FTTX
Fiber to the X (FTTx) refers to all types of fiber infrastructure including FTTH, FTTP, FTTC, and FTTN. Fiber to the “x” (FTTx) is a collective term used to describe a wide range of broadband network architecture options utilizing optical fiber for some or all of their last mile connectivity. With “x” representing the fiber termination point, FTTx technology encompasses optical fiber deployments such as FTTH, FTTA, FTTB, and FTTC.
FTTH
Fiber to the home (FTTH), also called fiber to the premises (FTTP), is the installation and use of optical fiber from a central point directly to individual buildings such as residences, apartment buildings and businesses to provide high-speed internet access.
FTTH includes fiber-optic access solutions designed for residential deployments. In FTTH networks, fibers are directly connected to individual homes or multitenant buildings. FTTH includes various flavors of both PONs and PTP Ethernet-based solutions.
