Telus, Canada’s second-largest telecommunications company has published its FTTH plans in its annual report: In 2007, TELUS expects to continue field trials of fibre to the home (FTTH) technologies utilizing standards-based gigabit passive optical network (GPON) technology. FTTH is one of several competing proposed FTTx standards (where x stands for home, curb, pedestal or neighbourhood) in development that TELUS is actively monitoring. Fibre to the curb (FTTC) with an Ethernet connection to the premises, which facilitates sustained transfers of up to 100 Mbps and peak transfers up to one gigabit per second (Gbps), may be a more practical technology to deploy in new green field neighbourhoods or multiple dwelling units than the current copper loops. In addition, TELUS is exploring business models for the economical deployment of fibre-based technologies in areas currently connected by copper.
