Trends show that the first generation of digital solutions are interim. Customers increasingly prefer “piping in” a greater diversity of entertainment and information resources.  Delivering these services, which are already bandwidth-constrained today, will require a fiber-optic infrastructure, capable of delivering ultra-high bandwidth speeds, up to 100 megabits per second. In contrast to other access solutions, fiber can bring to the home the multi-megabit speeds already possible through in-house wireless and wired networks.

Installing fiber goes far beyond typical telecommunications functions and provides affordable access for home entertainment and information systems.

FTTH deployment is attractive economically to the carrier: the cost of deploying optical fiber is on parity with copper cable, and offers infinitely greater short- and long-term utility to the community and will lower operating and maintenance costs of your network.

ClearCurve™ optical fiber provides the best macrobending performance in the industry, allowing optical fiber to be designed into much more challenging installations and environments.
