Fibre Optic Access Networks

Global bandwidth requirements in local area and campus networks have erupted over the past decade with Ethernet standards evolving from 10Mb/s in 1995 to 10 000Mb/s (or 10Gb/s) by 2005. As high end networks evolve through 10Gb/s and beyond, UTP and coaxial cable will no longer be able to withstand next generation applications. Fibre optics, with bandwidth capabilities far beyond tomorrow’s requirements will be the medium of choice.

Developers of new modern homes, office parks and multiple dwelling units should realize that broadband Internet connectivity is quickly becoming a key differentiator for their customers. Customers increasingly prefer high speed Internet and the potential to use Internet services such as IPTV, VOIP, remote web based video surveillance, gaming and other services. These services, which are already bandwidth-constrained today, will require a fiber-optic infrastructure, capable of delivering ultra-high bandwidth speeds, up to 100 megabits per second. In contrast to other access solutions, fiber can bring to the home, the multiple dwelling unit and the office park high Internet speeds that are not possible with DSL or wireless broadband.

Many homeowners already want broadband access as simple and easy as turning on the tap or flicking a light switch. Installing fiber goes far beyond typical telecommunications functions. Building affordable access for home entertainment and information systems is becoming a factor in single-family residences as well as multiple-family dwelling units at various price ranges.

Our FTTx (fiber to the home, office park or multiple dwelling units) solutions are particularly attractive economically to the real estate developer; the cost of deploying optical fibre into new premises is the same as deploying copper cable and yet fibre optics offers infinitely greater short- and long-term utility to the community. The FTTx infrastructure you bring to your premises will be a very attractive feature to your clients and a great selling point for your premises.

JC Broadband partners with gated home residential associations and developers, office parks and multiple dwelling units to bring very high connectivity to these fast growing communities. The benefit of our fiber solutions to the end user include:

• High quality fiber bandwidth at the price of DSL
• One convenient Internet access bill
• Unlike DSL, the quality and bandwidth is not determined by your distance from the central office
• Ability to take advantage of emerging services – IPTV and VOIP
• More secure and reliable connection than wireless
• Future proof – you upgrade your bandwidth requirements (up to tens of MB/s) without any upgrade to infrastructure
