This document discusses fiber to the home (FTTH) technology, which uses optical fiber run directly from a central point to residential premises to provide high-speed internet access. It notes the advantages of FTTH over previous copper-based technologies, including enormous data capacity, easy upgradability, long transmission distances, and lower maintenance costs. The document also compares FTTH and ADSL broadband, noting that FTTH uses fiber optic cables for 10x faster speeds than telephone lines. It discusses India's lower adoption of FTTH compared to other countries and the potential for Reliance Jio's fiber optic network to increase broadband penetration and FTTH adoption in India.

2. For the access of network
technologies, there are
normally two ways i.e. Fixed
and the second is the
Wireless way. In this
tutorial, we will discuss the
‘Fixed’ method, technically
called as the FTTH
Technology.

Fiber to the Home or simply FTTH
is a technology that uses optical
fiber directly from the central
point to the residential premises
(as shown in the following image).
It provides uninterrupted high-
speed internet service. Here, “H”
includes both home and small
business.

Why FTTH?
Fiber offers a number of advantages over
the previous technologies (Copper). The
most important ones are as follows −
•Enormous information carrying capacity
•Easily upgradeable
•Easy to install
•Allows fully symmetric services
•Reduces operations and maintenance
costs
•Covers very long distances

5. www.lawofcompounding.net
• Strong, flexible, and
reliable
• Allows small diameter
and lightweight
cables
• Safe and secure
• Immune to
electromagnetic
interference (EMI)
• Lower cost

6. ADSL and FTTH are similar,
however they use different
mediums to bring the broadband
to your home.
Where as ADSL Uses Telephone
Line to Internet, FTTH Uses fiber
optic cable which is 10X faster
than Telephone line connection

FTTH in India?
www.lawofcompounding.net
“India is far behind many countries in FTTH, India has only 1.25
million fibre-to-the-home connections.
According to a report by iDate Research for the FTTH Council APAC,
Singapore has 95% FTTH penetration, South Korea 82.9%, Hong Kong
71.4% and Malaysia 16.4%.

8. Why would a home user require a
bandwidth 1 Gbps?
1 Gbps, equivalent to 1,000 Mbps, is currently
the fastest broadband speed available in India
and most parts of the world.
The question really is: Why not 1 Gbps?
Having 1 Gbps broadband at home is akin to
having unlimited broadband, both in terms of
speed and usage, irrespective of the number
of devices connected at any given time.

Why are the bigger players still not
offering 1 Gbps? How will Reliance Jio's
foray into fibre optics affect the industry?
The traditional players had set up copper infrastructure years
ago, mainly for wired telephony.
In comparison to copper, fiber is much faster in transmission,
has low attenuation or loss of signal over a distance and the
overall network is much stronger.
Fiber is designed to carry data whereas copper was used for
voice transmission.

10. Continue…
Not just 1 Gbps, we will be able to get speeds
up to 10 Gbps, which has become the norm in
a few parts of the world, in a few years from
now.
Jio will bring about a very positive change.
With their entry, both the broadband
penetration as well as the FTTH (Fiber To The
Home) market will grow, and we look forward
to that.
