FiberPlanIT DESIGNER

Do you want to generate the best

deploymentplans for your project area?
FiberPlanIT DESIGNER automates your design
process while optimizing your deployment plans.
Identify cost-optimized choices
FiberPlanIT presents you with optimal choices for locations of aggregation points, cable
routes and splices, exploring the complex balance between those network components.
Our best-in-class smart algorithms are the result of years of experience.

Save on
deployment
costs

Fine-tune your plan

Make different OSP design choices and quantify the impact on costs in an iterative
process. You can integrate last-minute field survey information and easily adapt the
design. As such your engineers stay in complete control, creating the design that gives you
the best trade-off between the cost to build the network, the practicality to build it and the
operating costs.

Stay
completely
in control

Efficiently create high-quality plans

FiberPlanIT makes your design process fast, allowing your engineers to design 7000
homes in less than 3 days. Additionally, the seamless integration with third party
software for network operation facilitates the creation of network objects in the network
documentation tool.

Save
time while
increasing
quality

Our smart algorithms

automatically connect homes using
the most cost-efficient route.

Cost-efficient POP
locations are easy to
adjust.

Auto-generate the Bill of Material.

Easily adjust design

details, such as automated
clusters and cabinets.

Flexibly
configure your
own FTTx design.

No two FTTx projects are the same, hence your project

requires a dedicated approach. With FiberPlanIT, a unique
and flexible software platform developed by Comsof, we can
support you throughout the whole planning process for your
FTTxnetwork: from the construction of a solid business case
(with the help of the FiberPlanITSimulator) to the production
of detailed roll-out plans (with the FiberPlanITDesigner).
