How Much More Will FTTR Explode the Access Network Market

Compared with FTTH, the market of FTTR is about three times that of FTTH. For a family with 3 rooms, a room needs 2 connectors and 1 device. The number of FTTR connectors increases by 6 times and the number of devices increases by 3 times. FTTR will mature and reach its peak in the next 3-5 years. This is basically consistent with Fiber Online’s previous prediction that FTTX product iterations will take 8-10 years. After FTTR reaches its peak in 3-5 years, there will be a period of steady development, and it will not decline so quickly.

The new home networking solution FTTR proposed by the operator, that is, whole-house optical fiber and whole-house WIFI, is a new technology created in response to the increasing demand for bandwidth access to external networks by users in recent years, especially for gigabit network or above users. , he is after FTTH is connected to the main optical modem (main FTTR equipment), and the optical modem is also connected to the photon routers (slave FTTR equipment) distributed throughout the room through optical fiber. Each photon router can provide at least Gigabit Dual-band WIFI6 and Gigabit Ethernet ports, so that every corner of the room can achieve a network access speed of at least Gigabit.

FTTR is not only a new technology solution, but also a service. Operators come to commission and install it without worry. The biggest advantage is that the network speed is fast and the WIFI coverage area is large. Disadvantages or the problems that need to be solved when it becomes mature mainly include: the need for whole-house fiber optic wiring; the equipment has limitations (several suppliers); the slave equipment is relatively large and needs a separate power supply, and the optical cat needs to be placed in a suitable position. Not hidden WIFI coverage through the wireless AP panel; high installation and use costs.
