A compelling treatment of FTTH
Written by telecommunications pioneer Paul Green Jr., Fiber to the
Home is a comprehensive examination of the technical and social
implications of fiber to the home (FTTH), the technology that
extends the current fiber optic backbone to optically connect it
directly to homes and offices.
Fiber to the Home addresses the payoffs expected from this
impending technological revolution; provides a detailed guide to
the optoelectronic components and architectures of which the system
is made; and includes an equally thorough guide to the mechanics of
deploying the fiber paths, whether underground or elevated.
Additionally, the book concludes with a recent country-by-country
survey of the legalities and the state of play in this important
new trend.
Green points out how completing the ‘last mile’ between today’s
fiber network backbone and customer premises will not only unleash
new usage modes for consumer computers, TVs, phones, and other
terminal types, but will also empower both the computer and
telecommunication industries toward new levels of investment and
profitability.
Aimed at a general audience, Fiber to the Home uses essentially no
mathematics, and all terms are carefully explained and reinforced
with a vocabulary quiz at the end of each chapter. Because of the
tutorial emphasis of the explanations, the wide spectrum of readers
affected by this emerging and ever-accelerating revolution will
gain a thorough understanding of the technical details of FTTH that
will aid them in the practice of their professions. These readers
include:
* Technicians, craftsmen, and engineers involved in installing
fiber systems
* Telecommunication network planners
* Venture investors curious about the future of this dynamic
industry sector
* Research and product engineers who need to know the detailed
architecture, cost, and performance imperatives of this
‘post-bubble’ optical networking business opportunity
* Students interested in a vibrant new industry with new jobs and
new R & D challenges
* Telecommunication regulators and attorneys who need a quick fix
on what the technology is and what it does
* Individuals concerned with international competitiveness in an
age when the country’s information infrastructure is such a key
ingredient for future growth
With Fiber to the Home, readers are armed with all they need to
fully understand and participate in the FTTH revolution.
