Creating an optimal access transformation plan

  • February 25, 2022

How do I create an implementable optimal access transformation plan, that gives me the most “bang for the buck”? This first paper in the series looks at the process to get to the insights needed to define an optimal network…

A multi-trigger what-if analysis approach to network transformation

  • April 2, 2020
When developing a long-term access network transformation plan, network operators tend to focus on demand growth as the key trigger for upgrades. While accommodating demand growth remains a key driver for upgrading a network, in reality other triggers may enforce a different upgrade strategy and alter the preferred upgrade path and the required investment profile.

Migrating DSL footprint to FTTH, start with GPON or XGS-PON?

  • March 28, 2020
An operator wants to move all subscribers to Fiber to the Home. He decides on an aggressive strategy to no longer invest in DSL technology upgrades but migrate network elements to FTTH when they need to be upgraded and wants to understand what is the best starting point: go with GPON or directly introduce XGS-PON?

An access domain methodology for network transformation

  • February 3, 2020

Linear upgrade strategies in a single technology domain are no longer sufficient to keep up with growing service demand and complexity. Building a comprehensive transformation strategy requires deep understanding of the impact of both linear and non-linear upgrade paths. The…

How to reach 10G systematically?

  • August 7, 2019
An operator would like to develop a roadmap to reach 10G capacity on their access networks. To make an informed decision he wants to understand the effect of multiple technology paths on total cost, investment profile, technology availability risk and ability to support his product roadmap.

Brownfield access network planning

  • July 9, 2019

Broadband access networks need to evolve to keep pace with ever increasing subscriber demand. Network planners are faced with the challenging task of planning network upgrades in an optimum manner in a fast-changing, complex environment driven by new technology options…

Density Based Brownfield

Density-based brownfield strategy

  • July 1, 2019
An operator would like to develop brownfield SFU upgrade guidelines. They have access to different access technologies such as Fiber Deep and Fiber To The Home in their portfolio. Question is what are the guidelines for deploying technologies for different node densities?
MDU

MDU OCF-based node upgrade

  • July 1, 2019
An operator is interested in understanding what is the operating cash flow (OCF) opportunity by installing different fiber deep technologies to brownfield MDUs in a market. They have a hypothesis that different fiber deep technologies will have different take rates.
XGS PON

Start with XGS-PON or GPON

  • July 1, 2019
An operator would like to develop a focused short-term greenfield expansion plan with an understanding of short-term and longer-term cost trade-offs. Currently, XGS-PON is more expensive than GPON. Should they initially execute their expansion plan with GPON or XGS-PON?
