Choosing the right architecture for your FTTH network is essential. Your network’s design has a major impact on both deployment costs and network performance.

FTTH learning never stops.

Every year, innovations in fiber optic material and installations impact how network developers approach their FTTH deployments.

As someone who builds FTTH networks, it’s important that you always know where to learn about the latest and greatest advances in the space.  

There is no such thing as a perfect fiber optic network.

Network issues arise for many different reasons, from bad weather to vandalism. As a network operator, you need to build redundancies into your network and anticipate problems that could compromise services for your clients.

Keeping track of fiber optic terminology is tricky.

When it comes to discussing FTTH deployments, there are additional definitions and concepts that are important to know as a network developer. Below is a snapshot of the most important terms to help you get started.

The fiber optics space has evolved significantly over the last several decades.

Many different kinds of stakeholders have helped shape the industry into what it is today. However, a few organizations are particularly noteworthy for their past contributions and continued dedication to fiber.

In October, the Fiber Broadband Association released its first ever Fiber Guide, a free downloadable report that covers the latest trends and developments across the industry.

At a time when internet demand is skyrocketing worldwide, the Guide helps explain why fiber is the broadband technology of the future.

FTTH deployment has grown dramatically over the last decade.

This trend is only going to continue as internet use expands across the globe. Over the next ten years, millions of people all over the world will sign up for FTTH services.

On March 6th, researchers from the University of St. Andrews’ School of Physics and Astronomy developed a laser measurement technology that could have major implications for the fiber optics space.

As a fiber network operator, understanding how to design and deploy fiber to the home (FTTH) networks can create a huge advantage in the market.

The underlying technology has been around for decades. However, not until recently has it made economic sense for developers to build FTTH networks on a wide scale.

Now is the time to strike.

OSPInsight International Inc. is pleased to announce the release of OSPInsight Web 9—The Future of Fiber Management. For fiber network operators, OSPInsight Web 9 provides the tools and workflows necessary to know and understand a fiber network, troubleshoot fiber breaks, and analyze excess capacity to ensure a profitable outside plant.
