Network Modeling, optimizing infrastructure solutions
Network Modeling is: Generating cost-efficient Conceptual Network Layouts, by combining Selectable Network Components with Conceptual Network Solutions
1. • Conceptual Network Layout:
Any kind of Network Layout possible in the given environment (OSP or Buildings) 2. • Selectable Connectivity Products:
Any Network Components which exist or are yet to be designed 3. Conceptual Network Solutions:
•
Any potential Infrastructure Solution to be verified by Network Modeling
Conceptual Network Modeling: Bringing new Network Products and Solutions from the idea stage into reality

RetractaNet vs. CityNet
Labour Cost Component Cost
RetractaNet Solution reduces labor costs. Total costs are significantly reduced
14000 12000 10000 euro 8000 6000 4000 2000 0
71% 29%
RetractaNet Solution Type
80% 20%
CityNet
CityNet Solution costs are dominated by labor cost in the distribution network
