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.

Deployment & Operations Committee Advances Technical Initiatives Ahead of FTTH Conference 2026

The Deployment & Operations (D&O) Committee continues to drive progress across its two flagship technical initiatives: Fibre Deep – Passive Optical LAN (POLAN) Applications and Network Resilience & Maintenance. Both initiatives are advancing strongly, aiming to deliver comprehensive technical whitepapers ahead of the FTTH Conference 2026 in London.

The POLAN whitepaper has been completed and is currently circulated via the Member Engagement Platform for final review. It examines how Passive Optical LAN architectures can support fibre-deep deployment strategies, particularly in enterprise, campus, and multi-dwelling environments. The paper highlights key benefits, including scalability, energy efficiency, and reduced operational complexity, while providing comparisons with traditional copper LANs, deployment scenarios, and real-world case studies.

The Network Resilience & Maintenance whitepaper is progressing steadily, supported by active member contributions. It addresses resilient, fault-tolerant fibre network design, proactive maintenance, fault detection, and long-term operability, while exploring the role of AI and automation and resilience-by-design principles such as redundancy planning and security hardening.

Additionally, the Committee is initiating new workstreams to tackle emerging deployment challenges, including ultra-rural rollout strategies and planning the transition from HFC networks to full fibre, ensuring a smooth and efficient evolution of access technologies.
