What is FTTR: The Best Technical Solution for Home Gigabit Wi-Fi

What is FTTR? What should we know about it?  This article will help you get the whole picture of FTTR. 

Introduction:

With the development of the times, the Internet has become a necessary part of daily life. Each family has higher expectations for the network's speed, dependability, and coverage as have a higher pursuit of spiritual needs and life quality, which contributes to the advent of the gigabit age in the modern day. FTTR (Fiber to the Room) provides a networking solution that covers the entire house with high speed and stability. After that, you can access stable Gigabit Internet at every corner of the home and watch 8K videos in the future.

What is FTTR?

FTTR (Fiber to The Room) refers to the laying of optical fibers to remote nodes, which is a fundamentally technical method of optical fiber access, and also a technological evolution and advancement of home networking. It achieves interconnection with home gateways by deploying optical network terminals (ONT) 

In the 10M era, fiber to the building (FTTB) is the norm; in the 100M era, fiber to the house (FTTH) is the norm; In the gigabit era, fiber to the room is the norm. In simple terms, if the Gigabit optical network is compared to a highway, FTTB is to pave the road to the entrance of the building, FTTH is to pave the road to the door of the house, while FTTR is to pave the road to every room in the house.

Optical fiber was previously utilized in the living room, but with FTTR, it now covers each room of the house. FTTR achieves Wi-Fi 6 Gigabit coverage with low latency, high quality, and great stability throughout the house. 

Why Do We Need FTTR?

Most users must be wondering why FTTR is necessary given that Wi-Fi is currently available. The indoor Wi-Fi of most home broadband users is connected to a router via an ONU (Optical Network Unit) and is therefore covered by the router's Wi-Fi signal. However, Wi-Fi’s signal frequently encounters difficulties in getting through walls, or reaching far-off rooms around corners or on separate floors. Besides, it may encounter interference from nearby Wi-Fi networks and microwaves.

FTTR effectively solves the problem of indoor Wi-Fi’s bottleneck of network coverage and getting stuck. The super-gigabit Wi-Fi network can fulfill the family’s high-quality network requirements. People can stay in a digital “Utopia” where they can enjoy real-time meetings, ultra-smooth online lectures, VR games, VR movies, and 4k videos at any time and in any place, which can truly balance their life and work.

Advantages of FTTR

FTTR provides a couple of advantages over conventional networking technical solutions.

1. High Speed and Low Latency. Optical fiber can meetusers' demands for high-speed networks because of its incredibly high bandwidth and transmission speed. By applying Wi-Fi6 with FTTR, each room’s estimated speed can be as high as 1200Mbps. FTTR can offer a more dependable and swifter network connection, making users easily conduct high-bandwidth activities like online films, online games, and high-definition downloads.

2. Full Coverage and High Signal Quality. Owing to optical fiber's high transmission distance, every room in the housemay receive stable signal coverage, which solves the issue of weak or unreliable network signals caused by long distances or signal interference in traditional wire methods. This implies that users can access the Internet with the same high-quality connection regardless of the room they're in.

3. Easy to Manage and High Security. FTTRhas the benefits of Intelligent management, one-click detection of Wi-Fi network status, and remote repair. The network signal delivered by optical fiber is immune to outside interference, which makes the user's network connectionsafe and dependable. The FTTR technology can suit the network security needs of some places with high-security requirements, such as banks, hospitals, and businesses.          

Conclusion

It is anticipated that FTTR can create a leading home information infrastructure for thousands of families in the future. The advantages of FTTR comprise Ultra-gigabit bandwidth, continuous indoor roaming, non-perceptual switching, and an optical network immune to interference. Users will get wonderful experiences of cloud VR, 4K/8K video, online education, online office, and others with the application of FTTR. FTTP not only changes people’s family life but also results in great innovation and upgrades of networking technology and service applications.
