FTTX overview:
FTTx is a form of fibre optic communication delivery in which the optical signal reaches the end user's living or office space. It can carry high-speed broadband services integrating voice, data and video on a single connection.
Other acronyms such as FTTP, or FTTB are used, but these are essentially interchangeable. FTTH is becoming the catch-all description for all fiber to the home, premises, business and "x" technologies.
About the brochure: The brochure provides design guidelines for in-building fibre infrastructure to enable property developers to deliver high-quality, future-proof telecommunications and multimedia services to their tenants. It also guides property developers through a “No Objection Certificate” (NOC) process that includes design validation, materials checking and site inspections, through to final implementation.
