It wraps all of CommScope’s experience as a fibre infrastructure provider into one document, containing many of the lessons learned and projects fulfilled. n Chapter 1: The history and future of Fibre-to-the-X. n Chapter 2: From fundamentals to real-world choices. n Chapter 3: Network architectures: options, benefits and considerations. n Chapter 4: How to make an FTTX business plan work. An interactive graphic can be found on CommScope’s website which is easily shareable on social media. The graph touches on the increasing bandwidth demand, global internet connection speed and global subscriber growth. Readers can also check their FTTX IQ with a shareable quiz. The entire eBook and its assets are designed to be a helpful guide in any FTTX journey, whether deploying one for the first or tenth time.
