Fibre optic networks are approaching the status of essential infrastructure for a modern economy. Yet, the telecom sector lacks readily available and usable data on fibre optic network infrastructure.

The Open Fibre Data Standard (OFDS) describes:

• What data to publish about fibre optic networks in order to meet a range of use cases

• How to structure and format data for publication and use

To get an introduction to open fibre data, the data standard and the key concepts behind it, read the primer.

To learn how to publish and use open fibre data, read the guidance.

For details of the OFDS data model and publication formats and for the specific rules that need to be followed to publish OFDS data, read the reference.
