−  FTTH, FTTx, e.g. with switched Ethernet,
−  FTTO, FTTD (e.g. POL/OLS), FTT-bed
−  FFT-CCTV
−  HFC, RFoG, EoC
l  End-to-end
(no opening and closing of modules)
−  Central Office to CPE
−  Headend to cable modem

AND Unique Selling Proposals

Single solution concept USPs
February 2014

AND Unique Selling Proposals

Defining components USPs
February 2014

All network components are defined and modified in AND LibEdit

(part of delivery)

l  Engineering characteristics defined

according to vendor specifications
l  Allows complex components to be
defined from building blocks (Lego-style)
l  Authorized users can set up company rules
e.g. target levels for amplifiers
l  Sourcing, pricing data, installation effort, etc. can be added
to each component

AND Unique Selling Proposals

Integrated engineering USPs
February 2014

Integrated engineering allows you to design with calculations executed

in background. Designs can be verified against user-customisable
thresholds.

l  Optical power

l  RF

l  Dynamic labelling
l  Signal tracing
l  Ownership information
l  TV channel plan and CMTS data for RF signals

AND Unique Selling Proposals

Dynamic labels USPs
February 2014

Dynamic labels provide essential routing data for service staff and
network technicians

l  Any changes in network result in immediate label update

l  Labels are user-customisable
l  Usage examples:
−  At splice panel show origin and destination of fibre
−  At ONT show complete route from CO to CPE incl. port in OLT

AND Unique Selling Proposals
