FTTH Development Background and history
In the 1970’s telephone and cable-TV companies realized the advantages of replacing metallic cables with fiber. Due to the underdevelopment of fiber optic technology, the costs of building a fiber optic network where is too high. But to move ahead with fiber optics, telephone and cable-TV companies invested in less expensive fiber-to-the-curb (FTTC) and hybrid fiber/coax (HFC), which are strategies for using fiber optic technology on trunk lines, but using conventional technology in connecting the customer to the network via metallic cables. With this strategy the telephone and cable-TV companies constructed a network that shared the cost of fiber optics among many customers.
At that time it was considered unprofitable to move on with fiber-to-the-home (FTTH), and all fiber optic networks capable of providing the advantages of fiber to the customer.
Recent developments in fiber optic technology have driven the costs down dramatically. These developments come from the field of "loop" lasers, solutions for delivering video, and passive network topologies. But equally important as technology development is that every day surface new appealing ways of networking, the World Wide Web and digital video just to mention, and possibilities are endless. These new forms of services require high-speed access and broad bandwidth, which set new criteria for networks. These developments make FTTH more appealing as FTTH is known to be capable of transmitting incredibly high bandwidths with small losses.
One of the world's largest telecommunications companies NTT of Japan has been a promoter of the FTTH technology. In 1990 NTT encouraged companies like AT&T, Fujitsu, Hitachi and others to start developing the systems needed in a FTTH network. Today together with the American telecommunications company BellSouth, NTT has joined forces in R&D to advance the availability of affordable FTTH technology.
