Project Background<br />
Sustainable Development is defined as development that:<br />
“meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of<br />
future generations to meet their own needs”.*<br />
The goal was to assess the sustainability aspects of European <strong>FTTH</strong><br />
deployments in urban, suburban, and rural scenarios using Life Cycle<br />
Analysis (LCA) methodology<br />
The <strong>FTTH</strong> Council Europe’s key objectives for this study were:<br />
– Evaluate and understand the environmental impacts from the<br />
implementation of <strong>FTTH</strong> technology<br />
– Qualify the resulting quality of life enhancements from the point<br />
of view of sustainable development<br />
– Educate stakeholders by providing a new approach for enabling<br />
the promotion and acceleration of <strong>FTTH</strong> solutions<br />
