COURSE NAME: FTTH DESIGN PRINCIPLES & EFFECTIVE MAINTENANCE & TESTING



Written & Practical Assessment to all participants where successful candidate will be awarded a certificate






Course Overview:

With the rapid growth of FTTH around the country & also in region, one is overwhelmed with design approaches and network

architectures which may not be suitable for specific deployment areas and situations. FTTH network design is considered

to be so simple and flexible that there exist numerous designs and approaches from various operators. Nevertheless, how

can one determine which network architecture is suitable for his/her network.

The main purpose of this course is to help the participants to understand in detail the different deployment options available and to help choose (an) appropriate solution(s). All of the options described have particular features, benefits and of course limitations. When providing FTTH networks, it is key to understand the challenges for potential network builders and operators. Some of these may present conflicts between functionality and economic demands. Course Objectives:


1. Understand the need for a balance between functionality (both current & future) and economic needs 2. Understands that affordable, developed technologies and methodologies are available to build such FTTH networks

anywhere in the world. A network designer must be able to tap into the best of all the different approaches in order to design the best suited network for its application

3. Effectively perform testing and troubleshooting to locate and rectify faults in various network design approaches


The course covers the basic knowledge and hands on training that specifically for: Key functional requirements for a FTTH network will include:

Provision of high bandwidth services and content to each customer, with no restrictions

Support for the required network architecture design (the fibre infrastructure must remain flexible at all times)

Support future network upgrade and expansion


Testing and troubleshooting methodology for various design approach The economic requirements will include (but are not limited to):

A successful business case, providing the lowest possible Capital Expenditure (CAPEX) and Operating Expenditure (OPEX) solutions for affordable infrastructure deployment

Minimal deployment disruption where possible, to gain acceptance from network owners and to benefit FTTH subscribers yet fastest go-to-market strategy for fastest ROI
