You are cordially invited to participate in a public ISOC-LB Net-Nite talk by Mr. Omar Rawdah followed by a discussion on:

Fiber To The Home (FTTH), Fiber To The Office (FTTO) & Buildings Fiber Optics Infrastructure:

Standardization, Local Regulations, Design & Implementation Cases (Old & New Buildings)

Abstract

The number of Fibre-to-the-Home (FTTH) subscribers continues to grow worldwide. The need for high-bit rate applications is increasing equally. The business case for deploying FTTH is greatly influenced by the operator choice of access technology, the infrastructure cost and the Return on Investment (ROI) from users in apartment blocks or Multi Dwelling Units (MDUs).

This seminar discusses the benefits of fibre broadband and different FTTx network architectures, it addresses in-buildings network elements and the implementation of local legislations via the OEA and presents local case studies for FTTH & FTTO distributions (design & implementation) for new and old buildings.
