FCP-Modify – High level Process &
Illustrative Examples
Gary Williamson
Openreach LLU Technical Development Manager
Version 1 – 15th April 2013
Introduction

FCP-Modify is about getting more from existing LLU infrastructure through
rejuvenation and in-life upgrade:
 May be considered for any existing ‘pre-FCP’ PoP type.
 Firm order acceptance is always subject to survey. For some PoPs,
physical expansion may not be possible due to the presence of
surrounding equipment belonging to other customers or BT. Openreach
will offer what is possible for customer consideration.
 Can help improve service continuity through greater power resilience.
 Offers more for the customer – eg ‘Customer Use Cabinet’ (CuC).
 Lowers DC energy costs due to >95% power efficiency (cf 89%-92%)
 Can help customers to prepare for consolidation of their LLU estates.
Key Points
1. It is important that:
1. Prior to APO placement there is a customer / Openreach dialogue to agree
and document the customer requirements to be met.
2. Following receipt of an APO in which multiple similar PoPs are to be
upgraded, the work is undertaken as a programme. This will help to ensure
consistency of delivery for the customer.
3. Customers have a person who is the primary point of contact for FCP-Modify
orders over the end-to-end delivery process.
2. A ‘rack face’ map will be created for added cabinets and added rack spaces.
This will help the required positions of ethernet fibre and equipment to be
thought through and defined by the customer.
3. In some cases the APO survey will find that there is insufficient suitable space
and/or ac mains power capacity to satisfy the customer’s requirement.
Openreach will seek to offer an alternative based on what appears feasible.
Definitions – Categorisation for APO

FCP-New Build is the provision of a new PoP in response to a customer order.

FCP-Modify is the means to upgrade an existing ‘pre-FCP’ LLU PoP such that is
subsequently treated as an FCP installation for billing and future upgrade path purposes.






Will always include provision of at least one new FCP DC Power System.
Will always replace any existing Openreach maintained DC system(s).
Is not offered in ‘AC Only’ form.
May include additional rack space units (RSUs), Customer Use Cabinets and HDF racks.
Is always subject to survey for space and ac power supply capacity reasons.
Is always the subject of customer requirements document produced by the Openreach LLU Technical
Development Team for customer approval and having an solution code.

FCP-Refresh applies to an existing FCP installation for the incremental increase or decrease
of power capacity and/or the provision of additional features within the original physical
footprint / expected future maximum power envelope (eg Add an HDF / HDF sub-racks,
supply and install a Customer Use Cabinet). Does not entail re-engineering of the PoP.

FCP-Augment will entail re-engineering of an in-life FCP PoP to increase its spatial and/or
maximum power capacity envelope beyond the original expected future maximum.

LLU-Regrade applies to any Non-FCP LLU PoP and encompasses changes of a minor
engineering nature within the existing design limits of the relevant product type.
Customer Requirements Definition
The embedded document is the blank template to be completed for each new
customer requirement that arises. One document may apply to many or few LLU
PoPs of a given type.
Dialogue with the customer may entail a degree of iteration as actual requirements
are confirmed and the associated indicative pricing is understood.
Once agreed, a PDF version of the Customer Requirements Definition paper will be
stored and made available for use by the Openreach Plan & Build and EIPB teams.
Each approved requirement will result in a “Solution Code”.
The customer will then be able to place APOs quoting the solution code on one or
many occasions.

“I’ve outgrown my LCU and now need to double my

Example 13 Bespoke Co-location Rooms
Start point would be a review of room usage and electrical supply design check.
FCP-Modify would provide Power-Base hardware and, as required, RSU / HDF
and CuC facilities. Note – different commercial terms apply for bespoke rooms.
BT AC mains supply to room.
Typically via ESS.
Originally designed for
customer specified max power
load.
FCP-Modify design would
review ac capacity to room to
ensure correctly rated supply.
May need to include some
ventilation / cooling based on
heat density.
Customer LLU equipment – incl DC
power and UPS
Example 14 Hostel Bays (Type A and B)
“I want to exploit my Hostel Bay and add capacity. I need 8kW
now and up to 10kW in the future. I want two more 600W x 800D
RSUs each with a CuC to hold my new equipment. I also need
an HDF for up to 54 new ties”.
As a result, the Openreach survey and design offers a solution that looks like this.

Further work is to be undertaken on these.
FCP-Refresh – Power capacity increase
Start
FCP PoP
Customer pro-actively
requests increase in ac
power supply capacity
from initial maximum
power to a higher value
not exceeding the
‘expected future maximum
power’ stated at original
build order.
Where FCP DC system is
present alarm settings
are changed to reflect the
applicable new maximum
load current
(from dimensioning tool).
EIPB / FE D/L assumed
until PIMMS remote
config eliminates need
for site visit.
Customer places APO
quoting LLUC(s) and the
required new ‘usable
maximum power’ value
required (xx.xkW).
Customer is advised of
order completion via an
itemised statement of
new charges arising from
the APO.

Finish
FCP-Augment (applies to in-life FCP PoP
that originated as a new build or via FCP-Modify).
• Process would be similar to FCP-Modify and begin with a customer
requirements definition exercise to ensure that the need / indicative
pricing is documented and agreed.
• APO placed as the customer’s authority to proceed.
• APO survey would be undertaken for each PoP in scope.
• Response to customer based on ‘art of the possible’.
• Customer firm order decision.
