BANDWIDTH SOLUTIONS—FIBER-TO-THE-HOME, FIBER-TO-YOU…COST EFFECTIVELY
Sumitomo Electric Lightwave has a competitive advantage because of the Fiber-to-the-Home research and development that Sumitomo Electric Industries has jointly pursued throughout the years with Nippon Telegraphy and Telephone Corp. (NTT), one of the largest telecommunications companies in the world and a pioneer in FTTH technology. And…we can pass our competitive advantage on to you.
With our expertise in FTTH technology and the complete product line with which to execute fiber-to-the-home, we are tailoring various architectures for some of the major Bell Operating Companies and other leading players in the communications industry. Sumitomo has resolved what has long hindered the progression of fiber to the person; the cost-effective means with which to deploy fiber…the final mile to the home.
FTTH emerging architectures require a new breed of application-specific cable designs. Based upon modifications to our already patented figure 8 cable technology, Sumitomo has developed patent-pending aerial and distribution optical cables. Through these new cables and optical components, high-speed data, broadband video, and narrow band telephony can be transported simultaneously through a passive optical network to offer completely integrated digital services directly to the subscriber’s home.
Our aerial drop and distribution cables use standard field-proven technologies that aid in multiple frequent accesses and rapid deployment. These cables increase productivity when splicing to feeder cables and can be factory terminated to create plug-n-play systems that eliminate installation steps, thus significantly reducing costs. The new cables are designed with the same high reliability standards as Sumitomo’s field-proven cables.
Sumitomo Electric Lightwave’s tailor-made FTTH architecture also uses unique combination coupler/splice enclosures, network interface devices (NID), and accessory components. Sumitomo has moved forward to develop specifically designed aerial coupler/splice enclosures. We also manufacture the remaining FTTH System Components for Pole Mount Terminal and Closure approaches to the FTTH passive optical network.
