Broadband access network investment optimization in rural areas

Luka Vidmar, Blaz Peternel, Mitja Štular, Andrej Kos · 2010

Summary. This paper develops an optimization method for deploying broadband networks in rural areas by combining digital subscriber line and fiber-to-home technologies. The authors use dynamic programming to determine optimal placement of network equipment while considering existing copper infrastructure, cable lengths, and user locations. They calculate financial metrics like payback periods and net present value for different deployment scenarios, and introduce a planning tool called BANeT to support rural broadband network design decisions.
