Network access provider Openreach<\/a> (BT<\/a>) are gearing up to launch a new high-speed Ethernet Access Direct (EAD) v2.0 product for businesses and UK ISPs in the future – estimated for early FY25\/26 (i.e. the current details are highly tentative), which will introduce various improvements and new data speed profiles.<\/p>\n

The EAD product is perhaps one of Openreach<\/a>’s most familiar Ethernet services and provides point-to-point data connectivity between sites. The service can be used to build and extend customer networks, develop new infrastructure, and meet network backhaul (capacity) requirements up to 10Gbps. EAD is not a totally static product and has evolved a bit over the years, but EAD 2.0 looks set to go much further.<\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong> c. 90% of Ethernet served premises in the UK are currently within a 10km route distance from an Openreach<\/a> Handover Point (OHP) exchange, of which there are c. 1,000. These OHPs also provide nationwide coverage of modern “fibre broadband<\/em>” services (FTTC<\/a>, FTTP<\/a> and G.fast<\/a>).<\/div>\n

The new EAD 2.0 product is expected to support new intermediary speed tiers (e.g. 2Gbps, 3Gbps) – all supporting the common Ethernet standards (IEEE 802.3) for a dedicated and uncontended leased line, as well as the ability to remotely upgrade bandwidths (assuming ISPs have the right optical bits and bobs installed).<\/p>\n

Rather than adopting an active device (e.g. Openreach’s Active NTE) that uses power, EAD 2.0 looks as if it will seek to adopt a passive demarcation device with an inbuilt reflector that Openreach can test. Port costs, as well as space and power costs, should also be cut because ISPs won’t need to house headend kit in their Access Locate (PoP) space. Instead, a new multi-fibre Cablelink service will be offered to allow providers and their Ethernet switches to connect multiple EAD 2.0 services to a single provider’s port over VLAN.<\/p>\n

Greater resilience is also expected because they’ll be allowing an end user site to be connected normally to its 2nd nearest OHP for route diversity (EAD and EAD 2.0 can be used together to support resilience). However, provision and repair times don’t look set to change much vs the original product, although some areas may deliver superior performance.<\/p>\n

An Openreach spokesperson told ISPreview:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“We\u2019re actively exploring a next generation Ethernet Access Direct (EAD) dedicated leased line product. This would be served directly from our fibre based exchange Handover Points to better enable bandwidths of 1Gb and above but with a smaller, more sustainable, space and power footprint for our Communication Provider (CP) customers, and handing over in fewer exchanges. We\u2019re currently in active discussions with CPs to shape the final product design.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Finally, it’s worth noting that the original EAD products won’t vanish once EAD 2.0 launches. Both will be available side-by-side, although Openreach hopes that the original product(s) may eventually be replaced over the longer-term, but not until EAD 2.0’s coverage and capabilities result in providers moving away from it.<\/p>\n

Speaking of coverage, it sounds like Openreach will initially aim to deploy EAD 2.0 across up to 400 OHP exchanges (covering up to 50% of all EAD served today), albeit eventually rising to almost UK-wide coverage. Pricing details have yet to be confirmed, but existing EAD costs are probably a fair indication, although the aim is apparently for EAD 2.0 to support a lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).<\/p>\n

One other important point to make is that EAD 2.0 is expected to benefit from the Fibre-to-the-Premises<\/strong> (FTTP<\/a>) rollout, which should ultimately result in future Ethernet deployments attracting fewer Excess Construction Charges (ECC) – they’ll use the same fibre spines for Passive Optical Networks (PON) and Ethernet.<\/p>\n

Crucially, the final design for EAD 2.0 is still being decided, so it’s entirely possible that some of these details may change before launch. We’re expecting to get a better idea of what the final product design may look like toward the end of this year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
