FTTP Full Form

FTTP stands for Fiber To The Premises. It is a fiber optic cable delivery medium that provides Internet access directly to a user or groups of users through an Internet service provider.It mostly refers to fiber broadband which is wired directly to the home instead of offices that services the area.

History of FTTP

It is a type of fiber optic communication delivery and in 1970 first fiber optic released and replaced the copper wire communication. The first commercial fiber optic communications system was developed in 1975 and second generation fiber optic communication was developed in 1980 and afterwards many new version come with the increase in wavelength and speed.

Characteristics Of FTTP

• It is made up of fiber thus transmission of internet is fast.
• It is new superfast broadband which utilises optical fiber which deliver to the last mile, or local loop to the customer
• They are made up of fiber optic cables which are able to carry much more data than copper cables, especially for the long distances
• FTTP can be categorized according to where the optical fiber ends like FTTH(Fibre to the home) and FTTB(Fibre to the building)

Advantages of FTTP

• It provides superior bandwidth.
• It also provides highest internet transfer speed among all internet service.
• It is reliable and secure
• It is resistance to Electromagnetic Interferences like heating
• It is more durable, tougher and not as susceptible to damage
• It is made to be customizable

Disadvantages of FTTP

• It is costly.
• It is difficult to install.
• It requires longer implementation period
• Internet connection constantly goes offline during operation hours is a major issue.
