Structural Properties of Urban Street Networks for FTTH deployment

Abstract-The fixed access network is a major cost element for telecom operators that strongly depends on the underlying street network. In this paper the structural properties of nine urban street networks in Greece, grouped by their corresponding household and building density, are analysed based on Complex Network Theory principles. The Primal approach is used to turn GIS data into spatial graphs and various topological and geographical metrics are observed. This paper intends to demonstrate the importance of the urban morphology complexity on the cost of a telecommunication access network
