Fibre To The Home is no longer an option it is a necessity to support Cloud Computing and the coming Industrial Revolution (2). It is the only technology that can provide the connectivity we need. It also offers the lowest installation and operating cost, the best ROI, year-on-year CAPEX, whilst returning the best reliability, resilience and the ultimate future proofing.

1. Why FTTH ?

2. There is no other
choice !

3. Optical Fibre to the
home, office, building,
street, highway, cell
site,wifi-wimax, G3-G4
hot spot is a necessity...
...with fibre the only viable
choice on any cost, economic,
operations, facility, future basis

4. The technologies of the
p a s t c a n ’t c u t t h e
mustard...they really
can’t...

5. Fewer people = Fewer faults
A linear reduction in people
numbers (~70%) sees an
exponential fall in fault rates
(~90%)....and faster response/
repair times...

6. Reprogramming replaces
rewiring...

7. Simpler topology and
equipment leads to
simpler and lower cost
control and management...

8. The world is not an
asymmetric place...
...and it doesn’t like variable
signal quality, latency and delays
either!

9. The sustainable future
is about everything and
everyone being wireless
and on line....
...the bandwidth of such a
future can only be satisfied my
optical fibre in the last/first mile

10. It is about connectivity,
access,data, information,
sharing, and new modes
for industry, commerce,
eduction, training, heath,
living...

11. People, vehicles, things
cluster to sporadically
demand bandwidth, a
lot of bandwidth...

12. More wireless means
more optical fibre...

13. Cloud computing will
fail if we do not have
ample bandwidth and
connectivity...

14. No other technology
can provide the
bandwidth and utility
demanded today and in
the future...

15. FTTH is the most cost
effective solution giving
the best:
- OPEX
- RoI
- Cost of Ownership
- Reliability
- Resilience
- Utility
- Future proofing

16. Connected
Optical Fibre

Disconnected
