Key Challenges in the European FTTH Wholesale Market

The FTTH market has shifted its focus from network deployment to service adoption and Return on Investment (ROI). In this context, wholesale operators (NetCos) face operational and architectural challenges that directly impact growth and profitability.

Streamlining ISP Onboarding

The incorporation of new service providers (ISPs/FVNOs) must be efficient and based on standardized APIs to accelerate revenue generation and ROI.

Reducing Order Failures

Inaccurate footprint data and poor address management lead to installation failures, resulting in lost revenue and higher installation costs.

Controlling IT Operational Costs

Adapting B2C processes to the wholesale context creates inefficiencies and high costs. Scalable automation and a modular architecture are required.

Efficient Post-Sales Processes

Post-sales management must be automated and proactive (e.g., predictive maintenance) to improve service reliability and reduce operational costs.

Our Approach: The ICTQ Strategy

To navigate the complexities of the wholesale market and achieve growth targets, Optare utilizes the ICTQ framework (Income, Cost, Time-to-Market, Quality) to align technology strategy with business goals.

The Solutions: Architecture for Wholesale Agility

The TM Forum’s Open Digital Architecture (ODA) is the paradigm shift that allows operators to move away from monolithic systems to a digitized, automated, and partner-centric framework. Optare Solutions designs and implements this architecture for FTTH wholesale operations.

Puntos clave
  • Catalog-Based Orchestration (SOM/ROM): Centralizes the definition of products, services, and resources. This allows operators to quickly simplify new service offerings and manage multi-service deliveries.
  • Microservices Architecture: Enables the implementation of modular, plug-and-play components. This flexibility facilitates the rapid deployment of new services without requiring a full system overhaul.
  • Zero-Touch Interoperability (Automation): Promotes seamless integration in multi-vendor environments, reducing the time to onboard new Internet Network Operators (INOs) and automating provisioning.
  • No Vendor Lock-In: By promoting standardized architectures and open interfaces, ODA ensures operators can incorporate the best solutions, maintaining customization and independence.
