FTTH Designer

1 · Service area

Source

Click the map to place corners, then Finish. Drag any handle to reshape; click a dashed midpoint to add a corner; right-click a corner to remove it.

Streets are compiled from every source available for the area and de-duplicated, so a road two sources both have is counted once. The console reports what each source contributed.

Missing roads i

Existing plant — poles, pole lines, ROW, conduit (optional) i

Lines are followed and preferred wherever they reach. Points are treated as poles: the streets they stand along can carry aerial. Without this, the design is underground throughout — street data says nothing about poles, and assuming them would understate the build.

Reference layers — for context only (optional) i

Drawn on the map and nothing else — a reference layer never changes the design.

2 · Technology

Sites & headends. Click a button, then click the map. Drag a marker to move it; right-click to remove it. Anything you place is honoured — pinned plant is never relocated or dropped by the optimizer, which designs the cheapest network containing it.

Or type one OLT (lat, lon) — optional i

3 · Construction

The rules the design obeys. Defaults are ordinary US practice; change them per project where local conditions or your standards differ.

Max pull (ft) i

Merge radius (ft) i

Max locations / FDH i

Max snap (ft) i

Flowerpot up to i

Pedestal up to i

Drop slack (ft) i

Min drop (ft) i

4 · Permitting

Federal and Tribal land, wetlands, protected water, critical habitat and railroads, from the NTIA permitting layers. Preliminary and not exhaustive — treat every hit as "review this", not as the complete list of permits.

5 · Pricing

Construction vendor i

6 · Economics

Residential and business are modelled separately. Locations are split by their FCC building type — code B is billed as business; mixed use (X) stays residential, because those are overwhelmingly dwellings with a shopfront.

Resi take rate (%) i

Horizon (yrs) i

Grant funding ($)

Advanced business modelling (optional)

A commercial install is a larger truck roll and a business costs more per month to support. Left blank, both reuse the residential figure and nothing changes.

Business opex ($/sub/mo) i
