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.

Leveraging fibre network benefits with Optical LAN technology

This white paper explores the transformative potential of Optical LAN, an enterprise and campus network built on Passive Optical Network (PON) technology. By replacing traditional copper infrastructure with thin, resilient fiber, passive splitters, and a centralized architecture, Optical LAN simplifies network design, enhances performance, and strengthens security across sectors including offices, healthcare, education, hospitality, government, transportation, and industry. Key benefits include significant capital and operational savings (40–56% upfront cost reductions and up to ~50% lower total cost of ownership), multi-gigabit scalability (1–25 Gb/s today with a roadmap to 50–100 Gb/s), long reach up to 20 km, and up to 70% lower energy consumption compared to legacy switching.

The paper also examines solution components, powering strategies, hybrid fiber-copper extensions, deployment practices, and service-provider integration, supported by real-world case studies demonstrating 29–41% total cost savings and reduced cabling requirements. Optical LAN provides a high-speed, reliable, energy-efficient, and future-proof network architecture that addresses modern connectivity, operational, and sustainability challenges.
