Open Access Network (OAN) refers to a horizontal network architecture or a business model in telecommunication, which separates the use of a network from provisioning, ie the establishment and operation of the network

Internetprovider, also competing, rent in an OAN network only the bandwidth just needed. The infrastructure administrator can better utilize these resources by parallel marketing the resource. Especially in rural regions - with low population density - this multi-market marketing improves the framework for economic network development. The OAN principle is often applied to WiFi networks and is today a possible business model for municipal fiber optic networks. Edit source text Single-level Edit source text
