Fiber-to-the-home: US policy issues

IEEE Technology and Society Magazine, 1991
The future of fiber-to-the-home is examined, and doubts are expressed about forecasts of rapidly growing demand. The advantages of optical fiber systems are described. Worldwide implementation of fiber systems under present policies are discussed. The failure of videotex in the US is considered, focusing on the potential role of fiber in making it a ...

Fiber to and in the home

11th International Conference on Integrated Optics and Optical Fibre Communications. 23rd European Conference on Optical Communications IOOC-ECOC97, 1997
FTTH (fibre-to-the-home) regains importance due to the growing need for full-service networks combined with several important cost factors, all of which make FTTH attractive now for certain applications. Inside homes, fiber also appears to have near-term possibilities for high-speed networking.

KT's deployment with Fiber To The Home

2008 10th International Conference on Advanced Communication Technology, 2008
The competition between Telcos and cable TV operators becomes intense for the broadband Internet service market in Korea. Also, IPTV service is becoming a hot issue these days since it is recently allowed for Telcos to provide it in Korea. This paper presents the current status of broadband access network and the various FTTH(fiber to the home ...

Fiber to the home: next generation network

SPIE Proceedings, 2006
Next generation networks capable of carrying converged telephone, television (TV), very high-speed internet, and very high-speed bi-directional data services (like video-on-demand (VOD), Game etc.) strategy for Fiber To The Home (FTTH) is presented. The potential market is analyzed. The barriers and some proper strategy are also discussed.

Internet service and fiber-to-the-home

Proceedings of Optical Fiber Communication Conference (, 1997
NTT is to start deploying a new fiber-to-the-curb (FTTC) type of STMPON access system to provide mainly POTS/ISDN services in those access areas where old metallic cables need to be replaced with new cables. Fibers will reach the last point before homes on an area-by-area basis.

GPON for fiber to the home

SPIE Proceedings, 2005
Finding the right technology to cover the last few miles of any network has always been a problematic challenge for service providers. Whether wireless, copper or optical links are to be used, there's inevitably a set of competing technologies to choose from. Finding the optimum solution can be a complex process, with numerous interlinked factors to be

Fiber to the home: the technology behind Heathrow

IEEE LCS, 1990
In July 1989, Southern Bell began deploying a fiber access system capable of carrying 54 cable television (CATV) channels, as well as plain old telephone service (POTS) and integrated services digital network (ISDN) services in Heathrow, Florida.

The economics of fiber to the home revisited

Bell Labs Technical Journal, 2003
In this paper, we examine broadband access networks based on very high bandwidth digital subscriber line (VDSL), passive optical network (PON), and active optical network (AON) technologies, and discuss the cost and performance tradeoffs of these technologies as a function of the critical network parameters (e.g., dedicated user bandwidth, population ...

Fiber to the home: reality and dream

11th International Conference on Integrated Optics and Optical Fibre Communications. 23rd European Conference on Optical Communications IOOC-ECOC97, 1997
In order to revolutionize the communication network in the 21st century, NTT is concentrating its attention on full access network opticalization. There are three conditions that must be simultaneously satisfied to achieve full opticalisation. They are as follows: (1) Further cost reduction of the fiber-optic access network. (2) Development of a system

An Innovative Approach to Fiber-To-The-Home (FTTH)

Advanced Materials Research, 2012
In the last mile of optical access network, FTTX such as fiber-to-the-cabinet, curb, building, home and node construction cost per subscriber has always been a concern for the network operators. In order to cost down the fiber and transceiver deployment, passive optical network (PON) are developed to replace active point-to-point (P2P).
