Venice FTTH Tour – takeaways

10

• Single POP to cover all Venice (no distance limits)

• No street active elements (easy assurance and half faults compared to FTTC)

• Easy activation thanks to street passive flexibility

points (splitters in PFP and PFS)

• Positive results in Vertical installations

• Mini-digs for efficient fibre deployment with no aesthetic impacts

• Fast aerial fibre rollout with strong synergy

with electrical infrastructure

• FTTH is the only future proof technology for up to 10G services

• Fibre Infrastructure; primary

& secondary fibre flexibility

point (PFP/PFS)

• Building Termination Box

(PTE) and vertical solutions
