The FTTH tutorial covers basics of FTTH (fibre to the home) configurations and architectures viz. Active Optical Network(AON) and Passive Optical Network(PON). It covers PON standards EPON and GPON etc.
Earlier telecommunication networks were using optic fibre cables for connectivity between exchanges across sea. This has been replaced with all fibre network. This concept provides connectivity between user premises and the service provider using fibre optic. It has become more popular because of higher bandwidth and cheap cost. Moreover it is reliable and secure way of communication compare to wireless networks.
Fibre optic networks have been evolved very quickly and service providers are deploying different fibre configurations based on different applications. It is designed as FTTx. Here 'x' stands for final terminating point on the user side. 'x' can be Home or Premise or Building, Curb or Node. Based on this there are different terminologies of fibre optic deployment configurations. They are FTTH (Fibre to the Home), FTTP (Fibre to the Premise), FTTB(Fibre to the Building) FTTN(Fibre to the Node) and FTTC (Fibre to the Curb).
