Abstract

Distribution and consumption of content is changing dramatically with a strong impact to existing business models around the home, covering TV, Internet, telephony and communication, smart homes and energy management as well as system design and installation. The presentation will show how optical and wireless services can be integrated in an optimized and cost-saving way and how a future--proof infrastructure can be achieved. This talk will report on the recent experiences of POF installations in Europe and its integration with different services such as IPTV, DVB-S over IP, integration of wireless cells (low radiation wireless clusters), as well as new installation concepts and retrofit experience. The talk will summarise the hands-on experience in the last 3-4 years from installations in Austria, Germany, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Italy, Spain, Sweden, and other European countries.
