Network Model Scenarios
In the ever-evolving landscape of Passive Optical Network infrastructure, deploying the right FTTH architecture in the right environment is crucial. We have developed a modeling tool designed to streamline the decision-making process, offering a comprehensive comparative analysis that applies various FTTH network architectures to diverse deployment environments, ranging from high density urban environments through to low density rural areas.
This comparative analysis takes three distinctly different deployment environments, overlaying six different FTTH network architectures to compare the differences in material and installation costs, providing a holistic view that empowers decision-makers to optimize their network strategies.
