How does DSDN performance compare to the performance of FTTH?
•Speed – DSDN is commercially deploying 100 Mbps, testing 1 Gbps and working on 10 Gbps. Most proposed fiber deployments currently provide only 10 Mbps to the end user. •Scalability – Both FTTH and DSDN can scale and have robust architectures that are full duplex and switched. Ethernet is an extremely robust system for data transfer, whether through FTTH or DSDN. •Redundancy – DSDN intelligently re-routes network traffic around any accidental cable cuts or path disruptions resulting in uninterrupted service to the consumer. Most FTTH systems are home-run strands from either the NOC or a major hub to the home. It takes either intelligent components in the field (DSDN), or redundant home run fiber from a second location (very expensive) to achieve redundancy. •Ease of Implementation and Maintenance – DSDN is easier to implement and maintain and does not require additional customer premise equipment. FTTH implementations are more difficult and require special handling for each fiber drop
