This paper aims at identifying an architecture model for a fibre‐optic‐based customer access network optimized at the minimum cost for the implementation technology and passive components inserted between the distribution centre and the subscriber premises. The optimization has been carried out on the basis of technical and economic considerations by taking into account the technology and market trends foreseen in this field. Moreover, a prediction of the cost reduction trend in the short‐and medium‐term scenario (up to 1995) has been derived for both the various passive components and the overall network implementation costs.
