Next Generation of Technology

As residential consumers demand better and faster broadband with near instantaneous connection speeds, service providers are installing fiber optic networks at homes and offices. Using the next generation of technology, more and more of our world will be connected by fiber optics in the future as we outgrow the older copper-based infrastructures.

FTTH By Any Other Name

The Fiber to the Home (FTTH) category can also include Fiber to the Neighborhood, Fiber to the Curb, Fiber to the Node (FTTN), Fiber to the Desk, Fiber to the Building, Fiber to the Premises (FTTP), and Fiber to the “x” (FTTx). Sometimes industry insiders also use the terms “Fiber Deep” and “Fiber Deeper” for deploying fiber optic cables from one central location to many.

Investing in Fiber

Private homeowner associations, traditional cable and telecom companies, independent broadband providers, and competitive providers are offering Fiber to the Home. Across the United States, several cities are building their own broadband infrastructure and offering affordable internet services as part of their utility packages.

Transfer Large Amounts of Data Quickly

Fiber optic lines can be connected underground or along existing telephone poles, aerially. Fiber optic cables are less expensive, weigh less, and are easier to maintain than standard cable lines. Unlike metal cables, fiber optic cables are made from glass which is not susceptible to electromagnetic interference. Flowing over long distances without degradation, fiber optic cables use light instead of electricity to transmit data. The frequencies are higher; therefore, the data capacity is greater. As more and more of our world depends on a constant and seamless internet connection, Fiber to the Home meets the broadband demand of today’s residents.

Installing, Upgrading, and Replacing Cables

Installation technicians use conduit to run cable directly to each home. Using a conduit system allows for flexibility of the design and the choice of multiple design options when running a backbone through a neighborhood. Deploying conduit – with or without fiber – while a new neighborhood is under construction make sense and saves on expenses. Underground fiber networks are more reliable and require less maintenance. When upgrades or replacement is needed, it’s done with less service disruption because of the permanent protected pathways provided by Dura-Line conduits.

Happy Homeowners

From the homeowner’s perspective, happiness exists in a faster internet service that works – and plays – at the speed of today, and tomorrow!
