Fibre optic access to end-user - A guideline to building of FTTX fibre optic network

The purpose of this report is to be a guideline for those considering to install a high bandwidth (high bit-rate) FttX-network. After studying the report, operators, communities, energy companies, installers and others will understand the necessary steps to take to plan and install networks with high quality and cost effectiveness, and to secure a uniform structure and a high quality level on such networks.
