In December 2019, the European Commission presented the European Green Deal with the ambition of making Europe the first climate-neutral continent by 2050, boosting the economy, improving people's health and quality of life, caring for nature, and leaving no one behind.

Digitalisation will be at the core of this ambitious program and fibre is key to align the digital and sustainability agendas. As the most sustainable telecommunication infrastructure technology, full-fibre is a prerequisite to achieving the European Green Deal and making the European Union’s economy more sustainable.

The need to work collectively towards a more sustainable society has become a strategic objective of policy makers and the vast majority of private organisations alike. With this context in mind, the sustainability Working Group of the FTTH Council Europe has been created with two key objectives:

Promote full fibre as the most sustainable access network technology and enabler of multiple applications which can contribute to reducing the carbon footprint of our activities. Remote working and learning being the most obvious examples.
Support all stakeholders of the Fibre to the Home value chain in their efforts to make their respective activities more carbon neutral.

Webinar - "Single- vs dual-box setup: how to make the right choice"

Watch webinar Back to library

As the growth of FTTH networks accelerates, attention must be paid to key considerations that affect the long-term business success of fibre roll-out. In this context, proper selection between single-box and dual-box setup at customer premises is one of the most important ones, as it impacts not only the costs of FTTH deployment and the return on investment, but also the ability to maintain customer satisfaction and prevent customer churn throughout the expected life span.

Attendees of the webinar will learn that the proper selection is based on 1) technology aspects, including the ability for future upgrades; 2) business considerations, addressing the TCO, upfront and maintenance costs; 3) regulatory aspects and 4) the expected life span of the setup. The webinar will delve into each of these four categories and discuss the factors that need to be accounted for when choosing the right setup.
