As network service providers and equipment suppliers continue to invest in innovation, fiber access networks that are designed to support the delivery of high-intensity services such as IPTV and triple play have become more reliable, scalable, and cost-effective than ever. Yet service providers are concerned about more than capital equipment costs. They require flexible solutions that deliver opex savings and revenue growth opportunities as the pressure to realize cost savings grows. A simplified access network at the lowest possible cost is critical to this new services model and this paper examines total cost of ownership (TCO) differences between two system architectures for FTTX deployments. The first is a traditional multi-service access platform (MSAP) consisting of highly specialized system controls and commoditized line interface modules. The second, Occam's BLC 6000, leverages distributed intelligence and Ethernet based multi-service access modules with integrated transport.
