    • The FTTH Council is urging telecom providers to transition from copper networks to fiber for improved performance and sustainability.
    • The push comes amid resistance from providers hesitant to upgrade their infrastructure.

    What happened: FTTH Council urges telecom providers to transition from copper to fiber networks

    The FTTH (Fiber to the Home) Council has called attention to telecom providers still relying on outdated copper networks, urging them to make the switch to fiber-optic infrastructure. The Council emphasizes the superior performance, reliability, and energy efficiency of fiber networks compared to copper.

    Resistance to transitioning stems from high costs and logistical challenges involved in upgrading infrastructure. However, the FTTH Council argues that continuing to rely on copper networks could result in falling behind in an increasingly competitive telecom landscape, where fiber is quickly becoming the standard for high-speed, low-latency connectivity.

    The Council also highlighted the environmental benefits of fiber networks, which consume significantly less energy than copper-based systems, aligning with global sustainability goals.

    Why it’s important 

    The shift from copper to fiber is crucial for modernizing telecom networks and meeting the growing demand for high-speed internet. Fiber networks offer faster speeds, greater reliability, and energy efficiency, making them essential for supporting future technologies like IoT and 5G.

    The FTTH Council’s push underscores the need for telecom providers to prioritize long-term investments in fiber, despite short-term costs. This transition is not only critical for maintaining a competitive edge but also for contributing to global sustainability efforts by reducing energy consumption.
