Wales making FTTH progress

"Eastern Europe and Scandinavian countries have reinforced their position as fiber leaders, and the disparity between the early and late adopters is becoming even more apparent," Ahl told the news source.

Using media converters to control costs
Playing catch-up in the FTTx landscape can be a major challenge, especially when it comes to finding a way to keep costs within budget. Fiber to Ethernet media converters can enable organizations to overcome some pricing challenges. Media converters often provide a cost-efficient method for resolving interoperability problems within an optical network, allowing the FTTx solution to interact with Ethernet systems without any problems.

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.
