This document discusses the need for broadband access across communities and the benefits of fiber networks. It notes that over 150 communities now have gigabit broadband access. A fiber network can support current and future bandwidth demands through technologies like GPON, XGS-PON, and NG-PON2 that allow multiple services to operate over one fiber using different wavelengths. While technologies like copper and coax have limitations, fiber has massive bandwidth capabilities and is reliable and future-proof. The document reviews different outside plant architectures used for fiber networks and how electronic solutions at the datacenter and customer premises support delivery of services over the fiber infrastructure.
