Transforming digital communication through fiber-based broadband infrastructure

Abstract

Fiber to the home (FTTH) is a broadband internet delivery technology that utilizes optical fiber cables to provide high-speed internet access directly to residential homes or buildings. Unlike traditional internet connections that rely on copper or coaxial cables, FTTH employs optical fibers, which are made of glass or plastic and transmit data as light pulses. The paper discussed the evolution of communication technologies such as satellite, Ethernet, wireless communication, asymmetric digital subscriber line (ADSL), and 5G. In an FTTH network toward FTTH broadband, the fiber optic cables are connected from the service provider's central office or point of presence directly to the subscriber's home, hence the term "FTTH". This direct connection allows for extremely fast and reliable internet speeds, capable of delivering high-bandwidth services such as high-definition video streaming, online gaming, and large file downloads/upload.
