The Ericsson Fiber Access Passive Network solution is designed according to the “World’s Best Practice” principle. Key elements are:

Scalability

The access networks built today must be scalable, not just regarding capacity, but also regarding topology. Typical examples of scalable technologies are Ericsson Ribbonet® and Micronet air blown fiber and micro cable systems, where incremental installation of fiber, easy repair and upgrade are key elements.

Versatility

It is impossible to know what technological changes will happen in the future. Therefore, any network component is designed for any possible topology or combination of topologies in the same product, for example PON (P2MP) and P2P. It shall also support a full transformation from PON to P2P (or vice versa) without the need for additional civil works.

Furthermore, major network components can handle any cabling type, for example air blown fiber, micro cable, drop cables or traditional cable (also a mix of the above).

Functionality and Esthetics

Minimum visual impact and class-leading packing density in combination with innovative technology go hand-in-hand. An esthetic and healthy environment can be combined with future-proof solutions that minimize total cost of ownership.

Care for the Environment

All products are designed to minimize the environmental impact, from the manufacturing stage and through the whole lifecycle of the products. Total RoHS compliance and halogen-free materials are features of the entire product range. Packing materials are minimized or fully recyclable. No trade-offs between cost and negative environmental effects are allowed.
