Everyone knows that broadband access is absolutely essential in today's changed world, and fibre deployment plays a key role in this. However, fibre by itself is not sufficient. We should look further into the home, so that the amazing opportunities offered by fibre deployment can actually be realised, and end-users finally get the experience they deserve.
This Guide was written to help Communication Service Providers understand the topic of ‘In-home Broadband Excellence’, and determine the right path forward for their organisation. It raises three questions, each building upon the previous, which need to be answered in turn in order to get to an optimised solution:
· How to extend fibre performance to the end device?
· How to manage the user experience?
· How to add value and monetise it?
In this third edition edition, the IBE Guide updates a lot of its content to describe new technologies such as Wi-Fi 7 and FTTR, to describe state of the art handling of containers to deliver new services flexibly and scalably, an expansion on Wi-Fi mesh deployment methods and information for technicians to install Wi-Fi in the home in an effective and consistent way.
