Huawei Releases the Industry's First FTTD Solution

Huawei, a leading global information and communications technology (ICT) solutions provider, has announced the release of the industry’s first fiber to the door (FTTD) solution. The solution provides ultra-broadband as fast as 100 Mbit/s to 1000 Mbit/s by reusing the existing twisted pairs or coaxial cables through an innovation of line technologies, project implementation technologies, service provisioning and OAM technologies.
The solution overcomes the difficulties of the traditional fiber to the home (FTTH) or fiber to the building (FTTB) scenarios, such as drop fiber installation, slow deployment, large investments, and effectively provides operators with broadband access.
Ultra-broadband access is becoming more popular in the development of broadband networks, due to the increase of high-definition videos and cloud services. The existing industry FTTx solutions have proved incapable of resolving the problems in FTTB and FTTH scenarios. In FTTB, bandwidth is limited, and site locations are restricted by power supply and grounding issues. FTTH construction presents difficulties such as drop fiber installation, long construction times, and large initial investments.
