Infraplus Consulting was tasked with designing a passive fiber optic network for various towns in Austria. The project covered 350 km of fiber infrastructure and connected 30,000 premises across the country. This Brownfield project was focused on upgrading existing networks and included multiple layers of design such as network planning for routes, pan areas, and network objects.

The design process began with input data in .gpkg format (Service Address, PAN boundary, AAN location), which was converted into Shapefiles to facilitate network planning. The design included the placement of fiber cables, conduits, and fiber terminals. Specific tasks included fiber drop connections, placement of manholes and handholes, and route planning using AAN and PAN locations to ensure optimal connectivity.

The project also included detailed designs for both primary and secondary routes, with careful mapping of fiber terminals and splicing locations, ensuring that the entire network was ready for deployment with clear fiber route connections.

Scope of Work:

1. Fiber Network Design:

Primary route design based on AAN locations
Secondary route design using PAN locations
Conduit placement for fiber cables with proper manhole and handhole installations
Fiber terminal and fiber drop cable design for efficient connectivity

2. GIS Data Management:

Convert Service Address files (.gpkg) into Shapefiles for mapping and planning
Create network layers for fiber cable routing, fiber terminals, splicing cases, and slack loops
Design fiber optic network components based on AAN and PAN locations

3. Infrastructure & Equipment Planning:

Fiber cable design with different fiber capacities (24Ct, 48Ct, 72Ct, 96Ct, etc.)
Install equipment in manholes and handholes, ensuring proper fiber connectivity
Detailed mapping of fiber routes, terminals, and equipment locations

4. Final Network Design & Delivery:

Complete network design in QGIS, with all necessary fiber layers and connections
Bill of Quantities (BoQ) for materials and installation resources

Deliverables:

Complete design in QGIS, with accurate fiber route mapping
Bill of Quantities (BoQ) in Excel format, detailing required materials and resources for installation
Final design documentation for fiber optic network including splicing, fiber terminal, and drop cable designs
