At the home, the optical network terminal turns the signal into a radio frequency signal that can be used on a home's existing coaxial cables, feeding the signal to a set-top box (STB). Internet access. Fios Internet was the first service offered under Verizon's Fios brand, and is one of three of the product line's current offerings.
A passive optical network consists of an optical line terminal (OLT) at the service provider's central office (hub), passive (non-power-consuming) optical splitters, and a number of optical network units (ONUs) or optical network terminals (ONTs), which are near end users. [2] [3] There may be amplifiers between the OLT and the ONUs. [4]
Australia's National Broadband Network uses the term network termination device or NTD. A smartjack is a type of NID with capabilities beyond simple electrical connection, such as diagnostics. An optical network terminal (ONT) is a type of NID used with fiber-to-the-premises applications. Wiring termination
The optical line terminations "range" the optical network terminals or units in order to provide TDMA time slot assignments for upstream communication. For FTTH and for some forms of FTTB, it is common for the building's existing Ethernet, phone, and cable TV systems to connect directly to the optical network terminal or unit.
Verizon (NYS: VZ) President and CEO Lowell McAdam made it clear this week during the UBS Warburg conference that they have a set a goal to where they ultimately want to reach in building out FiOS ...
10G-PON (also known as XG-PON or G.987) is a 2010 computer networking standard for data links, capable of delivering shared Internet access rates up to 10 Gbit/s (gigabits per second) over existing dark fiber. This is the ITU-T 's next generation standard following on from GPON or Gigabit-capable PON. Optical fibre is shared by many subscribers ...
Fiber-optic communication is a method of transmitting information from one place to another by sending pulses of infrared or visible light through an optical fiber. [1] [2] The light is a form of carrier wave that is modulated to carry information. [3]
An optical line termination (OLT), also called an optical line terminal, is a device which serves as the service provider endpoint of a passive optical network. It provides two main functions: to perform conversion between the electrical signals used by the service provider's equipment and the fiber optic signals used by the passive optical ...
