Nomitech Telecom Databases and Models

FTTx Market Overview

Telecom operators face the challenge of providing ad-vanced and innovative services to their customers to minimize the cost and increase their revenues.Next Generation Network Services provisioning and the convergence of voice, video and data services over a single connection pose significant enhancements at the network architecture.Copper reached its limits and fiber needs to be widely utilized deep in the network, penetrating even into the access domain.FTTB topologies and the utilization of ADSL2/2+ or VDSL2 technology over the existing copper plant of-fers a cost efficient alternative solution that covers the

needs of triple play delivery. Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH) is the ultimate solution for the provision of the required abundance of bandwidth to the end user, but the associated high installation cost acts as a deterrent for many carriers to proceed to mass deployments of such implementations.FTTH - Outside Plant deployment

Optimization of Outside Plant works is of immense importance as OSP represent more than 70% of overall CAPEX.OSP contribution to overall CAPEX varies with re-spect to Brownfield or Greenfield conditions and the chosen FTTH technology (Active vs. PON), but always represents the largest portion.OSP network design needs to be parameterised re-flecting local conditions.Rollout mechanism must be well tuned to achieve minimum implementation costs and deployment time

Optimization of OSP Design

The design of a FTTx network depends on:•Demographic parameters of a specific area (house-holds/Km2 )•Geographical settlement of the buildings of each area•Network rollout plan (on demand vs. 100% cover-age)•Selection of FTTx technology (P2P, PON)Spare capacity (ducts, fiber)

Nomitech Database

Nomitech presents a series of Telecom Databases and Models and satisfies a market requirement that was un-sutisfied for several years. The Telecom Industry is continualy evolving and Nomitech is commited in provid-ing the latest technologies and delivering state of the art expertise.

FTTx

OSP design optimization requires modeling of OSP FTTH deployment so as to efficiently calculate :•the cost (CAPEX & OPEX) of an FTTx network de-ployment (Low Level Design)•Bill of Materials (Passive & Active)•Labor (e.g. trenching, fiber splicing, etc.)

OSP FTTx Deployment Model

Nomitech developed a FTTHx Cost model within Cos-tOS, aiming to assist telecom companies in optimising their design and delivering cost effective services

Overview• Examination of the demographical parameters and building settlement specifically tuned for any country’s urban areas

• Adaptation of these areas to a simplistic topology (avoiding the complexity of the real building settle-ments)• The FTTx network is divided into three parts: Drop network, Distribution network, Feeder network• The model is based on a “bottom-up” approach starting from the building terminations, through the drop, distribution and feeder networks, up to the POP/CP.• The model is adaptable to any optical access tech-nology.

Benefits• Estimate the CAPEX and OPEX of the access net-work’s passive infrastructure• Provide several deployment scenarios• Minimize the total investment risk• Simplify access network design

Metro/Backbone fiber optic network

What is “Metro/backbone fiber op-tic network cost estimation?” Backbone fiber optic network cost estimating mod-els refers to the specialized processes leading to a successful and cost effective choice of installation and operation techniques of a fiber optic network.

Nomitech cost estimating telecom models include the determination of the type of communication system(s) which will be carried over the network,

the geographic layout (premises, campus, outside plant (OSP, etc), the transmission equipment re-quired and the fiber network over which it will operate. Additionally include the consideration of require-ments for permits, easements, permissions and in-spections. The models can estimate and compare the

affection of the total project cost from the ac-tual component selections, placements, instal-lation practices, testing, troubleshooting and network equipment installations and startups. Finally, the telecoms models take into account the documentation process, maintenance and plan-ning for restoration in event of an outage in or-der to offer a completed and detailed cost analy-sis of the backbone fiber optic network project.
