New for 2010:NetDesign ConceptXS

Introducing NetDesign ConceptXS

A future-proof FTTH network stands or falls

depending on the quality of the network design

concept. Size and expandability, the network

technology, the cables used, the number of

consumers it can and could connect, its

suitability for local conditions Every aspect

impacts on the capital expenditure required,

the operational costs, the opportunities to

expand and grow, and the return on

investment the total cost of ownership.

And it all hangs on getting the initial network

concept right. With over 10 years of experience

in designing and implementing advanced

communication networks, Draka understands

the importance of the network design like

no-one else. We also know how costly it is to

design, evaluate, change and fine-tune different

network concepts.

Good news for 2010

For 2010, Draka has extended the power of

its DrakaXSNet Software Suite with a new tool

that significantly cuts the time and money

required to develop network concepts

NetDesign ConceptXS. NetDesign ConceptXS

is an extension to the NetDesignXS module in

the DrakaXSNet Software Suite. NetDesign

ConceptXS is the only software tool specifically

designed to deliver the optimal design concept

for every operator situation, every time.

Just as NetDesignXS brings the principles of

speed, simplicity, automation and cost-control

to the implementation of a final network design,

NetDesign ConceptXS does the same for the

crucial concept development phase.

The power of NetDesign ConceptXS:

NetDesign ConceptXS rewrites the rules

governing the way network concepts are

developed. Through a mix of automation, smart

interpretation and pure speed and ease-of-use,

it enables network designers to try a limitless

number of concepts and iterations. In seconds.

NetDesign ConceptXS takes designing network

concepts to a new level with automatic network

planning and automatic design optimization

that calculates the best splitter types to

employ, and the best places to put them in the

network. It further helps designers to choose

the most appropriate cables and wiring

configurations, to calculate the costs per

building, manipulation point or area, and to

overlay the network on road maps, aerial

photos, and Google Earth. It can also suggest

alternative design, splitter, cable, and wiring

options. After every change, the new total,

material and labor-cost projections are

available in seconds. NetDesign ConceptXS:

Speedily identifies the optimum network

solution, spelling out the costs, benefits

and opportunities;

Guides the designer to the optimal

network solution;

Calculates a design and the registration time

per connection in as little as 60 seconds;

Provides an overview and breakdown of all

material and labor requirements;

Simplifies planning and maintenance by

enabling the designer to view and identify

all route connections in the network;

Details project addresses, house registration

and digging and installation costs.

Optimal from the outset

For the first time in network concept

development, you can be certain that the final

network design will be optimal when

implemented and remain that way for years

to come.

Calculate optical splitters:

Live fibers per subscriber (ONT)

Cable fibers per subscriber, drop cable

(ONT) and indoor cable (MNT/IDP)

Split ratio per subscriber (ONT) or

per group (MNT), up to 1:128

Ideal optical splitter per subscriber

(ONT) or per group (MNT)

Optical splitters per node

Minimum occupation per optical splitter

Calculate parameters:

Spare capacity and connection rates

Splice capacity of splice cassette

Cable-entry capacity of cable port

Limitations from variety of fiber

counts per cable

Custom calculations:

Building-type

Customer

Connection rate

Cable types

Live fibers per customer

P2P or PON network
