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.

Advancing Fibre Deployment and Network Resilience

The Deployment & Operations (D&O) Committee is actively progressing on two major initiatives: Fibre Deep – Passive Optical LAN (POLAN) Applications and Network Resilience & Maintenance, with both detailed technical whitepapers targeted for completion ahead of the FTTH Conference 2026 in London.

The first paper explores how Passive Optical LAN technologies can enhance fibre deployment, particularly in enterprise and campus environments. It will highlight the advantages of fibre—scalability, energy efficiency, and lower maintenance—and include comparisons with copper-based LANs, deployment models for different contexts, and case studies showcasing successful implementations.

The second whitepaper focuses on resilient, fault-tolerant fibre networks that are easier to maintain and operate over time. It will provide best practices for proactive maintenance and fault detection, explore the role of AI and automation in network monitoring, and outline design principles for resilience, including redundancy planning and security hardening against potential threats.

Together, these initiatives reinforce the D&O Committee’s commitment to supporting the industry with technical guidance and practical tools that advance efficient, secure, and future-proof fibre deployment across Europe.
