The Vodafone Group has started rolling out fibre to the home (FTTH) programmes in Ireland and Portugal as part of a €600 million network expansion programme. Ireland will be the first country in Europe to deliver the end to end fibre through its electricity infrastructure nationwide. As part of SIRO, a joint venture in Ireland […]
2015 Global Fiber Optic Connector Industry Report is a professional and in-depth research report on the world’s major regional market conditions of the Fiber Optic Connector industry, focusing on the main regions (North America, Europe and Asia) and the main countries (United States, Germany, Japan and China). As for FTTH network, Data transmission network, and […]
Global GPON revenue declined 7 percent quarter-over-quarter to reach $1.32 billion. This decline was primarily associated with declining ASPs across all regions. Year-over-year, revenue increased by 32 percent. Asia Pacific continues to drive the majority of demand, where China is currently in the process of large scale FTTH deployments due to government mandated regulation. OLT […]
Optical fibre has incredibly low loss coupled with extremely high capacity, making it a unique transmission medium. From the point of view of the access network The Shannon Limit can effectively be ignored. Distance is not an inherent limitation as optical signals can travel 70–80 km before they need to be amplified. Instead the limitations […]
VDSL2 & Co: ever more promising technological developments VDSL2 has begun to be implemented, and several telcos have based their ultra-fast broadband strategies squarely on copper infrastructure right up to the customer premises. If VDSL can deliver theoretical speeds of around 50 Mbps near the exchange or cabinet, Vectoring, which consists of reducing noise among […]
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 […]
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 […]
