2)Dual-frequency automatic optimization<\/p>\n
The whole house uses one SSID for terminal device access, and 2.4GHz and 5GHz Wi-Fi share one SSID. The FTTR main optical modem decides to select a certain frequency band for access according to the signal strength of the terminal equipment.\u00a0The 5GHz frequency band is preferentially selected to ensure that the terminal equipment is in the state of optimal bandwidth carrying capacity.<\/p>\n

There are different slave OTN access points of one SSID. When the master OTN detects that the signal strength of the wireless device is poor under the current access point, it will activate the wireless device to switch to access points with better signals within 100ms. This ensures that service is not interrupted when people move between rooms during video calls, online education, and online games.<\/p>\n

<\/span>FTTR business model<\/b><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/h2>\nFTTR extends the optical fiber into every room. The characteristics of this solution determine that the delivery and deployment of FTTR is one of the key points to achieving a large-scale commercial launch. According to the different delivery and deployment timing, it can be divided into two scenarios:<\/p>\n
\n- \n
<\/span>\u00a0\u201cPost-decoration\u201d scenario: <\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nDeploy fiber optics in an already occupied house. In this scenario, the distribution of information points in the room cannot be changed, and the distribution of hidden pipes in the house wall cannot be changed. Optical fiber laying is generally carried out in the presence of network cables and coaxial cables in the hidden pipes which requires higher pipe penetration skills of construction personnel. There may also be situations where there is no dark pipe or the dark pipe cannot be penetrated. In this case, only open wires can be deployed, and in rare cases, they cannot be deployed.<\/p>\n
\n- \n
<\/span>“Before decoration” scenario: <\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nIndoor optical fiber networks are deployed before users move into houses, such as during house decoration or in hardcover commercial houses. In this scenario, the distribution of information points can be planned as required. All-optical cables are routed through dark pipes, and there will be no open-line deployment. It is very easy to implement since the fibers are passed through empty pipes.<\/p>\n
Obviously, for the project deliverer, the construction and deployment of the “before-decoration” scenario are less difficult than the “post-decoration” scenario, especially in the face of a more complex room type such as a villa. Besides, there is no risk of failure in the “before-decoration” construction. For users, the “before-decoration” scenario can ensure the reasonable planning of information points, and ensure the optimal coverage of the Wi-Fi signal to the whole house space. What\u2019s more, all-optical cables are deployed in dark pipes, which makes it easier to ensure indoor aesthetics. Therefore, it is conducive to the better popularization of FTTR to explore the “before-decoration” business model and develop the industrial ecology.<\/p>\n
The “before-decoration” business model involves cooperation with decoration companies and real estate companies. There are two implementation approaches. One is that operators cooperate with home improvement companies to deploy FTTR solutions when new or old houses are renovated; the other is operators cooperate with real estate developers to deploy FTTR in well-decorated commercial housing.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
ISPs\u00a0cooperate with home improvement companies<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\nThe purpose of cooperation with real estate developers is to implement FTTR solutions in batches in well-decorated\u00a0houses. The ISPs\u00a0can negotiate with the real estate developer to write the indoor optical fiber laying into the delivery standard of the\u00a0room, and deploy the optical fiber in the\u00a0room.\u00a0The ISPs\u2019 installation and maintenance personnel can conduct centralized construction and deployment\u00a0to ensure the delivery quality of the optical fiber network.<\/p>\n
In the stage of commercial housing sales, operators simultaneously carry out FTTR package marketing activities to attract homeowners to sign up for FTTR packages\u00a0on the premise of\u00a0the optical fiber being\u00a0reserved in the room. Real estate developers can establish a certain differentiation in\u00a0well-decorated\u00a0houses and show the technological nature of brands\u00a0through this kind of cooperation, while ISPs have the opportunity to develop high-value package users in batches.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
ISPs\u00a0cooperate with real estate developers<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\nIn short, the “before-decoration” business model can achieve multiple wins and boost the construction of “new infrastructure” for home networks.<\/p>\n
In comparison, the business model of the “post-decoration” scenario follows the traditional ISP 2C business model, and the industrial ecology will not undergo major changes.<\/p>\n
<\/span>C<\/b><\/strong>onclusion:<\/b><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/h2>\nLooking forward to the future, FTTR can build a leading home information infrastructure for thousands of households with its technical superiority. The advantages include ultra-gigabit bandwidth, seamless indoor roaming, non-perceptual switching, an optical network not susceptible to interference, and easy evolution. Cloud VR, 4K\/8K video, online education, online office, and other application services provide the ultimate experience and provide a solid information-bearing base for subsequent innovative application services.<\/p>\n
For ISPs, FTTR will help them establish a differentiated advantage in the home broadband business and home networking service market. In particular, the intelligent operation and maintenance of home networks have advantages that users can easily perceive compared to home networking solutions. The latter uses 2C channels such as e-commerce.<\/p>\n
The\u00a0 FTTR will become a key factor in promoting the growth of home businesses and better supporting the development of the digital economy. In the future, FiberMall will work with more partners to continue to promote the application of FTTR in the all-optical industry, to fully satisfy the network demand of users in the gigabit era.<\/p>\n
