Abstract
This chapter presents a techno-economic assessment of optical access network upgrade technologies for subscribers with high capacity demands [1,2]. The major contribution is an in-depth analysis of broadband upgrade alternatives in the mixed residential and business market. The study focuses on physical layer upgrades, and examines the installed first costs of upgrading the typical one-way, point-to-point fibre connection of current large business customers to higher capacity with a two-way connection for protection, as well as introducing broadband passive optical networks for medium-, small business-and residential customers, with 2 Mbit/s as the basic bearer service for these segments.
