Why move from a Hybrid Fiber-Coax (HFC) to a Fiber to the Home (FTTH) network?
In many cases, it is possible to upgrade networks and achieve savings using existing HFC technology. Existing broadcast television, telephony services and internet connection will continue to be the main revenue generators for the years to come. They represent the safe business that need to be protected to ensure current and future revenue. Operators must also know that as the use of more intelligent home devices such as PCs, multimedia and entertainment consoles, set-top boxes grows, the trend for more service and technolgy convergence will be accelerated and operators will be forced to provide new ways of communicating. That’s why taking the long-term approach, operators may be better advised to invest gradually in FTTH network solution that will cover both their existing and future needs.
