Fibre Network Design provides industry leading FTTX network planning and design, with comprehensive, buildable, infrastructure designs tailored to every client’s need.

Initial stages of design include ghost/ spine designs, UPRN cleanse, civils and third-party access, stats, cabinet placement, OLT placement, cabling and joint locations, NOI, and other bespoke services. To ensure the project is feasible, the next stage FND moves to involves detailed reporting concerning elements such as land registry, adoption status (of land), SSSI (Sites of Special Scientific Interest) investigations, and desktop surveys of sensitive areas. It provides its initial BOM, PIA validation pack, GIS shape files, and considers any other requests. The next stage of FTTX planning and design is to conduct surveys. It encompasses the full CDM compliant survey and documentation process, covers route feasibility, HLD checks, areas of LOC, risks to defect in-build, TM/TTRO assessed, hazards, MDU identification, new asset locations, capacity checks, route proving and more. Next comes the final design period involving the evolution of HLD to complete high quality, buildable Low Level Design based on the survey, route proving and validation.

The company’s internal quality control team ensures the highest standards are maintained through the whole process. With FND in the role of Principal Designer, end to end accountability is enabled, providing quality and success to clients. Fibre Network Design’s B2B network solutions follow a similar approach to allow commercial services to capture complex networks, industrial scale projects, and fully integrated solutions. As with its FTTX services, the B2B Network Solutions begin with an extensive project analysis, before progressing to high level design. After the detailed reporting phase that follows, comes the surveys, route proving the final designs, and the ongoing management and administration overseen by the FND support team. In addition to its FTTX and B2B services, FND also looks after fully certified teams of experienced surveyors who can complete comprehensive surveys to the highest of standards. It can do this as part of a wider design project all under one roof, or as a standalone service. In addition to this, FND has another focus sector which is that of renewable energies.
