Design of land optical fiber backbone communication network in North Sumatera

The demand for high-speed data transmission has increased significantly in recent years. Therefore, a transmission backbone connecting among districts is necessary to support existing backbone network which connect all provincial capitals. In this study, a fiber optic communication network backbone in North Sumatera province of Indonesia is designed to support broadcast connectivity to all districts. North Sumatera is chosen because it has the largest population in Sumatera. The proposed network covers 29 districts in North Sumatera with 27 land routes. Power link and rise time budget for all routes show acceptable results which below the allowed maximum loss of 32 dB and maximum dispersion time of 350 ps, respectively. Therefore, the proposed design network is feasible to be implemented.
