FTTH (Fibre to the Home) is one of the Optical Fiber Communication technologies. It connects the Internet to our home directly via fibre.
POL (Passive Optical LAN) is a passive all-optical LAN. It is a LAN networking solution based on PON technology. It inherits the advantages of large bandwidth, high reliability, flatness, easy deployment, and easy management of PON networks. The solution is fully adapted to the characteristics of campus LAN based, such as 802.1x authentication, POE, etc., and has the ability to be commercially large-scale in the campus.
How about Huawei FTTH & POL solutions?
Huawei’s FTTH solution uses one optical fiber network to bear multiple services, providing high speed Internet (HSI), Wi-Fi, voice, video, and CATV services for home-connected users.
Huawei’s POL Solution uses 2-layer architecture and fiber optic cables to support large-capacity forwarding, non-interference, and oxidation resistance.
In order to help you know more about Huawei FTTH & POL solution products, I will introduce some of them in this article, including Huawei OLT, Huawei ONU, Huawei ODN and Huawei ONT.
