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

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.
