The Definition of FTTH & Broadband Access Terms
Posted: 04th Oct, 2006 By: MarkJ
The 'Fibre to the Home' (FTTH) Councils of Asia Pacific, Europe and North America have agreed to a world-wide standardisation of terminology used in the industry. FTTH is viewed by many as being the true future of broadband:
Unfortunately the UK is unlikely to see a wider scale rollout of FTTH for a few more years, with the technology set to remain under "trial" or isolated usage. Costs and the sheer dominance of DSL technology have a lot to do with its slow introduction.
The FTTH Council Definition of Terms is the result of collaborative work between the three Councils. The document provides definitions for commonly utilized industry terms describing access network terminology. Definitions agreed to among all three Councils provides clear and concise descriptions that are both adequate and useful to the global telecommunications industry.
As the industry has grown, so has the optical fibre terminology in use among FTTH professionals, analysts and journalists, notes Joe Savage, President of the FTTH Council North America. It has become increasingly more important to know that when a term is used, it means the same thing - whether youre deploying in Canada, Japan or Germany.
