TRANSCRIPT
Make your project a success with your own people and by introducing the right tools
Take control of your FTTH network design
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
Example of a Municipal Utility
• Utility company• Serve the community• 26k electric customers• 24k water customers
3
Goal: Build the best network…
• Cost-effective• Operable• Manageable• Future-proof
4
… in the least time
• Time to market is crucial for every FTTH project
5
Challenges & Advantages in this project
6
Lack of experience in FTTH
• Limited in-house FTTH knowledge
7
In-house engineering
• Good technical knowledge• Experience of other utilities• Network management
8
A lot of information available
• FTTH Handbook• Community toolkit• Case studies• White papers
9
Many tools available
• CAD software• GIS based design solutions• Automation & Optimization
10
Why not do it yourself?
• Use your own resources• Leverage engineering
experience• add Information• add Tools
11
Small pilot program to ensure quality
• Test equipment• Evaluate processes• Asses infrastructure• Determine best practices• Ensure customer satisfaction
12
Valuable support of good GIS data
13
Garbage in = garbage out
• Good GIS input data needed• Tools will help but cannot
magically generate data
14
Aerial design challenges
• Re-use poles• Place new poles• Minimize cables on poles
15
Verify data quality
• Design close to the field to avoid costly surprises
• Verify if poles are reusable
16
Google Satellite ≠ GIS
• Not up to date• Pictures• No extra information
17
Collect real GIS information
• Georeferenced format • Attribute information• E.g. Poles, Streets, Buildings
18
Design architecture
19
A lot of different rules to follow
• Cascaded design• Minimize splices (costs)• Single cable per route• Spare capacity
20
Software can design the network
• Automatically• In a cost-optimized way• With a detailed view on costs
21
Keep learning and iterating
• Learn from the experience of a pilot project
• Rely on your own people• Adopt the right tools and
processes
