Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP) is a broadband internet delivery technology that utilises fibreoptic cables to transmit data directly to residential or business premises. Unlike traditional copper-based DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) or cable internet connections, which rely on existing infrastructure, FTTP offers unparalleled speed, reliability, and bandwidth capacity, making it an ideal solution for delivering high-speed internet access, video streaming, online gaming, and other bandwidth-intensive applications.
Key features
Ultra-High Speed: FTTP delivers asymmetrical downloads of up to 1.8Gbps and uploads speeds in excess of 100mps, with connections above gigabit-speed connections available in many deployments, enabling seamless access to bandwidth-intensive applications and services.
Low Latency: using Fibreoptic cables transmit data at the speed of light, resulting in minimal latency and lag, making FTTP ideal for real-time applications such as video conferencing, and VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol).
Reliability: through fibreoptic cables which are highly resilient to electromagnetic interference, signal degradation, and inclement weather conditions, ensuring consistent and reliable connectivity even in adverse environments.
Scalability: of FTTP networks is easily scalable to accommodate increasing bandwidth demands, allowing service providers to upgrade capacity by simply adding additional fibre strands or deploying advanced transmission technologies.
Futureproofing: with FTTP represents a future-proof investment in broadband infrastructure, capable of supporting emerging technologies and applications such as 5G, IoT (Internet of Things), and smart home automation.
