Open Access Network
Open Access Network ( OAN ) in telecommunications refers to a horizontal network architecture or a business model that separates the use of a network from provisioning , i.e. from setting up and operating the network.
Internet providers, even competing ones, only rent the bandwidth they need in an OAN network. The infrastructure builder can better utilize the resource through the parallel marketing of the resource. Especially in rural regions - with low population density - this multiple marketing improves the framework for an economic network development.
The OAN principle is often used in WiFi networks and is now a possible business model for municipal fiber optic networks.

The uniform design of the optical building or site infrastructure and the resulting possibility of shared use or reuse result in potential financial savings that should help accelerate the installation of optical access networks.
