What is FTTH

What is FTTH:

FTTH (Fiber to the Home) Refers to a high speed broadband telecommunication system based on fiber optic cables for delivery of multiple advanced services such as telephone, broadband internet and television to homes and business. FTTH is a replacement for age old copper infrastructure.

Currently connectivity to the home which is traditionally called as last mile represents more than 80% of all the telecom cabling is on copper. Converting all this copper infrastructure to ftth is a massive task.

Why FTTH:

As technology advances, we deserve better and better Internet access services. 56K dialup, ASDL and VSDL are all things of the past and now fiber-optic broadband has taken center stage. Now you can break the speed barrier, reaching once unthinkable speeds of even 1000Mbps.

• As the Internet technology matures, we use more and more online applications and the websites we visit now feature more images, flash and video clips. As a result we need faster Internet access and better broadband services.
• Copper based technology which offers different upload and download speeds has become obsolete. FTTH is the future of broadband Internet and people are making the switch from Copper to FTTH.
• Optical fibre is now recognized as the main building block for future high-capacity home broadband networks. The transmission capacity of fiber is almost unlimited and is unconditional compared to existing copper cabling systems.
