A study released at the recent FTTH Conference and Exhibition in Amsterdam proposed that anticipating FTT-5G convergence at the planning stage of a network could offer significant cost savings
The FTTH Council Europe has revealed the results of a new study which aims to quantify the potential cost savings that could be made by building converged 5G-fibre networks.
At the upcoming FTTH Conference 2017 in Marseille, Comsof will launch a new product: FiberPlanIT Engineer. This new product is an extension to the FiberPlanIT Designer that focuses on the design and planning stage of FTTx networks. With the addition of FiberPlanIT Engineer, Comsof says it can serve its customers during the construction phase as well.
