About FTTH Conference

This site documents how a connection reaches a building. It covers the street work first, because that is where the money goes, then the joint and the split that make a fibre network economic, then the routes that exist because some streets cannot be opened, then the last few metres across a boundary and into a room.

The name is the domain: ftthconference.com. It is a publication, not an event. There is no programme, no venue and no association with any conference of a similar name.

Every entry follows the same rule: it says what a method costs, where it wins, and where it fails. Nothing here recommends a product, an operator or a network, and no figure appears without a standard or a source behind it. Where the honest answer is that it depends on the street, the entry says so.

The guides are grouped into six sections, and each section is a place on one street rather than a category of technology. A reader who walks the sections in order walks the route a fibre takes.
