The objective of this committee is to help Communication Service Providers avoid churn & create revenue opportunities through the provision of enhanced user experience.

While more and more households have access to full-fibre network, it becomes crucial to avoid home connectivity becoming a bottle neck and that the new gigabit services can efficiently reach end user devices without degradation of speed or performance.

The In-Home Broadband Excellence committee addresses the following questions:

  • how to provide, manage and monitor ‘Quality of Experience’ for the end-user
  • how to monetise value-added services and reduce costs
  • how to leverage standards and provide pointers to industry fora

You can expect multiple initiatives from this dynamic group, such as the In-Home Broadband Excellence Guide, available for every member of the FTTH Council Europe and sold to non-members at a price of €36 inc. VAT* una tantum, intended to help Communication Service Providers understand the topic of ‘In-home Broadband Excellence’ and optimize their business strategies to reap the benefits of fibre-based connectivity delivered to end-users' premises.

The In-Home Broadband Excellence committee is also very much engaged in the organisation of workshops at the annual FTTH Conference, as well webinars and other communications.

Signal Quality and Performance Monitoring in FTTH Networks

This presentation explored the key technical challenges in GPON (Gigabit Passive Optical Network) deployments and their corresponding solutions. These challenges were grouped into three areas: Signal Quality and Performance, Network Security and Reliability, and Scalability and Compatibility.

Ensuring strong signal quality involved managing the optical power budget, balancing splitting ratios, and minimizing latency and jitter. Scalability and compatibility were essential for addressing growing bandwidth demands, maintaining consistent Quality of Service (QoS), and ensuring seamless interoperability between equipment from different vendors.

The focus of this presentation was the calculation of health indexes for network elements in GPON networks. These indexes enabled the detection of signal distortions, thereby maintaining stable and reliable QoS/QoE. The presented health indexes were part of Axiros' monitoring and management solutions, which were based on well-defined standards and protocols.

Additionally, the presentation included AI predictive maintenance use cases, showcasing how artificial intelligence anticipated potential network issues, reduced downtime, and ensured optimal performance in GPON deployments.
