reporting
Optical fibre will be the main build-
ing block for future high capacity
home broadband networks.
Its transmission capacity is almost
unlimited and unconditional com-
pared to existing copper cabling
systems.
Little difference between the de-
ployment costs of optical fibre and
copper cables systems of equal ca-
pacity.
FTTH offers high bandwidth and
future upgrade potential over large
distances.
Much lower maintenance and opera-
tions costs.
When providing FTTH network de-
sign, Realworld ECHO understands
the challenges for potential network
builders and operators.
Understanding - familiar with all
the elements associated with a Fi-
bre-to-the-Home (FTTH) network
infrastructure.
Experience - already delivered plan-
ning, design and documentation of
FTTB, FTTC and FTTO fiber net-
works in Germany and Switzerland.
Proficient using all the standard
design platforms on the market,
including Smallworld PNI FTTH .

Route surface area and digging

length detailed reporting
Fundamental planning
Digital documentation of the existing network, duct route planning
Registration of marketing data (demographic, economical, population density, )
Establish priorities of network rollout for all departments
Establish Manageable Work Packages
(Network Clustering, Fibre Route planning, duct analysis, duct request)

Outside Plant Evaluation

Existing civil network analysis and identification of duct space
Ground surface report to find the most construction cost efficient routes
Cable route assurance with regard to the existing utility networks density
Customer address verification and evaluation of non built parcels

 FTTx Planning and Design
Defining customer cable and equipment design specifications in the required design platform
(Smallworld FTTH, AutoCAD, ArcGIS, etc.)
Pre-design stage:
Defining fibre network cluster (cells) to include demand points
Backbone and fibre trunk route planning
Client approval of the pre-design concept
Detailed design stage:
Splicing, loss budget calculation and detailed fibre distribution line route planning
Rack mounted equipment design and connectivity planning
Network design optimisation through:
utilising as much as possible of the existing duct space
finding most cost-efficient construction routes using outside plant evaluation surface reports
avoid existing utility networks density areas
Authority and owner construction approvals

FTTx Design Reporting

Detailed street design maps with regard to existing utility network density
Underground cross-section view of all main network junction points
In-house network installation instruction maps
Individual fibre cable or micro tube utilisation report
Total digging length report divided by surface type category
Customer drops & statistic, splicing diagrams and ODF reports

FTTx As-Built Documentation

As-Built data capture into the main network inventory database
Conversion of the measurement data and integration into the GIS system
