FTTx (Fiber To The X) is a new generation of fiber access network that connects telecom operators and end users, employing active or passive optical network. Most of current FTTx applications, FTTH (Fiber To The Home), for example, feature passive optical network. A FTTH network architecture mainly consists of OLT (Optical Line Terminal, terminal equipment is used to connect fiber trunks), ODN (Optical Distribution Network, including fiber and passive splitter or coupler), and ONT (Optical Network Terminals, a type of ONU).

FTTH pre-connectorized solution is upgraded from the traditional ODN solution. By employing plug and play devices (PnP) and fiber optic cable assemblies, it reduces and avoids field splicing, thereby reducing deployment time and the need for trained technicians and special equipment. And by using advanced digital tags supporting logging/querying by digital devices, it avoids possible human mistakes and enables all ODN parts and networks to be managed by ODN Management System (OMS).

FTTR technology solution consists of FTTR optical gateway, edge ONT and home fibre component (for home scenarios). FTTR optical gateway is a new type of network equipment that connects upwards to the OLT through the home optical network and downwards to the edge ONT, which can functionally match service development needs, providing more convenient access and better access quality assurance. The total solution can be unified and managed more efficiently, providing greater flexibility compared to FTTH networking, enabling a more efficient all-optical home network architecture and providing better Internet experience and services.
