FTTH: Discover the Characteristics of This Ultimate Technology
Fiber to the Home or simply FTTH is a technology that directly uses optical fiber from the central point to the residential base. It provides constant high-speed internet service. Here, “H” includes both home and small business. FTTH is the ultimate fiber access solution where every subscriber is connected to an optical fiber. The deployment options are based on a complete optical fiber path from the Optical Line Termination (OLT) right to the subscriber premises. This option supports high bandwidth services and content to each client and ensures maximum bandwidth for future demands of new services. Hence, Hybrid options including ‘part’ fiber and ‘part’ copper infrastructure systems are not included. An optical fiber network can be used in two ways: An active optical network and a Passive optical network. The prevailing mass FTTH deployment is based on the passive method. Therefore, let’s understand the Passive Method in detail. Passive Optical Networks The vital interface poi...
