gigabit PON), offering unprecedented high bit rate
support while enabling transport of multiple services,
specifically data and TDM, in native formats and at an extremely
high efficiency.
The main requirements as mentioned in ITU documents can be
summarized as follows:
•
Full Service Support – including voice (TDM, both SONET and SDH),
Ethernet (10/100 BaseT), ATM,
leased lines and more.
•
Physical reach of at least 20 km with a logical reach support
within the protocol of 60 km.
• Strong Operation Administration and Maintenance (OAM&P)
capabilities offering end to end service
management.
• Security at the protocol level for downstream traffic due to the
multicast nature of PON.
FTTH - System
Architecture:
•
Alcatel’s Fiber to the User (FTTU) solutions allow operators to
extend the core optical
network all the
way to the user, eliminating the bandwidth
bottleneck in the last
mile.
•
The solution support both residential and small business
customers, offering unprecedented voice, video
and data over a
single fiber.
•
The Alcatel 7342 Intelligent Services Access Manager Fiber to
the User (ISAM FTTU) is a fully standards-
compliant Gigabit
passive optical network (GPON) solution with twice as much
throughput as other Passive
optical network (PON) solutions.
•
Being highly scalable and flexible it provide service for more
than 2,300 subscribers when configured to
terminate 64
subscribers per PON facility.
•
Can transport ATM, Ethernet and IP protocols using GPON
encapsulation method (GEM) .
Next
Generation Network (NGN):
•
Next Generation Network is a packet-based network to provide
telecommunication services, makes use of
technologies in
which service-related multiple broadband QoS-enabled transport functions are
independent from underlying transport-related technologies.
•
It supports generalised mobility which will allow consistent and
ubiquitous provision of services to users.
•
Interworking with legacy networks via open interfaces
•
Converged services between Fixed/Mobile
•
Compliant with all regulatory requirements; for example
concerning emergency communications, security, privacy, lawful
interception.
TCIL’s
Proposed Network
Initial
deployment proposal consisted of a full end to end turnkey
project including:
The above figure depicts target solution in compliance with IMS/TISPAN.
The solution provides a user centric Broadband services delivery
environment having the flexibility to grow in both mobile and
fixed services as well as cost effective migration of installed
base.
