Evaluating the Cost to Deploy a Fixed Access Networks (like FTTH, FTTB, etc.) in an Area, Is Usually Complex, Expensive and Time Consuming
- The geometric model presented, leveraging on just public maps, allow a first high-level civil works evaluation (dig length) with enough accuracy (>90%)
- Developing a new geometric model to estimate the amount of civil works required in urban areas for the deployment of next generation access (NGA) networks
- Exploring how this model can provide a quick, accurate, high-level estimation without the necessity of specific geographical measurements or surveys
- Understanding how the algorithm estimates the infrastructure in terms of digging, ducts, cable paths and lengths providing the civil works quantities
Taking the Guesswork Out of Network Capacity Management
- Analyzing network performance metrics aimed at facilitating robust capacity management strategies within broadband networks
- Assessing potential applications for effective network capacity management
- Leveraging insights derived from speed distributions, latency characteristics, and associated parameters to proactively optimize network resources, enhance service quality, and ensure optimal customer experience
