Take control of your FTTH network design
- 1. Make your project a success with your own people and by introducing the right tools Take control of your FTTH network design
- 2. Learning Objectives • Learn about the value of doing a pilot project • Learn about the impact of GIS data on a project • Learn how you can save time and costs by introducing automation
- 3. Example of a Municipal Utility • Utility company • Serve the community • 26k electric customers • 24k water customers 3
- 4. Goal: Build the best network… • Cost-effective • Operable • Manageable • Future-proof 4
- 5. … in the least time • Time to market is crucial for every FTTH project 5
- 6. Challenges & Advantages in this project 6
- 7. Lack of experience in FTTH • Limited in-house FTTH knowledge 7
- 8. In-house engineering • Good technical knowledge • Experience of other utilities • Network management 8
- 9. A lot of information available • FTTH Handbook • Community toolkit • Case studies • White papers 9
- 10. Many tools available • CAD software • GIS based design solutions • Automation & Optimization 10
- 11. Why not do it yourself? • Use your own resources • Leverage engineering experience • add Information • add Tools 11
- 12. Small pilot program to ensure quality • Test equipment • Evaluate processes • Asses infrastructure • Determine best practices • Ensure customer satisfaction 12
- 13. Valuable support of good GIS data 13
- 14. Garbage in = garbage out • Good GIS input data needed • Tools will help but cannot magically generate data 14
- 15. Aerial design challenges • Re-use poles • Place new poles • Minimize cables on poles 15
- 16. Verify data quality • Design close to the field to avoid costly surprises • Verify if poles are reusable 16
- 17. Google Satellite ≠ GIS • Not up to date • Pictures • No extra information 17
- 18. Collect real GIS information • Georeferenced format • Attribute information • E.g. Poles, Streets, Buildings 18
- 20. A lot of different rules to follow • Cascaded design • Minimize splices (costs) • Single cable per route • Spare capacity 20
- 21. Software can design the network • Automatically • In a cost-optimized way • With a detailed view on costs 21
- 22. Keep learning and iterating • Learn from the experience of a pilot project • Rely on your own people • Adopt the right tools and processes 22
- 23. Thank you for attending. Please remember to complete the online evaluation of this session in the mobile app by selecting the bar graph icon.
Editor's Notes
- The goal is the same old same old. You want a cost-effective, operable, manageable design.
- And you want it quick
- Why a pilot program? In order to ensure that we will deliver quality, reliable and high-speed access, OMU is starting with a comprehensive pilot program. This provides an opportunity, on a smaller scale, to test equipment, assess infrastructure, determine the best practices and ensure customer satisfaction. After the initial pilot program, if it is successful, OMU will expand to other areas, methodically and deliberately to maintain the same level of service and satisfaction.
