A leading Tier 1 US-based MSO wanted to understand the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) of Fiber To The Home, Node Split, and Node Segmentation upgrade option paths.
Node Total Cost of Ownership Modeling
The Problem
DTS Approach
- Developed a technology assessment framework
- Reviewed different technological options
- Organized different workshops to identify preferred architectures
- Identified material and labor costs specific to these solution
- Created a TCO model for different architectural solutions
- Developed detailed CapEx and OpEx models for network upgrades
- Analyzed N+1, N+0 and FTTH variants deployment costs
- Created a model to analyze capacity and cost for network upgrade scenarios
- Developed presentations to assist the client with the upgrade choices
Client Benefits
- The client received a comprehensive 10-year capital and operational spend projections models for different fiber- and HFC- based levers.
- The client presented the outcome to influence the investment discussions for Fiber To The Home and HFC- based solutions.
- This work acted as a precursor to the large-scale Fiber To The Home deployment in Greenfield solutions.
