Design objectives and delivery architecture for Fibre to the Premise (FTTP) are critical.
There are solutions that deliver immediate needs for both passive and active architecture. It is vital that all the components for a successful investment in FttP delivery are taken into account.
Factors that affect FttP architecture are:
- Terrain
- Local Authority Codes of Practice
- Population density
- Population type (rural, urban, commercial, industrial, CBD)
- Customer take up rate
- Market price point sensitivities
- Cost
To be able to deliver immediate and projected future requirements a cable plant that caters for the two main stream technologies of "Passive Optical Networking" (PON) and "Point to Point" the above considerations must be taken into account to deliver the optimum investment and architecture outcome.
They will drive all considerations for the active and passive technologies utilized.
