Study Notes
Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH) Network Architecture
- Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH) network architecture uses optical fiber to provide all or part of the local loop for last mile telecommunications.
Generic Term for Fiber Broadband
- The generic term for any broadband network architecture using optical fiber for last mile telecommunications is Fiber-to-the-X (FTTX).
Fiber Optic Cables vs Copper Cables
- The main advantage of fiber optic cables over copper cables is that fiber optic cables have higher bandwidth and are less prone to electromagnetic interference.
Fiber Deployment Configurations
- Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH) and Fiber-to-the-Premises (FTTP) are deployment configurations that involve laying fiber all the way to the premises, home, or building.
Cost Savings in Areas without Metallic Facilities
- In areas not served by metallic facilities, there is a cost savings by not having to run fiber to the home, as the cost of laying metallic infrastructure is avoided.
