DZS Fiber Extension

Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH) deployments have been generating great excitement amongst broadband users, promising amazing, consistent, high-speed, low-latency services. However, many FTTH deployments cannot reach or connect all customers within a deployment area, for several reasons, including expensive last-hop deployment costs, difficulties in obtaining access to premises, historical/architectural building preservation constraints, or complex Multi-Dwelling Unit (MDU) agreements.

In response to these challenges, operators around the world are adopting a Fiber Extension strategy to provide ultra-fast broadband, utilizing G.Fast technology to deliver fiber-like speeds to dwellings over the last-hop copper infrastructure already in place; a cost-efficient alternative to a full-fiber deployment.

The DZS solution consists of two components:

• A reverse-powered Distribution Point Unit (DPU), that is linked to the existing copper line and provides gigabit ethernet over G.Fast on twisted--pair or CoAx
• An in-home Network Termination Device (NTD) - a G.Fast CPE that will also reverse power the DPU

The reverse power function makes both east to install as no outdoor power is needed to power the DPU and in a multi-port unit, multiple NTD/CPE effectively mean redundant power for the DPU


Key DZS Fiber Extension Features

DZS Fiber Extension DPU solutions can help you reach those customers beyond the economical reach of fiber with powerful, standards-based solutions over existing infrastructure cost-effectively

A large-scale G.Fast rollout requires DPUs that can be easily deployed in any environment. DZS’ DPUs can be deployed wherever it is needed – on a pole, on a wall, on a strand, in a pit, down a manhole, or in the basement of an MDU. Different deployments also require different port counts. A single dwelling is different to an MDU, and should be treated as such. DZS DPUs are available in a range of port-counts that provide the flexibility to optimize deployment to SDUs and MDUs in low, medium and high-density zones.

Simplified Installation Process

DZS G.Fast Fiber Extension solutions have been carefully designed for efficient and simple installation to optimize deployment time and minimize cost. As world leaders in reverse-powered DPUs, our solution eliminates the significant costs and delays associated with preparing and connecting AC power at the installation location. DZS’ Installation Assistant is an easy to use, portable, battery-operated field tool compatible with all DZS DPUs. Proven in the field, our intelligent installation tools enable fast and efficient registration and birthing of DPUs.
