  • Abstract
    In this paper a cost comparison of flexible and fixed fiber access network designs is presented. Different cost types are analyzed over a period of time and the impact of different penetration scenarios is investigated. The results show, that a fixed Optical Distribution Network design has significant cost advantages compared to a flexible design.
