What is FTTx?

FTTx is a generic term for any broadband network architecture that uses optical fiber to replace all or part of the usual metal local loop used for last-mile telecommunications. FTTx is a faster and more efficient way to deliver high-speed internet, voice, and video services to homes and businesses. Several architectures exist under this umbrella, such as FTTH (Fiber to the Home), FTTB (Fiber to the Building), FTTC (Fiber to the Curb), and FTTN (Fiber to the Node), each differing in how close the fiber optic cable gets to the end user.
