Fiber-to-the-Home Technologies is fundamentally based on all the
variable factors of development and advancement of the promising
technology of FTTH, which is or going to be the key broadband telecom
access technique to the end users. The optical technological issues
cover from network architectures to component development and
integration, including analysis of the transported signals and survey of
the FTTH projects and the standards, with the aim to obtain a broad
analysis of all technical elements and concepts involved in near future
deployment.
FTTH is the key true broadband telecom access technique to the
end-users. It is lately gaining a practical high interest as enabling
technological limitations are being solved, in a cost-effective way.
While access network deployment based on fiber is becoming comparable in
cost to competing technologies (and even cheaper in some scenarios), the
great difference on performances and future-proof technology, makes
today the fiber an attractive choice. The increasing interest for new
broadband IP services like bi-directional video communications between
individuals will be only efficiently supported in its full quality by
the optical media.
The text represents a prospect of future in access networks. Considering
their direct impact in both the end-users and operators or
service-providers, we consider it can bring a new era, generating new
perspectives and jobs. Fiber-to-the-Home Technologies tries to make
people know about the existence and incredible perspectives of
Fiber-to-the-Home.
As a conclusion, the presented techno-economical advances in all-optical
access networks in this text, both in research and commercial levels,
reveal that Fiber-To-The-Home can feasibly progress from the research
stage to the massive commercial field in a hopefully short-term period.
Even today, the analysis leads the fiber to be considered as the right
medium choice in new access network deployment for new operators.
