For years, the broadband industry’s innovative energy focused on speed: faster downloads, higher throughput, more gigabits per second. But as online activity has been woven more deeply into the fabric of daily life, user expectations have shifted. Today’s success metrics place less emphasis on speed and more on quality, reliability and seamless experiences that adapt […]

When we chartered the FTTP Operators Forum, our goal was to create a space where technology experts, engineers, business leaders and operations professionals could share real-world insights, compare strategies and discuss fiber to the premises (FTTP) challenges. The goal is simple: promote industry collaboration and accelerate progress toward more interoperable, efficient fiber networks. In our […]

There has been momentum in the broadband industry to provide fiber to the premises (FTTP) solutions as a part of an operator’s service portfolio. While optical technologies have long been a part of the cable network, FTTP is the chosen architecture for all-fiber access networks. For FTTP, the premises can be a subscriber’s home, a […]

Consistent with the strategy outlined in a recent blog, CableLabs has recently launched two new working groups related to fiber to the premises (FTTP). Information on one of the working groups — Optical Operations and Maintenance — can be found here. The subject is this blog is the provisioning and management of passive optical networking […]

The U.S. government is investing billions of dollars in broadband infrastructure. That funding will predominantly be used to deploy fiber-to-the-premises (FTTP) networks using passive optical network (PON) technology. Most U.S. broadband providers are focused on deploying a 10G variant of PON technology, and two types are widely available in the market today: 10G-EPON and XGS-PON. […]

Alongside the hustle and bustle in the cable industry to deploy DOCSIS® 4.0 technology, another 10G solution quietly plods along with pinpoint precision: fiber to the premises (FTTP). In FTTP, the premises can represent a home, business, campus, multiple-dwelling unit, etc. Despite what fiber overbuilders might want you to believe, the cable industry has always […]
