What is FTTH?

• 	A quiet revolution is underway in the broadband business.World over a growing number of companies are striving to upgrade their networks to optic fiber from copper.
  	Fiber is affordable enough now for companies across the world to upgrade their networks and deliver broadband at never before speeds.
  	A growing number of households are connecting directly into fiber optic networks, and thereby tapping into a new generation of high-bandwidth applications and services. Fiber to the home networks now exceed 18 percent of the homes in the US and even larger percentages in Japan, Hongkong, Korea and many other countries.
  	FTTH - i.e. Fiber to the Home - is the only technology that can deliver enough bandwidth, reliably and at costs low enough for everyone!

Why Fiber?

• As technology advances, you 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 100Mbps. 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. ASDL 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 ASDL to FTTH.

Why Fiber over copper?

• Copper proponents, including most major telecom carriers, have opted for copper over fiber for years. They pointed out that copper was less expensive, provided sufficient bandwidth for consumer demands, was much more durable, and easier to install and test. The benefits of fiber simply didn't outweigh its downside-until now.This is all a thing of the past! The future lies with optic fiber. Traditional copper infrastructure has been around for decades, proven ideally to be suited for what it was originally intended for-narrowband voice services. It can still carry a 64 Kb/s, 4 KHz voice signal over a substantial distance. There's no problem for optical fiber. In fact, one bundle of fiber cable little thicker than a pencil can carry ALL of the world's current communications traffic. That's how scalable fiber is , it can carry all the bandwidth you will need for many years.

Fiber - Some facts & Figures

• The number of fixed broadband subscribers will rise to 501 million at the end of 2014, according to new market data released by ABI Research. Of those, about 106 million will subscribe to services delivered via fiber. Fiber broadband subscribers totaled 44 million at the end of 2009. File sharing, music downloads, IPTV, online gaming and video conferencing are all acting to increase the user demand for high speed Internet. The number of fiber broadband subscribers is increasing with growing popularity of these services.
