USDA Rural Development Telecommunications Program Accepts CommScope's Fiber-to-the-Home Solution

·

The US Department of Agriculture's Rural Development Telecommunications Program has accepted CommScope's BrightPath® fiber-to-the-home solution, enabling service providers seeking funding from the Rural Utilities Service to propose the use of BrightPath products in business plans and applications they submit for RUS grants and loans.

The simple, effective BrightPath FTTH system from CommScope, a world leader in high-performance broadband infrastructure, works seamlessly with existing hybrid fiber coax (HFC) networks, employing a unique, tapped architecture that provides fiber connection from the head end/central office to the subscriber's premises. BrightPath provides all the benefits of a FTTH network without requiring changes to back-office, head end/central office or customer premises equipment.BrightPath is particularly effective in low-density housing and rural areas because of the low signal loss of optical fiber and the reduction or elimination of active devices in the network. In rural deployments, BrightPath can provide a competitive advantage with typically lower upfront costs and maintenance relative to traditional HFC networks.

"Acceptance of BrightPath by the Rural Development Telecommunications Program greatly benefits our customers," said Carl Meyerhoefer, vice president of Marketing and Business Development for CommScope's Broadband division. "Rural service providers now have an economical choice for an FTTH platform with which they can connect customers to high speed services, while at the same time supporting the broadband stimulus program."

Fiber Optics is Green!

Developed in the 1970s communication systems using optical fibers has revolutionized the telecommunications industry and have been played a leading role in the formation of New Technical Age. Fiber Optic communication is a method of transmitting information from one place to another by sending pulses of light through an optical fiber.

Fiber optics is the leading technology in the field of communication. Fiber has reached to the home finally by realizing the expectations for an unlimited bandwidth. Optical fibers still have unutilized potential for digital transmission. Learn fiber optics will give an edge and keep us updated with the technology. Watching demos, videos and reading more from internet is the cost effective option to learn about Optical fiber technology.

The fiber optic technology uses the light which forms an electromagnetic carrier wave. This will be modulated to carry information.. Optical fibers have clear advantages over other electrical transmission mediums. Optical fibers have largely replaced copper wire communications in core networks in the developed world and have been making inroads to the developing countries as well.

The communication process using fiber optics involves the following steps: Creation of the optical signal using a transmitter, relaying the signal along the Optical fiber, make sure that the optical signals do not get weakened, receiving the optical signal, and converting it into an electrical signal.

Optical fibers are eco-friendly and Fiber optic technology is Green!
Free download ITU-T specifications
Most of us search in the internet for international specifications for optical fibers, fiber optic cables and fiber optic technology based communication systems such as ITU-T, IEC, EIA/TIA, Bellcore, IEEE etc. Most of the international specifications are not free.

It must be a kind service from ITU-T that they provide most of the specifications free and anybody can download unlimited number of times! One of the most wanted ITU-T specification is ITU-T recommendation G.657A, which is for Bend Insensitive optical fiber. There are many useful recommendations and test methods from ITU-T, which the whole fiber optic industry use as a standard. Please find the links below and download the ITU-T recommedations free!
