How is AI changing FTTH network design?
The global FTTH network design market is expected to grow from $1.3 billion in 2020 to $3.5 billion by 2025, with a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 18.5%, according to a recent MarketsandMarkets report. This growth is significantly driven by the increasing adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in FTTH network design.
AI is transforming FTTH network designs in key areas, including Network Planning and Optimization, Fault Detection, Predictive Maintenance, Troubleshooting, and Customer Demand & Service Management, including forecasting. AI can create detailed, interactive 3D models of network infrastructure, making it easier to visualize and analyse complex networks. It can gather and analyse historical data on designs, identify patterns, and predict and plan network elements based on existing topologies and geographical information. This input can be used to configure network elements and optimise performance and planning. Generated reports on network performance, usage trends, and maintenance activities, can save time and reduce manual errors.
