摘要: This paper presents a first cost analysis of broadband local access system based on the switched star architecture. The per-subscriber cost, including all network components from customer premises interface to central office switch termination, is established. Both near-term and long-range costs technology trend forecasts are obtained serve as bench-mark. These results used for comparisons relative offering different capabilities. identifies most important elements in explores trade-offs possibilities reduction.
