FIBER TO HOME AND FIBER TO MAST
Historically, utilities have had no proper communication channels. Some utility operators leased E1/T1 links while others relied on xDSL circuits. The bottom line is this: A fast and reliable infrastructure is critical for Utility smart grids that require data and power to move upstream and downstream. That’s where smart meters come into play. They facilitate nearly real-time, two-way communication.
Currently, telecom operators consider Fiber-to-the-x (FTTx) as the best method to deliver their telecom services to subscribers. FTTx has many network varieties, depending on the termination point: premises (FTTp), home (FTTh), curb/cabinet (FTTc), or node (FTTn). FTTx has the advantage of bringing innovative high-speed telecom services such as IPTV, Video-on-Demand, voice, high-speed data access, infotainment and edutainment while also providing some bandwidth for utility services.
FTTH is Fiber to the Home providing Fiber connectivity to the end user, while FTTM is Fiber to the Mobile providing Fiber as a a solution based on GPON technology to Backhaul Mobile Communication 2G, 3G and 4G Base Stations
Can someone briefly explain the Core network ie PSTN, ISDN, MPLS OLT and ODN?
FTTH means fiber to the home and FTTM means fiber to the mobile
Both of these are under FTTx architecture. FTTM is the Future of brining innovative high speed telecomm services and solutions. FTTM stands for Fiber-To-The-Meter which is more advance than FTTH Fiber-To-The-Home in providing high speed digital broadband access, establishing intelligent telecommunications system, power and cost saving, and better monitoring, providing smart grid infrastructure.
fIBER TO THE HOME AND FIBER TO THE MOBAIL
FTTH is Fiber To The Home , it means providing telecom services to homes and fixed lines customers (PSTN, Broadband, IPTV) through fiber access networks
FTTM is Fiber To The Mobile, it means providing telecom services to mobile sites (2G,3G and 4G) through fiber access networks.
