Fiber to the node
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Fiber To The Node (FTTN) is a broadband architecture that provides high speed internet and other services to the home by running fiber to the node and Very-high-bit-rate Digital Subscriber Line (VDSL) over the existing telephone copper plant to the home. This architecture is lower cost to deploy than the competing Fiber to the premises (FTTP) technology but in turn does not bring the full bandwidth capability of the fiber to the home. Data rates are limited to 25-30 Mbit/s.
