Abstract: A system and method for designing a fiber optic network for a plurality of premises in a geographic area that has existing infrastructure where the existing infrastructure can be used as geographic locations for nodes and arcs in the fiber optic network. The method and system receive inputs for the fiber optic network based on allocated bandwidth, the premises in the geographic area and, data indicative of the existing infrastructure that can be used as geographic locations for nodes and said arcs in the fiber optic network, and optimizing geographic locations of nodes and arcs in the fiber optic network relative to said existing infrastructure.

Abstract: A system and method of designing a fibre optic network for a plurality of premises in a geographic area that has existing infrastructure comprising electronically receiving fibre optic network design inputs comprising data indicative of a plurality of nodes in the fibre optic network and data indicative of arcs extending between said nodes in the fibre optic network based on allocated bandwidth for said premises in the geographic area, electronically receiving existing infrastructure design inputs comprising data indicative of said existing infrastructure that can be used as geographic locations for said nodes and said arcs in the fibre optic network, electronically generating design outputs by optimising geographic locations of said nodes and said arcs in the fibre optic network using said fibre optic network design inputs and said existing infrastructure inputs whereby said design outputs comprise the optimised geographic locations of said nodes and said arcs in the fibre optic network relative to said exis

Abstract: A system and method of designing a fiber optic network for a plurality of premises in a geographic area that has existing infrastructure is described. They include electronically receiving fiber optic network design inputs that include data indicative of a plurality of nodes in the fiber optic network and data indicative of arcs extending between said nodes in the fiber optic network based on allocated bandwidth for said premises in the geographic area, electronically receiving existing infrastructure design inputs comprising data indicative of said existing infrastructure that can be used as geographic locations for said nodes and said arcs in the fiber optic network, electronically generating design outputs by optimizing geographic locations of said nodes and said arcs in the fiber optic network using said fiber optic network design inputs and said existing infrastructure inputs, and electronically outputting the design outputs.
