To The Premise (FTTP) Trial
Bell Canada announces a technology trial Terminal-to-Network interface
for Fiber ToThe Premise based on publicly available standards. Service is expected to commence in
the 4Q2006 in a selected area in Quebec.
The purpose of the
trial is to validate the FTTP technology readiness and the Bell Canada
service delivery requirements over a FTTP access.
The service will
provide simultaneous voice, video & data capability between the
subscriber and the main terminal. Voice will use telephony inside wiring,
and video and data will use an Ethernet interface. The connection to the
local loop will be provided through an Optical Network Interface. For the
trial, the customer will still have access to its existing telephone
service set.
Compatibility Impact:
None expected.
