Fiber to the premises

(Redirected from Fiber to the Home)

Fiber to the Premises (FTTP) refers to a broadband telecommunications system based on fiber-optic cables and associated optical electronics for delivery of broadband service to homes and businesses. Another name is Fiber to the Home (FTTH).

Fiber-optic technology deployment costs are decreasing, making this technology an obvious competitor to existing services. KMI Research forecasts that the total FTTP market for equipment, cable, and apparatus will reach $3.2 billion in 2009.

In the United States, the most significant FTTP deployment to date is Verizon's Fios.
