We have used this approach in industrial estates by providing point to point fibre back to a mini exchange. The network operator can then use PON or PtP equipment. <BR/><BR/>An a typical industrial estate is likely to have less than 1000 premises, so two fibre racks Stephen Davieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03671744373168657090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4654027243541805559.post-33138709712598108442008-09-08T14:49:00.000+08:002008-09-08T14:49:00.000+08:00There is an elegant answer that this discussion mi...There is an elegant answer that this discussion missed. In an estate involving industrial, commercial and residential the splitter splices were located in the equipment room. This realises the termination savings Stephen mentioned, while each customer still has a dedicated fibre.

Fiber connections have to be managed at the concentration point, whether this is a central location or at smaller distributed points.<BR/>If you concentrate the fiber centrally, yes you will need a fair amount of space and power. This is managable and is no different from today's Central Offices with masses of wire (or fiberdwillsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17500301969190053267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4654027243541805559.post-61106274684745988272008-08-19T15:38:00.000+08:002008-08-19T15:38:00.000+08:00They are not doing 450,000 YET.
