Tuchola County Broadband Network (TCBN)

In the paper the designing project
(plan) of Tuchola City broadband IP optical network
has been presented. The extended version
of network plan constitute technical part of network
Feasibility Study, that it is expected to be
implemented in Tuchola and be financed from
European Regional Development Funds. The
network plan presented in the paper contains
both topological structure of fiber optic network
as well as the active equipment for the network.
In the project described in the paper it has
been suggested to use Modular Cable System -
MCS for passive infrastructure and Metro Ethernet
technology for active equipment. The presented
solution provides low cost of construction
(CAPEX), ease of implementation of the
network and low operating cost (OPEX). Moreover
the parameters of installed Metro Ethernet
switches in the network guarantee the scalability
of the network for at least 10 years.
