FTTH and its implication to fiber optical communications
Abstract:
FTTH has talked for many years. Finally Verizon FiOS
FTTH is taking off, and good revenue and growth potential is projected by
Verizon. NTT has launched FTTH for a few years, not they are adding the
video portion to accelerate the growth. European countries are adding fiber
to home and IPTV with growing interest. Even China has started FTTH trials.
What are the architectures of these FTTH networks?
What are the key components for these networks?
What are the opportunities and challenges for fiber optical communication
community?
This talk will address the main architectures of the FTTH network in the
world, their pros and cons, and their requirement for components. The
bandwidth demand of FTTH and its implication for growth in access, metro and
long-haul network will also be discussed in this presentation.
