Webinar Date/Time: Thursday, June 3, 2021 at 1:00 PM (CT)

Every network is somewhat unique, depending on the situation. Not all networks can be designed with the same topology or follow the same design rules, so networks must be customized to drive efficiency in design and deployment. Network operators must take into consideration a variety of factors, including geography, network services to be deployed, and available network technology.

In this webinar, you will learn several FTTH network topology solutions traditional telco and MSO service providers can utilize to optimize their total cost of ownership and increase the speed of deployment to meet deployment timelines. These considerations and solutions are based on proven technologies, architectures, and strategies that support deployments from low-density rural, to medium-density suburban, to high-density urban, as well as both greenfield and brownfield projects to ensure successful and revenue generating deployments. Topics to be covered include:

  • Geographical Location and Density: Rural vs. Suburban vs. Urban
  • Topology Split Options: Centralized, Distributed: Cascaded or Indexing, TAP
  • Deployment Technology: Plug-and-Play vs. Splicing
  • Speed of Deployment: Skill Level, Reducing Labor Requirements
  • Project Services: Implementation Often Requires Augmenting Capabilities

Determining the best topology solution set for your FTTH network deployment involves many difficult decisions. Therefore, CommScope has developed the FTTH network ePlanner. This webinar will preview the FTTH ePlanner, which is an interactive guide that helps network engineers and consultants understand and navigate the multiple decisions that go into transforming their conceptual network vision into a working design. It takes you step by step through the major infrastructure decisions — from the central office or headend, feeder and distribution network, to the inside of the customer’s home. Each section introduces you to the key topologies, product types and design considerations involved in building your network. Interactive decision trees guide you in configuring a customized broadband network design and understanding the product options to implement your strategy.

This webinar and the FTTH network ePlanner are the products of CommScope’s 40+ years of broadband network design and success. It includes the insights gained from our involvement with the global standards bodies and field experience with service providers of all size. What’s more, our fiber network architects work together with network planners, engineers, and consultants to find the best solutions every time to help customers like you maximize ROI and accelerate deployments.

For the RDOF winners and their consultants, selecting the right network topologies, technologies and product solutions can be difficult. This webinar will focus on CommScope’s interactive FTTH ePlanner, which is tailored to help you configure a customized broadband network design.
