A New Techno-Economic Modeling and Analysis of Emerging Broadband Access Networks

In this paper, we develop a new techno-economic model of emerging broadband access networks and analyze a set of effective network deployment strategies for Multi Access Integrated Node(MAIN) system. The proposed analysis method helps us effectively deal with the inherent uncertainty of technologies and cost factors. This paper describes a new modeling methodology based on the decision and risk analysis. In order to develop modeling and analysis methodology, we evaluate a set of key decision factors in deploying broadband access networks. Then, we analyze the impact of critical factors such as cost and demand uncertainty. Next, we generate an annual cash flow during study period, and show a net present value of the architecture, along with in-depth sensitivity and risk analysis of key decision factors. Finally, we generate an optimal broadband evolution strategy.
