Summary Fiber wireless access networks (FiWi) are capable of providing broadband 100 Mbit/s services with acceptable costs and can be considered as a competitive alternative to fiber to the home (FTTH). Techno‐economic analysis of viable FiWi architectures is needed in order to obtain the most suitable solution taking into account both technical and economical viewpoints. In this paper, a new approach to techno‐economic analysis of the FiWi networks is proposed. The proposed approach is based on the net present value calculation with the source packet traffic generation rate and traffic intensity as input parameters. As a precondition to net present value calculation, a traffic optimization procedure that assures the quality of experience is performed. Case study results indicate the usability of the proposed method.
