Whatever happened to fiber-to-the-home?

Journal of Lightwave Technology, 2004
The early vision of FTTH, which promised abundant, ubiquitous, and future-proof bandwidth to consumers, has remained largely unrealized nearly 20 years after its birth. We discuss the historical, competitive, economic, and service reasons for this and prospects for the future.

Fiber-to-the-home/radio-over-fiber transport systems

2009 14th OptoElectronics and Communications Conference, 2009
A directly modulated fiber-to-the-home (FTTH)/radio-over-fiber (ROF) transport system based on −1 side mode injection-locked and optoelectronic feedback techniques is proposed and demonstrated. Low BER values and clear eye diagrams were achieved in our proposed systems.

Fiber to the Home - The Tipping Point

Proceedings ELMAR 2006, 2006
Future of a dynamic process is hard and ungrateful to predict. The intention of this paper is to look at areas of further optical networks development and to consider some environmental circumstances for the next step forward-fiber to the home. Experience from the own communication past and examples chosen, may be a clue for the best direction.

Fiber to the home: A carrier perspective

2008 34th European Conference on Optical Communication, 2008
Service providers are experiencing growing demand for access bandwidth as standard definition broadcasting continues to evolve to high definition, more people are on line at any given time, and Internet becomes the preferred delivery mechanism for entertainment and full multimedia experience. Network architecture and technologies that provide long term

Fiber to the home

2012
Within recent years the request for broadband telecommunication networks has been constantly increasing. A strategy employed by telecommunication companies to increase the bandwidth on the last mile of the network is to lay optical fiber directly to the end customer. This strategy is denoted as fiber to the home (FTTH).

The First Fibers to Homes

Optics and Photonics News, 2011
Thirty-five years ago this month, Japan’s Ministry for International Trade and Industry announced plans to build the world’s first fibered city. A two-way fiber-optic network called the Highly Interactive Optical Visual Information (Hi-OVIS) was far ahead of its time.

Bringing the fiber to the home

IEEE Circuits and Devices Magazine, 1991
The issues involved in replacing copper telephone lines by fiber all the way to the subscriber's home are examined. The advantages of deploying single-mode fiber in the trunk and local-loop feeder networks are enumerated. The biggest problem namely, how to power the electronics in the absence of copper wire, is discussed.

Fiber-to-the-home/desktop using Ethernet

OFC/IOOC . Technical Digest. Optical Fiber Communication Conference, 1999, and the International Conference on Integrated Optics and Optical Fiber Communication, 2003
We propose, demonstrate, and characterize a novel, passive fiber-to-the-home/desktop system using Ethernet protocols and low-cost commercially available Ethernet and fiber-optic components.

Fiber-to-the-home: 1997? 1998?

Conference Proceedings. LEOS '97. 10th Annual Meeting IEEE Lasers and Electro-Optics Society 1997 Annual Meeting, 2002
On both telephone and cable fronts, attention has returned to "fiber-to-the-home" as a "now" solution. New networks and technologies have reduced costs, emphasis is shifting to "full-service" capabilities, and FTTH's costs and benefits are more-accurately understood.
