Apparatuses and methods for facilitating an integrated network and system planning tool

A non-transitory machine-readable medium, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processing system including a processor, facilitate performance of operations, the operations comprising:

• identifying a first opportunity for deploying a fiber medium to support a first plurality of communication services at a first location, resulting in a first identification;
• identifying that a second opportunity exists for supporting a second plurality of communication services at a second location that is different from the first location, resulting in a second identification;
• determining, based on the first identification and the second identification, that the first location and the second location are within a threshold distance of one another, resulting in a first determination;
• determining, based on the first identification, the second identification, and the first determination, that a benefit associated with the first opportunity and the second opportunity exceeds a cost associated with the first opportunity and the second opportunity in an amount that is greater than a threshold, resulting in a second determination;
• generating, based on the second determination, a recommendation to pursue the first opportunity and the second opportunity;
• and
• transmitting the recommendation to a communication device for presentation by the communication device.

A method, comprising:

• obtaining, by a processing system including a processor, an indication of a first address corresponding to a location that is a candidate to obtain communication services via a deployment of a fiber link;
• obtaining, by the processing system, a second indication of a second address corresponding to a second location that is a candidate to obtain second communication services, wherein the second location is different from the location;
• determining, by the processing system and based on the indication and the second indication, that the location and the second location are within a threshold distance of one another, resulting in a first determination;
• determining, by the processing system and based on the first determination and a plurality of datasets sourced from a plurality of data sources, that it is economically feasible to deploy the fiber link from a third address to the first address to support the communication services, resulting in a second determination;
• and
• generating, by the processing system and based on the second determination, a recommendation for:
• deploying the fiber link to support the communication services and supporting the second communication services.
