About
Plan a fiber-to-the-room (FTTR/GPON) network for your hotel or resort — from first inputs to a quote-ready bill of materials, in under a minute.
How it works
Walk through five steps. Each focuses on one part of the planning process; you can jump between them from the sidebar at any time.
- Parameters — enter project name, number of endpoints, longest fiber distance, bandwidth per endpoint, and optional services (WiFi, CATV, PoE, IPTV).
- System Design — the planner picks OLT, splitter cascade and endpoint model; you see the bandwidth estimation gauge and the full optical power budget (incl. RF overlay when CATV is selected).
- Topology — top-down schematic of the system (ISP, OLT, splitters, endpoints, RF / IPTV path when active).
- BOM — printable bill of materials ready to hand off to procurement.
- Quote — mailto-based request form that ships the configuration summary to AXING support.

Methodology
Bandwidth estimation
Hotel-industry formula per HTNG and Broadband Forum TR-126. The per-endpoint demand is multiplied by:
- 50 % endpoint concurrency — not all rooms active simultaneously
- 80 % room occupancy
- 5 Mbps per active user (7 Mbps when IPTV is selected)
- WiFi factor 1.25× when in-room WiFi is selected
- 20 % headroom
Optical power budget
Per-link loss computed from catalog values:
- Fiber attenuation 0.4 dB/km @ 1310 nm (OVK spec)
- Connector loss 0.3 dB each (OLT, every splitter stage, endpoint)
- Splitter insertion loss per datasheet
- WDM insertion 1.0 dB (OMX 1514-04) when RF overlay is active
Each device's optical class (per ITU-T G.984.2) sets its Tx power range and Rx sensitivity window. When OLT and ONU belong to different classes, the effective budget is bounded by the weaker end of the link.
| Class | OLT Tx | ONU Rx sens | Max path loss |
|---|---|---|---|
| A | −3…+2 dBm | −23 dBm | 20 dB |
| B | −2…+3 dBm | −26 dBm | 25 dB |
| B+ | +1.5…+5 dBm | −27/−28 dBm | 28 dB |
| C+ | +3…+7 dBm | −30 dBm | 32 dB |
| C++ | +4.5…+10 dBm | −31 dBm | 35+ dB |
The current AXING catalog uses Class C++ OLTs and Class B+ ONUs (highlighted row above). The asymmetric link is bounded by the weaker B+ end, giving an effective downstream budget of 32.5 dB. RF overlay at 1550 nm reuses the same shared-plant loss and adds the 1:N RF source split between OTX/EDFA and the OMX channels.
Hardware selection
Exactly one OLT per system (catalog constraint — 1× OLTH 4-01 max). Splitter cascade picked automatically: single-stage 1:N up to 64 endpoints per port; two-stage 1:2 + 1:N beyond. Endpoint chosen by feature flags (PoE → OSE 44-01, CATV → OEP 43-01, WiFi or multi-port → OEP 41-01, default → OEP 11-01).
Scope & assumptions
- General
- Preliminary system design from simplified assumptions. Always validate against detailed requirements and site conditions before ordering.
- Splitters
- The planner picks the lowest-loss ratio for the computed endpoints-per-port (cascaded 1:2 + 1:N when no single stage fits). Real deployments often use per-floor or per-riser splitter locations that are not modelled here.
- Endpoints
- Selected by port count and feature flags. AXING publishes no WiFi-integrated endpoint — when WiFi is selected, an external access point per endpoint is assumed (not listed in the BOM). Wireless coverage, capacity and PoE power budget are not modelled. The PoE + CATV combination is not supported by any single endpoint.
- Bandwidth
- Codec, resolution and channel mix for IPTV are out of scope. The streamer listed in the BOM is the MK 16-06H as a baseline — it outputs RF and IPTV simultaneously, so a single headend covers both overlays. For IPTV-only deployments the MIP 16-06 (or another model from the MIP range) is an alternative. Scale to your actual channel count; full AXING DVB headend range.
- Optical budget
- Loss computed from catalog values only. Splice losses, connector degradation and wavelength drift are not included — keep a safety margin.
- Redundancy
- Single-headend design (1× OLT, one WDM, one streamer). No dual uplink, redundant OLT, UPS or backup path. Add explicitly for production deployments.

Requested bandwidth not guaranteed. With 1× OLTH 4-01 (4 GPON ports), each port serves — endpoints. At 50 % concurrency the sustainable per-endpoint capacity is ≈ — Mbps — below the requested — Mbps.
Bandwidth Estimation
Expected demand exceeds 1 Gbps — verify ISP uplink capacity.
Estimation methodology
Endpoints do not map 1:1 to rooms; a single endpoint can supply multiple rooms or units depending on bandwidth demand.
Dividing the estimated bandwidth by the per-user demand (— Mbps × — headroom = —), this configuration serves up to — concurrent active users.
Based on hospitality bandwidth planning best practices per HTNG and Broadband Forum TR-126. Concurrency, occupancy, and headroom factors reflect industry-standard assumptions for hotel/resort deployments.
