SaskTel servicing guidelines

existing Multi-Dwelling

Units

1. The SaskTel Fibre Optic Network

Migration from copper to the new Fibre Optic Network will take several

years to complete. For new builds, arrange to install one category 5e cable

and one bend insensitive fibre from the building entry/electrical room to

each multi-dwelling suite Optical Network Terminal (ONT). The ONT is

described on page 11.

If you have questions regarding the type of wiring to use in new builds,

contact SaskTel Building Industry Consulting Service (BICS) by email at

Communication.DistributionDesign@sasktel.com.

Over the past 100 years, SaskTel has provided its residential and business customers with

telecommunication services using primarily copper based telephone wire/cable systems to carry

the signals to the homes and businesses.

Although this is still very effective and will continue to be utilized for some time to come, as with

most other infrastructure systems, it requires continued maintenance and rebuilding. With the

increasing price of copper as a non-renewable mineral and the ever increasing costs of fuel and

materials to provide maintenance, infrastructure is a common issue throughout the

telecommunications industry.

SaskTel was a pioneer in the field of fibre optics back in the 1980’s; it again looks at fibre as a

solution to this infrastructure question. For the past 20 years, partners within

telecommunications have been working towards a viable solution using fibre optics to replace

the expensive copper transport systems. Gigabit Passive Optical Network (GPON) fibre

systems represent the result of that 20 year development path.

The SaskTel Fibre Optic Network will be GPON - based. A PON is a fibre-based transmission

network containing no active electronics, providing gigabit speeds that provide individual

services for up to 32 customers, per fibre.

Passive components reduce the need for power consumption, greatly reducing the cost of

running the network. Also, a single fibre run from one of our central offices can feed up to 32

homes or living units with the use of a GPON 1/32 splitter.

Using splitters reduces the overall cost of deployment by reducing the need for very large

cables and construction costs that were incurred with copper builds of the past.
