• New study analyses impact of Fibre/5G demand uncertainty in a phased rollout at time of initial build
• It demonstrates relation between percentage of spare capacity in the original FTTH deployment and future cost of 5G fibre rollout.
• Cost of FTT5G when built on top of an FTTH network with limited or no spare capacity is 2 to 3.5 times more expensive than with sufficient spare capacity
3 December 2020. Today the FTTH Council revealed the results of its second study aimed at quantifying the potential cost savings which could be made by building converged 5G-fibre networks. It demonstrates that deploying FTTH today with sufficient spare capacity will result in significant savings tomorrow for the roll out of 5G networks.
