TAKING THE TIME,

Jamie McGee, Product Specialist, Emtelle, questions
why premises around the world are still underserved
by a fibre connection. He talks about the importance of
delivering high-speed, reliable, future-proof connectivity
which will enable truly connected homes for customers.
A
s emerging technologies such as
the Internet of Things (IoT), 5G
and Virtual and Augmented Reality
increase at an exponential rate, delivering
Fibre-to-the-x (FTTx) is at the top of the
agenda for every government, operator,
industry body and equipment vendor.
Moreover, as these applications become
increasingly present in the home and end-
users’ viewing habits sway from traditional
TV services to online viewing platforms such
as Netflix and Amazon TV, the need to lay
fibre to the doors of residential premises
and businesses at the same speed has never
been greater.

For Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP) to become
a reality, quality networks to the home are
critical. That’s why installation teams have
spent decades building the best quality fibre
networks around the globe; connecting country
to country, city to city and town to town.
These networks have been heavily invested
in to last the test of time and widen the
ability for huge amounts of data to pass
through the continents where we live.
This, in turn, is allowing end-users to share
knowledge across all corners of the world,
making it appear to be a smaller, more
unified place.
