Netherlands gaining ground in FTTH race

At this stage in the FTTH deployment cycle, a single telecom is dominating the move to the advanced network format. However, that may not last, as a wide range of service providers have begun to install new FTTH lines and more competition is emerging in the sector.

Dealing with the revenue issue
While a 33 percent subscription rate is, by no means, a poor level of adoption for FTTH, the statistic underpins the challenge that telecoms face when deploying FTTH - it does not always generate immediate revenue returns. This creates an environment in which telecoms have to focus on completing network installation processes as cost-efficiently as possible if they want to minimize losses and maximize gains when deploying FTTH systems. Fiber to Ethernet media converters can play a vital role in this process, as media converters can ease a variety of interoperability issues without putting an excess strain on the budget.

Perle has an extensive range of Managed and Unmanaged Fiber Media Converters to extended copper-based Ethernet equipment over a fiber optic link, multimode to multimode and multimode to single mode fiber up to 160km.
