FTTH System

Fibra a casa (FTTH) le linee in Spagna hanno superato 13.2 milioni a giugno. Si tratta di un aumento di 66,894 linee rispetto a maggio.

Secondo gli ultimi dati pubblicati dalla Commissione nazionale spagnola per i mercati e la concorrenza (CNMC) riguardante il mercato delle telecomunicazioni, il numero di linee in fibra ottica in Spagna è aumentato del 1.1 million compared to June 2021, while the number of DSL lines has decreased by 500,000.

Fiber optic communication is widely used as a medium for information transmission with its unique advantages of anti-interference, light weight and high capacity. The use of existing transmission lines to lay fiber optic cables is the most economical and effective way to achieve this.

FTTH which refers to direct fiber optic access to the home, is a significant technical feature that not only provides greater bandwidth, but also enhances the transparency of the network with respect to data formats, rates, wavelengths and protocols. The use of FTTH also relaxes requirements such as environmental conditions and power supply, simplifying the maintenance and installation of fiber optic cables.

In June, Spain loses 3,267 lines to NEBA indirect access services. The cumulative total are 1,026,508 lines, of which 991,782 are fiber optic lines. There are 2,118,232 local NEBA lines available in Spain at the end of June.

Rapid growth in demand for high-quality video, audio, and data transmission, growing use of 5G technology, and demand for internet will further drive the FTTH market. According to Mordor Intelligence, the global fiber optic cable for Internet market is estimated to be worth USD 12,111 million in 2022, and the market will rise to USD 23,857 million by 2027.
