Fiber to the home is the technology used for connecting various premises, buildings, and apartments with optic fiber. It helps in transferring high internet speed from one central point to all other premises near a central point such as residential and commercial buildings. These optical fiber cables are made up of tiny glasses that comprise light beams. The several advantages optical fiber offer over conventional cables include fastest & easiest way of accessing internet, provides high bandwidth that enables high quality video streaming, conferencing, and calls.
Vodafone Group Plc, a London-based company declared the commencement of 1 gigabit ultrafast fiber broadband services in Ireland. In addition, the company announced the expansion of Fiber to the home network in Portugal and is expected to reach 2.75 million homes by 2020.

These factors boost the growth of the fiber to the home market owing to meeting the requirement of high-speed internet services.
DSL and other cable modems depend on copper wires for internet, which provides a high bandwidth, however, is unable to cover a distance beyond 100 yards. But this restriction is not applicable with optic fiber cables as it has high bandwidth and can also reach over long distances. The other cables work on maximum five megabits per second speed for transmitting data while an optic fiber can increase the speed up to maximum 100 megabits per second.
Factors such as increase in demand for faster connection speeds, better internet infrastructure, and rise in adoption of smart gadgets are the major factors driving FTTH market growth. However, high initial cost for the deployment of Fiber to the home network act as a major restraint for the market. Furthermore, increase in government initiatives for the development of smart city projects and smart home automation projects provide lucrative opportunities to the FTTH in.
