Abstract:
The traditional copper network used for the telecommunications networks have reached its extinction.
The probability of wireless transmission at high speed is still an issue. Fiber as a physical medium gives the
solution of a faster network without loss of data. In Sri Lanka, Fiber technology was adapted in the central
network system. The number of customers who wants to get Fiber to the Home (FTTH), is still in low
numbers. People opt to use the traditional wireless approach and copper network to access the internet.
But the demand for high speed internet is increasing with the introduction of Internet of Things
(IoT).People often find fiber optic connection is expensive to get and the initial cost is quite high. The aim
of the paper is to propose technologies that could be adopted in Sri Lanka to increase the number of
consumers using FTTH. It is discussed how the connectivity of FTTH can be improved in Sri Lanka. Five
Methods are discussed to improve the customer connectivity of FTTH. Analysis of methods is done on
how they can help to fulfil the purpose of connecting more users by improved efficient systems and reduced
cost thus enabling people to access the fastest connectivity.
