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

EVALUATING OPTIONS FOR X IN FTTX WITH FIBERPLANIT Planning for FTTx


FTTX: OPTIONS FOR X


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!

STRATEGIC PLANNING


Case by case: influencing factorsExisting infrastructureCompetitionCAPEX/OPEXRequired Broadband speedsSmall cells: fiber backhaul...

Phased Approach?FTTN+FTTA+FTTO > FTTHFTTC+FTTA > FTTH

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

FIBER TO THE X

Source: Alcatel-Lucent



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

CONCLUSIONS


TURNING PLANNING INTO PROFIT

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.
