FTTH Handbook

During the FTTH Conference 2023, the FTTH Council Europe issued an updated version of its renowned FTTH Handbook, prepared by the Deployment and Operations Committee.

The FTTH Handbook is a resource for the fibre community. The FTTH Handbook covers every aspect of the network, from central office to subscriber equipment; from passive to active equipment choices, and encompasses all stages: planning, designing, building, and operations.

The 9th edition, launched in 2021, included a brand new section examining the scope and role of digital tools at all steps of FTTx network development. The current version includes a number of detailed revisions and updates focusing on topics such as aerial rollouts. Several companion publications, looking into topics such as combined fibre and 5G network synergies and In-Home Broadband experience, are now also available.   

It also acts as a forum for sharing experiences and approaches, supporting those who aim to drive pure fibre networks across Europe.
