Access Types

Copper Wireless Fiber

WHY FTTH?
Broad range of services

Multi-play/Triple play
best-in-class services. Extraordinary amount of bandwidth for future services.

 Fiber provides : More bandwidth

Carries signals farther

More reliable and secure

Longer life span than any other transmission medium.

Shared Fiber Fiber leaving the central office is actually shared by many customers. TYPES
Active optical network (AON)

Passive optical network (PON)

Active Optical Network

AON uses optical switches to distribute the signal, thus incorporating the customers' premises and the central office .

AON

P2P & P2MP Configuration

Passive Optical Network

Point-to-multipoint, Single optical fiber to serve multiple premises, typically 32. A PON configuration reduces the amount of fiber Encryption is used to prevent eavesdropping

Passive Optical Network

PONs do not require any power in the outside plant to power the filters or splitters, thereby lowering the overall operational cost and complexity. Single fiber either in a ring or tree technology is shared, this "high-cost" capital deployment of fiber for several kilometers is lower than if the carrier were to deploy individual fibers to each location.

Passive Optical Network

Optical Line Terminal (OLT) resides in the central office or head-end. OLT transmits an optical signal to a splitter, from which the signal is distributed to multiple customers directly or via another splitter. Optical-Network Terminals(ONT)/ Optical-Network Unit (ONU) terminates the signal at the customer premises PON deployments define a maximum distance, typically 20 to 30 km, between the OLT and the ONU (ONT) up to 32 locations.
