What is FTTH? Fiber to the Home.

FTTH stands for Fiber to the Home. It represents the latest in communications technology.

It consists of fiber-optic cables in a network that delivers communications signals as pulses of light. Hair-thin, flexible glass fibers comprise a fiber-optic network. FTTH goes from a service provider’s headquarters to a subscriber for their use only.

High-speed Internet carriers – and potential customers – see fiber to the home as the wave of the future. It’s replacing networks made of telephone wires and coaxial cables. It’s a network capable of meeting increased Internet demands in both home and business – for speed and capacity.

FTTH networks can deliver phone and TV services too. Advantages include increased reliability as compared to older network structures, and more services available. A fiber-optic network provides greater bandwidth for apartments, condos, homes and businesses, which include:

BOOMING VIDEO POTENTIAL | Cable and DSL Internet connections could be subject to buffering and disconnections during video consumption. FTTH connections carry enough bandwidth to sustain heavy downloading and streaming without buffering.

POWERFUL INTERNET CONNECTIONS | It’s more than instant video. FTTH connections deliver instant uploads to social media sites and other common Internet activities. With fiber to the home, Internet users can carry out media-rich activity without delays.

CRYSTAL CLEAR CALLS | FTTH phones aren’t subject to dead zones and dead batteries, as mobile phones can be. The FTTH network can support a dependable landline phone with a suite of calling features.
