Pyramid Research expects the number of fiber to the home (FTTH) and fiber to the building (FTTB) connections to reach 5.1 million by the end of the year. This is part of an overall trend that will see FTTH/FTTB connections to increase at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 34.9% over the next five […]
1. Use an ONT (Optical Network Terminal) / ONU (Optical Network Unit) Tester to determine if the ONT/ONU at the subscriber’s end is responding to downstream signals from the OLT (Optical Line Terminal). The Active ONT /ONUidentifier clamps on to 0.9mm buffered fiber, or 2mm or 3 mm jacketed fiber, or 2.0mm x 3.0mm drop cable, senses and […]
Splitter-based FTTx architectures are a compromise between cost and the flexibility of running fiber to every subscriber location. Instead of running fiber from the central office/ headend to every home like in a P2P arrangement, which is extremely expensive, splitter-based architectures run a single fiber from the headend/central office out to a central distribution point […]
