FTTH design with cadastral data
Designing a rural area with 28.000 homes in The Netherlands
Summary: We performed a project in the Netherlands where we went from cadastral Excel data per home for a larger area to the creation of high-level and low-level, detailed FTTH network designs of all villages.
Keywords: FTTH, rural, 28.000 homes in 51 villages, The Netherlands, cadastral data, micro-ducts, P2P, optimisation, Autocad Map3D, Google Earth, BOQ.
This case study shows a typical design process: Cadastral data=>GIS=>Optimization=>Installer ready designs & BOQ reporting
The results of this project were:
- Autocad (Map3D) dwg designs with:
- All planned routes (trench type, road-crossing, water-crossing etc.)
- All planned homes with postal-code and house-number.
- All labelled manipulation points.
- All micro-duct types.
- All labelled cables (drop/distribution/feeder)
- NetProject: BOQ and BOM, all quantities and costs.
- Google Earth kmz files.

| The Netherlands |
 |
| Case location in the northern Dutch province of Friesland. |
 |
| An impression of the area. |
 |
| The cadastral data for 28.000 homes was automatically transformed to Autocad (Map3D) GIS data. This includes postal-codes and house-numbers. |
 |
| The automatic creation of village layers in Autocad (Map3D). |
 |
| Homes were automatically positioned in 51 village layers. |
 |
| Possible trails/route segments were created in Autocad (Map3D). Existing and new infrastructure can be possible input for the design. |
 |
| Our NetOptimus software will automatically select certain trails to create the most cost optimized high-level network design with POPs and Cabinets/mini-POPs. |
 |
| In NetOptimus a low-level, detailed design was made by creating DP locations and drop-cables to the homes. |
 |
| The design can then also be visualized in Google Earth directly from NetOptimus. |
 |
| A section of the design with 505 FTUs/homes is shown here in Google Earth. 42 DPs are connected with distribution cables to a Cabinet/mini-POP. |
 |
| An example in NetOptimus where 1297 FTUs/homes are connected to 117 DPs. |
 |
| An example in NetOptimus where the 117 DPs are connected to a single POP. |
 |
| An example in Autocad (Map3D),with 2x14mm and 7x14mm microducts. |
