Broadband network design checklist


  • New applications and use cases, evolving customer demand, and opportunities to serve more communities are all part of a new and evolving broadband market.
  • Legacy architectures for optical line terminals (OLT) typically have a chassis-based or pizza-box form factor, which affects deployment and scalability.
  • The size and footprint of these network elements dictate where the equipment can be deployed (physically and economically), and scaling to higher capacities is not efficient.
  • This results in deploying either too much or too little capacity at given locations, negatively impacting investment.
  • A new level of flexibility is crucial to deploying capacity where and when it is needed, and in the appropriate increments.
  • It is difficult to forecast where demand might occur, so ensure that your broadband solution has the necessary flexibility.
