Fiber to the office meets the connectivity challenges of the education sector

This blog discusses the benefits of fiber to the office (FTTO) in the educational sector. FTTO refers to a fiber-based local area network (LAN) that consists of fiber cabling, unpowered splitters, optical line terminals (OLTs) and optical network units (ONUs), and which is used in campus settings. The blog highlights why the education sector is a good fit for the deployment of FTTO. It focuses on how FTTO can meet the growing bandwidth requirements of the education sector, while also being well suited to the topology of educational establishments and being able to deliver both capex and opex savings versus traditional copper-based LANs.
