CASE STUDY – Building Effective GPON


The case study shows you an example of a GPON solution how to build a network with maximum speed.	For viewing images correctly, please, click here.

Hi there!

We would like to show you the Case Study from North Wales where our products were used to create a network with broadband connectivity with maximum speed.

The Client Wanted Broadband Connectivity without Compromise

The client was the owner / proprietor of “Conwy Lodge Park” based on the outskirts of Conwy town in North Wales, and he had a very clear strategy and a vision for the Luxury Park. A part of that vision was to have the ability to deliver Super Fast & Ultra Fast Broadband to each and every lodge across the whole site.

We’ve Chosen a Gigabit Passive Optical Network and Fibre to the Lodge

GPON has only passive light transmission components in the access network with active components only in the central office and the customer premise equipment. It is also important to point-out that GPON provides 2.5 Mbps of bandwidth downstream and 1.25 Gbps upstream shared by a maximum of 64 users and also a reach up to 60 km.

Other benefits of GPON:

GPON reduces demand on duct space from Central Office, splitting further down the line.
Provides on demand high bandwidth capacity to the client.
Has lower plant maintenance and operating costs.
Has longer physical and economic lifespan.
Is Fast & Quick to deploy.
Can upgrade and expand network very easily.

We Made a Clear Plan How to Construct the Network with a Potential of Future Expansion

The park benefited from a lattice of ducts extending across the park. Typically 100mm plastic ducts. If there was a need to deploy new ducts, then this was a relatively easy task for the park owner. He owns the land, he has the plant and the skills at his disposal.

From a planning perspective, there were detailed plans approved by the Conwy Bourgh Council, which clearly identify what lodges can go where. From this and GIS mapping, we were able to generate plans to cover all the services to include Electricity / Water / Gas / Sewer & Communications.

We also had to take into consideration at this stage the need and flexibility to enable expansion. The Park currently has at least 3 phases with a rollout programme over next 3 yrs. Therefore it was important to create sufficient capacity in the network.
