Even before the COVID-19 pandemic, remote work was becoming more popular. But during the 2020s, this became a way of life for millions of employees and independent contractors in Latin America and around the world. Remote productivity is essential, and it is clear that a fast and reliable Internet connection is critical. While there are different methods that will ensure fast upload and download speeds and cloud connectivity, fiber-optic Internet is a must for people who work from home.
Today, we’ll talk about the benefits FTTH providers can offer teleworkers and how fiber optic system integrators can make FTTH more accessible to everyone.
What is FTTH?
First, let’s talk about the services in which FTTH providers specialize. FTTH is the abbreviation for “Fiber to the Home “, or Fiber to the Home. Sometimes also referred to as Fiber to the Premises(FTTP), it refers to the direct installation and use of fiber optic cables from a centralized point to private residences, and even to multi-unit apartment buildings. This broadband Internet to a site transmits communication signals over fiber optic infrastructure (provided by fiber optic system integrators) to the user’s home and vice versa. In other words, each individual subscriber gets a direct fiber optic connection for his or her Internet use.
Increasing popularity of FTTH providers
Over the past five years, the fiber optic cable manufacturing industry has grown by 11.8%, and that is largely due to the increase in demand for FTTH. But why are FTTH provider services so popular?
One reason fiber-to-the-home providers are so sought after is because of the fast speeds fiber optics provides over other Internet connectivity options. According to experts, FTTH may be the only type of technology currently available that can keep up with consumer demand for bandwidth and the continued growth it will experience over the next decade. And with more people continuing to work from home a year after the pandemic, it is clear why FTTH providers are needed. This technology provides not only speed but also reliability, and these two factors are crucial to maintaining a productive work-from-home environment.
Why is fiber optic Internet the best choice for remote work?
Another benefit to mention is safety. Hacking attempts are on the rise and remote working makes it easier for cybercriminals to exploit vulnerabilities. Therefore, having a highly secure Internet connection can alleviate substantial risks. Each FTTH customer can maintain its own physical connectivity in the home or office. That makes it nearly impossible for others to access a fiber optic cable network. FTTH providers can promote the security offered by these connections, and this can be extremely attractive to both workers and employers.
In general, FTTH services typically improve Internet performance. Delays are reduced while data transport capacity increases. This makes it one of the best options available for those working outside the traditional office environment (although fiber optics is also an excellent choice for companies operating in a more conventional environment).
How can telecommunications operators increase FTTH access?
Millions of homes and multi-unit residential buildings already have FTTH, but greater accessibility is still needed to accommodate millions of remote workers. Teleworkers need consistent Internet speeds and data capacity, and fiber-optic Internet can provide this solution.
