in Ethernet over
Copper Services
VINTRODUCTION
Demand for more bandwidth and service
sophistication continues to rise quickly across
every telecom segment. For small/medium
businesses, municipalities, and cellular
operators, obtaining higher-bandwidth
connectivity to the wide-area network is often
dicult. The cost of running fiber to the
premise is prohibitively high for many in these
segments, limiting them to the same T1/E1based services they’ve been using for years.
Fortunately, technology advances have brought
new life to copper loops. With Ethernet over
copper (also commonly referred to as EFM,
for Ethernet in the First Mile) solutions,
network operators can oer up to 15 Mbps
per pair, bonding up to 8 pairs together.
services that tie multiple locations together
seamlessly or monitor service levels with great
precision.
This application primer and product guide

advantage of the clear opportunity in EFM
services — looking at:
• key drivers of demand in the relevant
market segments,
• how EFM technology can support
attractive new services targeted at these
segments,
• the ease of EFM implementation in a
scalable multi-service architecture,
• business cases for alternative operators,
and finally
These services oer advantages beyond raw
bandwidth, including very low capital costs,
the simplicity and ease of use of Ethernet,
higher reliability from fault-tolerant bonded
pairs, and the facility for advanced network

Customer Demand for Advanced
Services
The customer segments for which EFM-based services are
potentially valuable fall into two distinct groups. The
first and broader group consists of small and mediumsized organizations with inherently information- or
communication-intensive activity. These organizations
include commercial businesses as well as smaller publicsector entities such as municipalities and schools — all
with reasonably similar networking requirements today.
The needs of smaller remote locations of larger organizations are also very similar, with a few specific requirements for cross-organization connectivity that go beyond
those of independent small businesses or organizations.
The second group is the cellular operator community, in
particular the last-mile backhaul connectivity to their cell
towers.
Changes in communication and information processing
are increasing demand for bandwidth and more sophisticated services in both groups. For small/medium organizations (or SMOs), applications continue to involve ever
richer content, with more and higher-resolution digital
imagery, and increasing amounts of video content and
videoconferencing. The software-as-service model is
growing robustly in these segments because of its attractive economics especially for smaller-scale operations,
increasing network trac along the way. For large
organizations with distributed operations, the steady
increase in data-driven processes and management
approaches is turning remote sites into essentially small
data centers. This is particularly prevalent in the retail
segment. The mission-critical role of IT in these distributed operations complicates and increases the importance
of high-uptime, seamless network connectivity.
For wireless operators, the advent of 3G smartphones
with easy-to-use interfaces and compelling networkbased applications has substantially accelerated growth in
cellular wireless data trac. This trac growth is quickly
outpacing the ability of operators to put up new cell sites
or tap new spectrum bands to accommodate it, so the
capacity utilization of existing sites continues to rise.
Since the capacity of a radio network is only as good as
the bandwidth of its connection back to the core
network, the rising utilization of 3G and 3.5G cell sites is
creating similarly rising demand for backhaul
connectivity.
Forecasts aggregated from across the telecommunications
industry highlight clearly the magnitude of these changes
in non-residential wireline and cellular data trac —
with 32% and an astounding 125% compound annual
growth rates, respectively. Given the relatively slow
growth in the population of SMOs and cell sites, the
trac per location looks set to continue rising substantially.
The Opportunity in Last-Mile
Copper
While the telecom industry’s response to demand for
higher bandwidth is generally to push fiber closer to the
customer premise, for SMOs and many cell sites, there
are complications with that approach. While the forecast
trac growth rate in these segments is substantial, it’s
starting from a very small base — typically something on
the order of a 1.5 Mbps T1 or 2.0 Mbps E1 data service
line. For these smaller sites, it will take years of steady
trac growth to reach the point where service demand
and willingness to pay will justify the high costs of
running fiber to these premises. Unlike residential
neighborhoods where the cost of fiber deployment can be
more easily amortized over a number of subscribers, the
lower teledensity of SMOs and cell sites means the fiber
deployment business case for an individual location must
bear the full installation costs largely alone. Given these
realities, the slow rate of growth in fiber penetration to
businesses is unsurprising. One industry analyst, Vertical

Systems Group, reported in 2006 that only 13.4% of
businesses in the US were served by fiber. Two years later
their 2008 survey found just 19.1% penetration of fiber
connections in the business segment. The business case
for fiber deployment to these segments is obviously
improving, but at a modest rate that will leave the large
majority of these customers limited to copper-based
solutions for some time.
EFM Technology
Fortunately there is an excellent solution for these copperbound SMO and cell site applications in the form of
Ethernet over Copper, and in particular the industrystandard Ethernet in the First Mile technology (commonly referred to as EFM).

EFM in Context
To clarify terminology, it’s helpful to look at EFM in the
general context of the growing adoption of Ethernet.
Since Ethernet is taking dierent forms in access, distribution, and core networks, the jargon can be confusing.
The table on the next page provides a summary snapshot
of the various Ethernet technologies in use today outside
the LAN environment. The overlap between the application groupings (the horizontal axis) is the primary source
of confusion. The IEEE 802.3ah standard, the more
formal name for EFM, actually covers both fiber and
copper technologies. In practice, though, the term
“Active Ethernet” is used for 802.3ah standards over
point-to-point fiber, leaving EFM as the working term for
802.3ah over copper. The higher-speed Metro Ethernet
5
6 Z HO N E T E CH N O LO G I ES E T H E RN E T O V ER CO P P ER
specification, coming out of the work of the Metro
Ethernet Forum, is used primarily for core and distribution network services over fiber and is not relevant to
SMO and cell site target segments under consideration
here. The last category, Pre-Standard Ethernet over
Copper, refers to the proprietary technology for Ethernet
on bonded copper loops that was originally developed by
a small company named Net to Net in the late 1990s and
acquired by Zhone in 2005. A number of Zhone customers continue to use this technology quite successfully.
One other term with some currency in the industry is
“carrier Ethernet” — used variously as an umbrella term
to refer to the services that operators can oer with any
of these technologies, or sometimes more specifically to
refer to Ethernet services in the core or distribution
networks. Our focus for the balance of this discussion is
on EFM over Copper, which in practice is usually shortened to just EFM.
How EFM Works
In simplest form, EFM is a straightforward combination
of packet data in Ethernet frames carried over an SHDSL
physical layer on one or more last-mile twisted pair
copper loops. An EFM connection is made between an
Ethernet access device (EAD) at the customer premise
and typically an EFM aggregation platform in the central
oce, or in some cases directly with an EAD at another
premise. EADs deliver WAN connectivity on the premise
through an Ethernet port to a standalone device or a
LAN switch, and they may also provide emulated legacy
interfaces (POTS, T1/E1) as well.
The IEEE 802.3ah standard incorporates a number of
advances in Ethernet over last-mile twisted pair, including:
• use of the SHDSL physical layer for high symmetric
data rates per twisted pair (up to 15 Mbps)
• direct connection between the Ethernet MAC layer and
the SHDSL PHY layer, avoiding latency and frame
overhead associated with prior approaches that
retained ATM encapsulation and adaptation in the
process
• support for multiple twisted pairs in a bond group that
are combined to form one virtual Ethernet connection
with higher speeds and resiliency — as shown in the
diagram on the facing page, individual inbound
Ethernet frames are divided by EFM devices into
fragments optimized for current loop performance
before being sent in parallel over the bond group, one
fragment to a pair, and then re-assembled on the
receiving end.

rates, as well as hitless adds or drops of individual pairs from the group. This resiliency translates into higher value
for EFM services in mission-critical business or public-sector applications where high link reliability and stability is
of utmost importance.
The performance of the EFM standard represents a nearly 10x improvement over legacy T1/E1-based services.
Rates for links without repeaters stay very robust over the typical “in town” distances required to serve SMOs. The
addition of repeaters can carry multi-megabit speeds over copper at the greater distances required for cell site
backhaul.

As the rate and reach achievable with EFM suggest, the
most attractive application for the technology is simply
the delivery of much higher bandwidth services for SMOs
and cell sites at more aordable rates. As a rule of
thumb, operators are able to oer profitable EFM bandwidth today at about 1/6 the service charge per Mbps of
T1/E1. The flexible bond group design of EFM allows
customers to easily migrate from one bandwidth level to
the next by adding pairs one at a time.
Beyond just more bandwidth, the native Ethernet architecture of EFM also enables a number of other valueadded services, which create tiered pricing opportunities
for operators. These include:
SLA E-LAN Services — SMOs that are part of larger
organizations often need guaranteed bandwidth for TLS
services between their locations, to support missioncritical applications. Adding Service Level Management
via IP SLA provides an added value service tier for these
customers.
TDMoE Services — Some service providers merely use
Ethernet as a simplified means of delivering T1/E1 TDM
services due to the attractive operating economics.
TDMoE is transparent to the end subscriber, who still
sees a T1/E1 rate connection. TDMoE with a carefullycontrolled clock reference for TDM timing-critical
applications (such as cellular voice backhaul) is also
known as pseudo-wire, or PWE.
E-Line Services — Also known as Ethernet Private Line
(EPL), are point-to-point services over Ethernet in the
access network, generally Internet or VoIP connections.
These can also include VPN services. This is also an
alternative to traditional Frame Relay, as well as fractional
or full T1/E1 service and even dial-up service.
E-LAN Services — Also known as Transparent LAN
Service (TLS), E-LAN involves using Ethernet accessnetwork connectivity to create a seamless Ethernet LAN
extension from the subscriber/enterprise network to the
WAN & across the WAN to other locations. It is considered a native Ethernet multi-point service using Layer 2
functionality. E-LAN services are an attractive alternative
to Frame Relay and IP VPN services over T1/E1 infrastructure.
Easy, Fast Implementation
Beyond the higher bandwidth and advanced services EFM
supports, the technology also oers service providers
substantial time to market advantage and operating
savings, from its simplicity and flexibility in network
design, installation, turn-up, and maintenance. Especially
when embodied in a well-integrated and scalable multiservice access platform approach, as with Zhone’s EFM
portfolio, the equipment is capable of supporting a wide
range of configurations, from single point-to-point
installations through very high density aggregation, all
within the same interoperable hardware and software
architecture.
The EFM standard’s provisions for configuration and
management allow well-designed system software to
make turning up carrier-class services on the equipment
very straightforward. Zhone’s EFM Application Guide
takes you from a sealed box of central oce gear to
bridged Ethernet service in just four simple steps — the
first of which is “unpack the box and plug it in.” With
the touchless EFM provisioning built into Zhone’s single-
line, multi-service (SLMS) access operating system, the
end customer needs to perform only that first step, and
the rest can be completely automated. EFM services can
be installed and brought up in a tiny fraction of the time
it would take to deploy fiber for a business customer or
cell site.
Recurring Revenues and Costs,
US$ per Month per Customer:
Zhone’s service provider customers have reported that
EFM’s simplicity and ease of use reduce the ongoing sta
costs of network configuration and maintenance per
subscriber by at least 20%, and in some cases as much as
50%. They also report that sta training time is dramatically reduced, as the technology taps directly the base of
experience in Ethernet that is common in today’s network
technicians.
The Business Case
A strong case for launching EFM services can be made for
each alternative carriers, and custom network service
operators. The cases for each dier in their particulars,
but the net result is the same in all segments: deploying
EFM is a very financially attractive concept. We’ll look at
each situation in turn.
Alternative Carrier or CLEC
For the alternative carrier / CLEC segment, EFM is all
about the upside of taking new market share with a
superior price/performance oer. In this case a representative customer cash-flow payback analysis would look
roughly like this:
The high profitability of this customer segment yields
very rapid payback for these alternative models where
service providers are building custom networks for SMOs.
Custom Network Service Provider
The third model is a variation on the alternative carrier
approach, and one pioneered by a Zhone customer in
Europe. In this case the network operator sells the service
concept to individual customers before buying and installing any equipment. The operation’s capacity is extended
only when the customer is signed on, and completely at
the customer’s expense. (The viability of this model in
other geographies is likely to be very dependent on the severity of unmet demand for aordable higher-bandwidth
options in the SMO segment.) The custom network provider operates a dedicated configuration of equipment for
each customer over leased unbundled local loops, becoming in eect an extension of their IT infrastructure. The
profitability of this customer segment carries through to
the custom network model as well — operating income
for this case is currently running in the mid 40% range.

Architecture
Note that in establishing back-of-the-envelope business
case views of these three operator classes, the value of
more advanced services (such as E-LAN connectivity or
tiered performance and pricing based on SLA levels) has
not been incorporated. Whether included as part of the
baseline service in order to provide more tangible dierentiation of the oer in an eort to gain share, or oered
as incremental charges, the low cost of implementing
these additional features in EFM solutions will yield even
more upside to all three operator models.
Finally, the business case for cell site applications is
largely analogous to each of the three cases sketched out
above — whenever the cellular operator must buy backhaul from the open marketplace, i.e. it is not the wireless
arm of an operator group that includes wireline services
that can be purchased at cost. For wireless operators
with wireline assets, the case for EFM can be based on
more bandwidth over limited copper resources, comparatively lower maintenance and operating costs than for
legacy interfaces, or avoiding the costs of more expensive
alternatives such as microwave or fiber build-out.

Cornerstone of Service Expansion
“When we evaluated Zhone’s offerings, particularly EFM, we felt that the cost and performance
claims made by Zhone had to be too good to be true. After testing the platform we were con-
vinced and we’ve been consistently amazed by the exibility, value and performance of the
MALC.”

Zhone Delivers Higher Bandwidth to Netmedia
“Using Zhone’s Ethernet-over-Copper solutions with both E1 and SHDSL lines has enabled delivery of higher bandwidth Ethernet business services in Finland over existing copper lines, thereby
creating new and protable Ethernet business services by reusing existing plant infrastructure.”

Dramatic Improvement in Service Capability
“We believe Zhone’s EFM solution will dramatically improve our service capability through copper
loop bonding for higher bandwidth along with symmetric data capabilities for our business customers demanding enhanced services. Zhone’s EFM standards-based access aggregation ensures
our service objectives are met, including simplifying provisioning and management.”
