Title :
Techno-economic evaluation of NGA architectures: How much does it cost to deploy FTTx per household passed?
Author_Institution :

Abstract :
We discuss the most advanced next generation optical access network architectures and technologies, followed by the presentation of results from a techno-economic study on the relevant outside plant costs that includes a comparison among various FTTx architectures. Our study provides answers to frequent questions posed by governments and network operators on the actual costs to pass households with a next generation access fiberoptic based network.
