This document discusses automated GIS tagging for efficient FTTx networks. It begins by outlining opportunities for FTTx networks as copper cabling requires maintenance and replacement. It then discusses the evolution of FTTx technology and infrastructure. A key challenge for operators is the identification and management of FTTx infrastructure and field data. The proposed solution is an automated GIS tagging system that collects input data, manages the inventory and value chain through application integrations, records asset details using RFIDs, and updates the information system with GIS data. Benefits include providing location-based network details, reducing mean time to repair, and optimizing total cost of ownership.

3. FTTH Opportunities
 Copper Cabling requires significant Maintenance
and Replacement because:
o Telecom Outside Infrastructure is more than a Century
old in most Countries
o Network Coverage Limited Geographically
 Access Network is transformed from Copper to
Fiber Network
o Increase of Bandwidth Demand
o Demand for Advanced Quad-play Services
o High Speed Availability, Reliability and Scalability

4. FTTx Evolution
FTTx Concept is More Popular
Installation of Fiber-To-The-Home (FTTH)
is Becoming a Reality
Optical Fiber is Recognized as the Main
Building Block for Future High-Capacity
Home Broadband Networks
FTTH Will Soon Reach All Homes in the
Form of Fiber-To-All-Homes (FTAH)

6. FTTx OSP Infrastructure
Point to Point Point to Multi-Point
 Direct Fiber Cables to Homes  Single to Multiple Fibers
 Less OSP Cabinets  More OSP Cabinets and Splitters
 No Splitting Required  Other Infra (Couplers & Multi-ducts
 Low Power Budget Required
 Scope for More Power Losses
Need A More Efficient OSP Network Management System
