Popis: This paper presents a methodology for fast and reliable cost estimation of fixed access network deployment on any urban area. It is based on theoretical results presented in former papers for distances and attenuation results, adding the most important part of cost estimation. In particular it is showed that good estimations can be obtained in a very short time. The territory to be deployed, the network architecture and the scenarios are defined by the user via two user-friendly prototypes. The first one helps defining the limit of the city and computes mathematical parameters representing its street system. The second one computes global information on the network deployment on this territory, namely the probability distributions of distances and attenuation from a node of the network to the final customer, and an evaluation of the deployment cost, once given an architecture and engineering rules. The results were compared on two real French urban territories (in Tours and Rouen) to those given by an optimization tool currently used by Orange.
