How FTTH works

Fiber optics uses laser pulses to transmit billions of bits of data per second through strands of glass. These glass strands are so pure that the light emitted by a burning candle can be viewed 7 miles away! These light pulses transport electronic data up to 900megabits per second. That’s more than 100 times faster than traditional, non-fiber methods. The light pulses are converted to electronic signals via optical network terminals and distributed throughout the home as phone service, TV and internet.
