    FTTH Application-Grade Access Switch Silicon Photonics Selection Guide

    The optical circuit switch presented here is an integrated, non-blocking, switch built on a scalable silicon photonics platform. FTTH is the installation and use of optical fibre and connectivity to provide high-speed broadband access to individual buildings or multidwelling units (MDUs). Whether your deployment is to a single-family unit (SFU) or MDU, you can count on our FTTH expertise. The switching mechanism is based on vertically movable adiabatic coupler waveguides controlled by micro-electromechanical-system actuators, enabling sub-microsecond. Fiber to the Home (FTTH) is a key technology in delivering high-speed internet directly to homes and businesses. This tutorial explores the essential aspects of FTTH, including network architecture, configuration and the various technologies involved, such as AON, PON, EPON, and GPON. The routing strategy, which can be seamlessly incorporated into the switch control plane, potentially provides an additional dimension for the physical-layer performance.
