Everything you need to know about FTTH (Fiber-To-The-Home)

In today’s high-tech world, access to high-speed broadband internet comes under top priority. Traditional copper- based technologies relatively have less bandwidth so as in the case of wireless network. Despite of the fact that wireless connection can reach up into the areas which wire connections cannot cover, we cannot expect network stability of wireless connections in the worst weather conditions. But, as soon as the new concept of FTTH (Fiber-To-The-Home) flourished world-wide, surpassing all the previous limitations, it contributed in extraordinary growth of communication using optical fiber to transfer digital data over distant places.

Before diving into what’s FTTH means, first, let’s know what optical fiber is.

The term “optical fiber” was first coined by Indian Physicist Narinder Singh Kapany. Optical fiber is a thin, hair-like glass which transmits high bandwidth signal through the use of light instead of electricity, digitally across miles of distances. These fibers are light- weight, yet carry higher strength than copper or metal wires. Unlike traditional copper cables or wireless connection, optical fiber can transfer data with less loss.

FTTH (Fiber-To-The-Home) relies on optical fiber to deliver communication signals due to which, with no doubt, we can say, it’s the most reliable and effective medium of transferring data. It is one of the broadband technology, providing highest possible speed of the internet directly to the subscriber’s home, building or premises at affordable cost. FTTH is becoming a popular medium worldwide. Today, millions of internet subscribers worldwide have migrated to FTTH from ADSL (Asymmetric Digital Supplier Line) or wireless connections.

Comparing to any other broadband technologies, it’s no wonder that fiber-to-the-home holds a long list of benefits in the internet world at present and also in the upcoming future.

Here are few of those:

Improved Internet Speed

The only thing that makes FTTH so special is its ultra-high speed of internet. FTTH has made many things possible. With fiber to the home, you can transfer data, make video calls, download, or stream at a very high speed. Household connections become better and faster.

No limit on capacity

The benefit of FTTH is not just about the speed. Through FTTH, large files and data can be transferred at the fastest speed seamlessly even over long distance.

High security and reliability

Cyber security is something which cannot be neglected in today’s era. Since optical fiber doesn’t radiate electronic signals, one cannot extract data from it and even if someone tries to do, you can easily track the leakage of light. Further, copper wires or wireless connections cannot provide strong connectivity as FTTH at the time of severe weather condition or fluctuation in atmospheric condition. So, for secured and reliable connection, there is no other choice than FTTH.

With all these benefits, the futuristic technology, FTTH is becoming a common choice for experiencing the best possible home entertainment experience. Many business organizations or companies too are choosing to invest in FTTH technology and the number is expected to rise dramatically in the upcoming days.

Be one of those investors and install FTTH to your premises from WorldLink Communications who provides best internet in Nepal.
