Trenching is extremely costlySo reduce this as much as possible
Central Office Buried drop point Facade drop point Aerial drop point And reduce the total deployment length
Central Office Fiber cable Buried drop point Facade drop point Aerial drop point By constructing a Steiner Tree NP-hard heuristic techniques Interesting research topics Clustering & cherry picking Ring structures for resilience
Finally there are also different fiber architectures for the access network
The other parts of the physical deployment have a much smaller impact
Using an alternative to trenching (here aerial) can save considerable Aerial 30% of customers 10% of the installation length
There is a trade-off between pre-installation and later installation
Finally there is also the OpEx for keeping the network up and running continuous pricing and billing 1% 9% maintenance and repair marketing 9% customer equipment 38% operational planning 22% maintenance and repair maintenanceand repair inside plant outside plant 15% 6% 29
So – We’ve shown an approach forcost breakdown and balanced (zooming) estimation
So – We’ve shown an approach forcost breakdown and balanced (zooming) estimation • Deployment (70%) mainly trenching (80%) optimized installation tree cherry picking alternative installation types
So – We’ve shown an approach forcost breakdown and balanced (zooming) estimation • Service Provisioning (25%) mainly equipment ONU (65%) advantage of pre-installation reduced trenching early customer binding
So – We’ve shown an approach forcost breakdown and balanced (zooming) estimation • Keep up & running (10%) mainly maintenance (60%)
In the future we plan to … Proceed on this approach • Investigate trade-off between CapEx & OpEx • Model the cost-structure in more detail • Expand this approach to other technologies (e.g. wireless)
