The increasing demands for new data transmission services and various bandwidth-related applications have led telecommunication operators to seriously consider optical fiber based networks. Enabling faster computer connectivity, fiber to the home (FTTH) seems to be an ideal choice to meet those demands in the long run. FTTH, a form of fiber-optic communication delivery, refers to […]

Two Common Types of Optical Splitters – FBT And PLC
Over the past few years, optical technology has made a huge step forward to meet the growing demands for optical performances in fiber applications. Take splitter technology for example, advances have been made in its fabrication and packaging, which makes optical splitters an even more important passive device in passive optical networks (PON). Optical Splitter […]
FTTH Access Networks – AON vs. PON
The deployment of FTTH (Fiber To The Home) access networks has come a long way before subscribers use optical fibers instead of copper lines to achieve broadband Internet access. FTTH is a form of fiber-optic communication delivery that reaches one living or working space. The fiber extends from the central office to the subscriber’s living […]
Passive and Active Network Fundamentals
Today we have access to more information than ever before. We live in a digital world and bandwidth is what makes a digital world happen. Aging copper networks are being taxed by residential and business customers. However, Passive Optical Network (PON) such as Fiber-To-The-Home (FTTH) are increasingly being deployed to meet the current and future […]
