title = "Towards achieving practical GPON FTTH designs",
abstract = "Nowadays, fiber-based access networks are considered to be a major solution to provide the triple-play (voice, video and data) services. However, telecom companies are forced to provide a cost effective solution due to the rapid technological evolution and fierce competition. Return on investment for the deployment of Greenfield networks or transformation of existing legacy networks need to be maximized. In addition, the network should be designed in such a way that it is easy to deploy and to maintain. To achieve these objectives, an intelligent network planning system is required to minimize the cost of network design with the practical considerations to alleviate the future maintenance. In this paper, we provide an approach that uses road information in order to tackle the FTTH access network planning problem with the focus on handling practical scenarios.",
