Evaluate alternative options:- Break the rule?- Desktop survey to check feasibility (e.g. CO location)- But keep quality
- Insight: Instant view on cost impact- Optimisation: Design non-fixed parts- Uniformity: Check rule compliance

FTTX: OPTIONS FOR X
© FIBERPLANIT.COM 2015 16
Planning FTTx rollout: long term vision needed Need ACCURATE answers FAST What is the end point? FTTH? Migration path to FTTH?Reuse existing infrastructure: Copper, Coax, ...Include different target connections: Antenna, Business, Residentials, ...
Gradual upgrade or total overbuild?
Planning ahead will save a lot of money!

WHAT IS YOUR STRATEGY FOR X?
THREE EXAMPLES

Existing copper network with FTTCab / VDSL2Copper lengths from current street cabinets: between 10 and 1000m Up to 2000m in rural area
Typical offered speed: 30Mbps Objective: reduce copper length to increase speed
EX 1: DSL OPERATOR

Existing copper network with FTTCab / VDSL2Copper lengths from current street cabinets: between 10 and 2000m
Offered speeds: 30Mbps Objective: reduce copper length to increase speedEvaluate options for FTTDp/FTTC: Scenario 1: FTTC / VDSL2+ with max copper length = 400m Scenario 2: FTTDp / G.Fast with max copper length = 100m
Extra parameter: min #homes per Fiber Node Economically Viable
EX 1: DSL OPERATOR

Existing HFC network with FTTN / DOCSIS 3.0Average of 500 homes per Fiber NodeTypically 2 to 3 Amplifiers on CoaxOffered speeds: up to 300 Mbps download Shared medium between 500 users: Mbps in peak time?
Objective: reduce number of customers on shared Coax section to increase speedsEvaluate options for FTTNode/FTTHome: Scenario 1: FTTN / DOCSIS 3.0 with 64 homes per Fiber Node Scenario 2: FTTN / DOCSIS 3.0 with 32 homes per Fiber Node Scenario 3: FTTH
EX 2: HFC OPERATOR

Existing 4G network Increasing data volumesIncreasing amount of antennas
Objective: introduce fiber backhaul to ensure maximal mobile data user experienceEvaluate options for FTTAntenna: Scenario 1: Reusing Existing Ducts Scenario 2: Greenfield Scenario 3: With redundancy
EX 3: 4G MOBILE OPERATOR

What our Customers say about FiberPlanIT
28
The FiberPlanIT team demonstrated a high level of professionalism in determining appropriate parameters for a further optimization of our FTTx Projects.
B. Corlùy - Head of FTTx Strategy Belgacom, Belgium
Thanks to the FiberPlanIT modelling software, we were able to quickly determine optimal Cabinet and Central Office sizes for the areas of interest.
J. Humm - GM FTTH InvestmentsEnable Networks, New Zealand
Before FiberPlanIT, we generated Masterplans by hand: this was time-consuming and error-prone. But most of all: it was a complex job. The introduction of FiberPlanIT changed this process for the better: we generate Masterplans much faster and more accurate than before. The automation and efficiency of the software really increased our job satisfaction, enabling us to focus only on problem-areas while the software takes control of the rest.
