Is Your FTTH Network Design Ready for the Real World?

At Polosoft Technologies, the structured consultation, centered on a detailed evaluation of your Smallworld FTTH network design, helps in permitting, improving constructability, and accelerating time-to-service. Such as;

Current-State & Data Quality Review

We begin by validating your Smallworld repository: feature models, network rules, coordinate reference systems, and data freshness. Missing attributes, geometry errors, or legacy symbology are flagged and corrected. Clean inputs ensure every downstream calculation, distance, attenuation, and capacity is trustworthy.

Architecture & Topology Assessment

Next, we examine the FTTH architecture (GPON/XGS-PON, centralized vs. distributed split). We review OLT placement, feeder/distribution boundaries, cabinet locations, and split ratios (e.g., 1:32, 1:64) against demand forecasts and service tiers. The goal is minimize optical loss while preserving upgrade paths and keeping take-rate assumptions realistic.

Optical Budget & Path Analysis

Using Smallworld rulesets, we trace optical paths from OLT to ONT, calculating cumulative loss across fibres, splices, splitters, and connectors. Margins are checked against vendor specs and ITU-T guidelines. Any segments breaching thresholds trigger redesign options, route adjustments, different split levels, or higher-grade components.

Constructability & Permitting Feasibility

A paper-perfect route can still fail in the field. We validate trench/duct availability, aerial plant constraints, pole loading, and make-ready requirements. Street crossings, railways, waterways, and protected corridors are highlighted with alternative alignments. Early feasibility reduces change orders and delays.

Capacity Planning & Scalability

We evaluate feeder fibre counts, cabinet port capacity, and slack policies to ensure growth without rebuilds. Scenarios for densification, MDUs, greenfield pockets, and enterprise overlays are modelled so you can scale from GPON to XGS-PON, and beyond, without stranded assets.

Bill of Materials (BoM) & Cost Modelling

Smallworld’s inventory is leveraged to generate a location-accurate BoM, cables, closures, splitters, cabinets, and connectors. We pair it with unit-rate cost models to produce CAPEX estimates and sensitivity analyses (e.g., split ratio changes, route diversions). This turns design choices into financial clarity.

QA/QC Automation & Design Governance

We implement automated validation: minimum bend radius checks, splice/port rules, naming conventions, and topology integrity tests. Dashboards highlight violations and trend improvements over time, institutionalizing quality and shortening review cycles.

Documentation and Handover

Finally, you receive a findings report, redlined design packages, updated rulesets, and a prioritised remediation roadmap. Targeted training enables your team to maintain standards and replicate best practices on future clusters.

Outcomes You Can Expect

• 5 to15% CAPEX savings through optimized routes and split plans
• Shorter deployment timelines via fewer redesign loops
• Higher service reliability with verified optical margins
• A scalable, data-governed Smallworld environment ready for expansion
