The role of IT in accelerating FTTH Deployments and Operations

To meet current user demand, enable business plans, and reach EU digital goals, the number of activated connections must be maximised. Furthermore, network uptime must be maximised, more and faster connections and flexible configuration options are needed, and stakeholders require regular insights related to planning and budgets. IT, in particular design automation and remote testing, can be a large part of the solution. However, this requires making the best possible use of data and software processes.

Implementing a comprehensive IT strategy covering the full Plan, Design, Build and Operate lifecycle chain offers clear benefits and enhanced efficiency.

The white paper covers various topics including IT solutions for key challenges faced by operators in deploying and operating fibre networks, addressing FTTx network pain points at the Plan, Design, Build, and Operate stages. It discusses the benefits of IT solutions for each phase of the FTTH network lifecycle, highlighting key IT solutions such as design automation and remote testing. The white paper also explores optimizing every phase of the network deployment lifecycle, provides a case study on improving the number of homes passed, and looks at the future of IT in the fiber industry.
