NETQUEST

 

The Project

The area wide expansion of fiber optic access networks (last mile) requires enormous financial resources. The according costs are mainly determined by the underground work (cable laying). Based on this fact, information about the relation between investment volume and corresponding return on investment  represents a crucial competitive factor for new network- or network augmentation projects.

The FHplus project NETQUEST focuses on the development of decision supporting tools for network carriers which allow the simulation and optimization of cable laying routes for new networks or network augmentation projects within urban areas.

NETQUEST is a FHplus project. The FHplus program is founded by the Austrian Research Promotion Agency (FFG).
