What is FTTH?
Fiber to the Home. Refers to the installation and use of fiber optical cable directly to the home. Fiber Optic wiring replaces the duplicate infrastructure that the Telephone and Cable companies have installed in the past in a neighborhood setting. Fiber has a higher bandwidth capacity and can easily transmit traditional applications like telephone, television, and internet, with plenty of capacity left over for applications in the future.
FTTH, or Fiber To The Home, refers to fiber optic cable that replaces the standard copper wire of the local Telco. FTTH is desirable because it can carry high-speed broadband services integrating voice, data and video, and runs directly to the junction box at the home or building. For this reason it is sometimes called Fiber To The Building, or FTTB. Traditional copper telephone wires carry analog signals generated by telephone equipment, including fax machines. Analog technology is by nature a less precise signaling technology than digital technology. Though multiplexing has allowed digital signals to be transmitted across multiple channels over copper lines, fiber optic cable is superior for relaying these signals and allows for faster transfer rates and virtually unlimited bandwidth. This opens the door to better Internet speed, streaming video, and other demanding applications. The Internet utilizes a backbone of fiber optic cables capable of delivering incredible bandwidth.

The fibre-to-the-home (FTTH) network is one of the most advanced technologies available in the world and delivers TransACT’s phone, high-speed broadband and subscription television services via one fibre-optic cable. Because the TransACT fibre-optic cable runs directly to your premises it is possible to deliver much faster broadband speeds.
