The document outlines the calculation and planning necessary for deploying FTTX (Fiber to the X) networks using GPON (Gigabit Passive Optical Network). It discusses the types of customer requirements, bandwidth capacity per customer, and the engineering considerations needed for central office equipment and fiber distribution. Key elements include understanding the need for different splitter configurations and addressing residential versus commercial customer needs effectively.

 OLT – Optical Line Terminal – Central Office equipment.
 ONT – Optical Network Terminal for individual customer
premises.
 ONU – Optical Network Unit – for cluster of customers served
by copper as the last mile.
 USP – Un Split / Partial split.
Legend
GPON - Calculation
 Assume 1:32 split ratio
 To achieve 100 Mbps per customer, only 25 customer are
connected per PON
 For 1 PON download speed 2.5 Gbps = 2500 Mbps
 For 1 Customer download speed = 2500 Mbps / 25 = 100
Mbps

 For residential customer 100 Mbps is the
maximum available bandwidth.
 For commercial customer the requirement
granularity cannot be decided during the
survey stage as every commercial
customer will have specific requirement.
 To have clear understanding and to serve
1:X GPON and UnSPlit GPON, we have to
understand the customer requirement in
IT, telecom, application and capacity level.
 To plan and address the general
requirement, we have to assume every
individual customer is connected or ready
to connect via patch cord installation
during provisioning.

 Number of living units (individual customer)
who will be identified with single invoice for all
telecom service from the service provider
point of view has to be confirmed.
 The classification of the above data as shown
in table under “Number of living units:” and the
business model with marketing strategy has to
confirm the FACTOR for various commercial
and split ratio requirement.
 The fiber has to land in each living units
(individual customer) and the flexibility to
connected in different configuration as shown
in the illustration.
 The number of fiber required to enter a MTR
can be calculated with cable count planning
equation.
