fiber to the premises

This article lists the deployment of fiber to the premises by country.

This article describes fiber to the premises in the United States.

Fiber to the premises can be categorized according to where the optical fiber ends:

Similar efforts are underway in Italy, Canada, India, and many other countries (see Fiber to the premises by country).

Major telecommunications companies have been aggressive about deploying alternative technologies such as IPTV and fiber to the premises, also called "fiber optics".

That strategy stands in contrast to "fiber to the premises," a strategy being pursued by Verizon, which entails connecting fiber optic cables directly to individual residences.

Although fiber-optic systems excel in high-bandwidth applications, optical fiber has been slow to achieve its goal of fiber to the premises or to solve the last mile problem.

Corning is even poised to revitalize fiber optics, as companies like Verizon proceed with "fiber to the premises" projects that bring fiber optic lines to homes and businesses.

These connectors, which are field-mateable, and hardened for use in the OSP, are needed to support Fiber to the Premises (FTTP) deployment and service offerings.

There are 2 types of VRAD systems currently used by Claro: FTTN (fiber to the node), and FTTP (fiber to the premises).

FTTP (fiber to the premises) systems use model 7340, which is mostly used in areas such as new neighborhoods or large-scale developments where fiber can be run to the household, removing the distance limitations of copper.

The report focuses on less-populated areas of the country, the sort of places that probably have DSL and basic cable Internet access, but may not see fiber to the node, fiber to the premises, or DOCSIS 3.0 speeds.
