Overview

Fast@Home Classic supports the strategic fiber network planning process. Fast@Home users receive a cost-optimized network plan including routes, pipe, and cable locations. Network designers can access the planning data through Fast@Home’s built-in export functionality. 

The key features are:

• Automated planning of large fiber networks comprising of up to 5,000 addresses in one calculation
• Planning results are: tube and cable plan (Shp), Bill-of-Material (Excel)
• Calculation of alternative planning scenarios
• Convergent network planning - consideration of fixed and wireless demand points
• P2P and GPON architectures
• Computation of the potential route network based on street data
• Micro ducts as tree structures
• Differentiation of customer types per address point
• Parameterization per end customer: pipes, cables, costs, network concept

Fast@Home NPV offers planners the opportunity to optimize the ratio of expected return to expected investment in fiber optic access networks. Fast@Home NPV calculates optimized access networks for individual revenue targets by specifying addresses or customer locations and the corresponding net present value (NPV). The addresses selected in the process can then be transferred directly into strategic network planning with Fast@Home.
