New for 2010:
NetDesign Concept
XS
Introducing NetDesign Concept
XS
A future-proof FTTH network stands or falls
depending on the quality of the network design
concept. Size and expandability, the network
technology, the cables used, the number of
consumers it can and could connect, its
suitability for local conditions Every aspect
impacts on the capital expenditure required,
the operational costs, the opportunities to
expand and grow, and the return on
investment the total cost of ownership.
And it all hangs on getting the initial network
concept right. With over 10 years of experience
in designing and implementing advanced
communication networks, Draka understands
the importance of the network design like
no-one else. We also know how costly it is to
design, evaluate, change and fine-tune different
network concepts.
Good news for 2010
For 2010, Draka has extended the power of
its Draka
XS
Net Software Suite with a new tool
that significantly cuts the time and money
required to develop network concepts
NetDesign Concept
XS
. NetDesign Concept
XS
is an extension to the NetDesign
XS
module in
the Draka
XS
Net Software Suite. NetDesign
Concept
XS
is the only software tool specifically
designed to deliver the optimal design concept
for every operator situation, every time.
Just as NetDesign
XS
brings the principles of
speed, simplicity, automation and cost-control
to the implementation of a final network design,
NetDesign Concept
XS
does the same for the
crucial concept development phase.
Design, evaluate, change and fine-tune
your FTTH concept in seconds

The power of NetDesign Concept
XS
:
NetDesign Concept
XS
rewrites the rules
governing the way network concepts are
developed. Through a mix of automation, smart
interpretation and pure speed and ease-of-use,
it enables network designers to try a limitless
number of concepts and iterations. In seconds.
NetDesign Concept
XS
takes designing network
concepts to a new level with automatic network
planning and automatic design optimization
that calculates the best splitter types to
employ, and the best places to put them in the
network. It further helps designers to choose
the most appropriate cables and wiring
configurations, to calculate the costs per
building, manipulation point or area, and to
overlay the network on road maps, aerial
photos, and Google Earth. It can also suggest
alternative design, splitter, cable, and wiring
options. After every change, the new total,
material and labor-cost projections are
available in seconds. NetDesign Concept
XS
:
Speedily identifies the optimum network
solution, spelling out the costs, benefits
and opportunities;
Guides the designer to the optimal
network solution;
Calculates a design and the registration time
per connection in as little as 60 seconds;
Provides an overview and breakdown of all
material and labor requirements;
Simplifies planning and maintenance by
enabling the designer to view and identify
all route connections in the network;
Details project addresses, house registration
and digging and installation costs.
Optimal from the outset
For the first time in network concept
development, you can be certain that the final
network design will be optimal when
implemented and remain that way for years
to come.
Calculate optical splitters:
Live fibers per subscriber (ONT)
Cable fibers per subscriber, drop cable
(ONT) and indoor cable (MNT/IDP)
Split ratio per subscriber (ONT) or
per group (MNT), up to 1:128
Ideal optical splitter per subscriber
(ONT) or per group (MNT)
Optical splitters per node
Minimum occupation per optical splitter
Calculate parameters:
Spare capacity and connection rates
Splice capacity of splice cassette
Cable-entry capacity of cable port
Limitations from variety of fiber
counts per cable
Custom calculations:
Building-type
Customer
Connection rate
Cable types
Live fibers per customer
P2P or PON network
