• In rural and most suburban areas there is no commercial interest for the construction of broadband networks The reasons are extremely low population density and difficult terrain • Co-financing the deployment of broadband network with public funds OAN (Open Access Network) - project of constructing an open broadband network of electronic communications in local communities: the first tender in 2007, the second in 2011, technology neutral, BB connections of at least 2 Mbit/s. © 2013 TELEKOM SLOVENIJE GROUP EU DIGITAL AGENDA FOR SLOVENIA Results of OAN projects • • • • Public Investment: EUR 82 million The result: 29.000 planned connections Building local, disconnected, mostly fiber optic networks Operators do not have clear obligations regarding access to the network, service quality, response times, the information system • High entry barriers for network and service providers - in most cases setting up their own equipment • In some cases access for other operators is not technically possible (eg GPON solutions) • Construction of a parallel network to the existing copper network of TS © 2013 TELEKOM SLOVENIJE GROUP EU DIGITAL AGENDA FOR SLOVENIA Possible technical solutions to achieve the goal of DAE - 30 Mbit/s for all • FTTx - adequate the implementation of P2P FTTH • FTTH (P2P, xPON) • FTTN, FTTC • VDSL2 - adequate (FL and FTTx) • MMDS - today's systems are not adequate due to splitting capacity • Satellite systems - potentially adequate • WiFi - limited adequacy - a shared capacity, QoS • Cable Coax – DOCSIS - limited adequacy - depending on the topology • Mobile (LTE 800 MHz) - suitable for sparsely populated areas with sufficient density of BS © 2013 TELEKOM SLOVENIJE GROUP EU DIGITAL AGENDA FOR SLOVENIA Optimal solution for achieving DAE goals: • Feasibility study analysed all technical solutions in sense of : • • • possibility of access at all levels, equal treatment and costs per BB connection. • Optimal technical solution: A combination of FTTN, FTTH, LTE. Assuring technological neutrality, implementation depends on the optimal reuse of existing infrastructure at the lowest price, speed of construction. • Low price solution: Reuse and upgrade of existing TS network in areas without commercial interest for construction. • Quick and accurate solution: Comprehensive BB problem solving on national/regional level, open access, equal treatment under regulated conditions, service / infrastructure / retail competition, the same wholesale price across entire territory of Slovenia. • Avoidance of main bottlenecks of current approach: high price, individual problem solving, restricted access solutions for infrastructure operators. © 2013 TELEKOM SLOVENIJE GROUP EU DIGITAL AGENDA FOR SLOVENIA Detailed optimal technical solution • FTTN: By re-using the existing infrastructure and shortening the copper local loop to 1km we can build almost 40% of missing DA connections. • FTTH: Solution for areas with acceptable dispersion of population FTTH resolves too long copper loops. Re-use of existing backhaul fiber network and access fiber infrastructure is taken into account. • LTE at 800 MHz: Open base station principle, suitable for geographical areas with lowest population density, limited / shared bandwidth. BEST OF EACH APPROACH! © 2013 TELEKOM SLOVENIJE GROUP EU DIGITAL AGENDA FOR SLOVENIA FTTN, FTTH and LTE using the same (existing) infrastructure of TS • Starting point: Re-use of existing network • The individual household addresses and accurate infrastructure data have been taken into account in the analysis. • Already existing infrastructure is used for FTTN, FTTH and LTE backhaul. © 2013 TELEKOM SLOVENIJE GROUP EU DIGITAL AGENDA FOR SLOVENIA The level of investment in the optimal technical solution - a combination of FTTN, FTTH and LTE number of connections The total number of connections / average Capex (weighted value) 260.000 The estimated investment © 2013 TELEKOM SLOVENIJE GROUP CAPEX in EUR 1.800 € 470 MIO € • 260.000 connections need to be built. • Estimated optimal investment to achieve 100 % coverage of households with 30 Mbit/s is 470 million €. •Average cost per connection is 1.800 €. EU DIGITAL AGENDA FOR SLOVENIA Comparing the OAN investment and suggested solutions CAPEX in EUR Upgrading the network of TS (with no active equipment) • The investment into TS network upgrade is more than 50% lower than existing OAN approach(combined public and private part). OAN investment Capex / connection (weighted value) 1.800 € 4.200 € The estimated investment 470 MIO € 1.092 MIO € © 2013 TELEKOM SLOVENIJE GROUP • With the same amount of public funds, 2.3 times more broadband connections can be built by re-using network of TS. • Technological solution that guarantees speed, open access to infrastructure, equal treatment, increasing competition. EU DIGITAL AGENDA FOR SLOVENIA FTTN technical solution taking into account the use of new technology - vectoring • Without vectoring solution: – halving the coverage – doubling the number of FTTN – 50% greater investment in FTTN •Precondition to use vectoring is the removal of SLU obligations where FTTN is implementing •Operators use connections with BRO model from FTTN or LLU from CO © 2013 TELEKOM SLOVENIJE GROUP EU DIGITAL AGENDA FOR SLOVENIA Vectoring: „alien“ cross-talk has significant impact • A vector control entity has control of the individual line entities that implement the vectoring technology on each pair • Vectoring can be achieved for downstream or upstream or both flows on each line • Maximum performance is achieved when all lines in a cable group are managed; below 90%impact reduced dramatically by the non controlled „alien“ cross-talkers 1000m © 2013 TELEKOM SLOVENIJE GROUP EU DIGITAL AGENDA FOR SLOVENIA Telekom Slovenije solution also affects to achievement of the 100Mbit/s goal: „50% of households use at least 100 Mbit/s“ Possibility of 100 Mbit/s broadband speed will be achieved for approximately 120.000 connections (15% of all households) – 20.000 households (20% of FTTN solution) short local loops with vectoring That substantially increase chance to reach 100Mbit/s goal: „50% of households use at least 100 Mbit/s“ © 2013 TELEKOM SLOVENIJE GROUP EU DIGITAL AGENDA FOR SLOVENIA Results of the analysis of financing possibilities • Building a network with TS’s own resources No return of investment in the observed period of 50 years. • The only feasible option for reaching the goals of DAE by upgrading TS’s network is partial financing with public funds. • Available sources of funds: • Directly from EU - an instrument of Europe integrations (CEF: Connected Europe Facility) • Structural Funds - National tenders: Financial Perspective 2014-2020 • Private funds - Telekom Slovenije has the capability of private investment. © 2013 TELEKOM SLOVENIJE GROUP EU DIGITAL AGENDA FOR SLOVENIA What can Telekom Slovenije offer • Solution on State level (economy of scale of building a broadband network in a larger area is better than in small municipalities). • Keeping best practice from previous OAN tender national level planning, priorities setting • Eliminating previous OAN tender problems such access, communication, network development, IT support, management (obligations on relevant markets 4 and 5). • Significantly lower investment compared to the previous way of OAN financing (at least 50%). • Speed and quality of construction. • Long-standing experience assure the quality of managing and maintaining. © 2013 TELEKOM SLOVENIJE GROUP EU DIGITAL AGENDA FOR SLOVENIA Conclusions • The Digital Agenda Europe is a big challenge and opportunity for Slovenia • Slovenia is small and mainly rural country, practically no commercial interest on the rural areas • The majority of households’ in rural areas are connected to TS copper network. • Result of Feasibility Study: neutral, technologically and economically optimal solution, is re-use of TS network with combination of different technologies FTTN, FTTH and LTE (open base stations). • Upgrading current TS network would mean equal treatment, equal conditions for access to the network at all levels to all players. • The price of upgrading TS network would be 470 MIO EUR, with average price per BB connection 1.800 EUR (vs 4.200 EUR). • Partial public funding is required • The goals are achievable in the case of a State level solution • Appropriate legislative and regulatory environment is required Telekom Slovenije proposal can resolve digital divide between urban and rural areas © 2013 TELEKOM SLOVENIJE GROUP EU DIGITAL AGENDA FOR SLOVENIA Thanks for your attention!
