Fibre to the home

FTTH is a more modern way of connecting single dwellings, mutiple dwelling buildings or large industrial estates to high speed, high capacity digital based network. The type of network thepacific.net uses is called a Gigabit Ethernet Passive Optical Network, or more simply GE-PON or often just shortened to a PON. There are several reasons we use this technology and brand of equipment.

• No active equipment in the field, so less things to fail.
• Much less fibre in the ground than traditional “point to point” fibre solutions
• The equipment we use has been designed to deliver multiple services with excellent robustness

There are a wide range of services that can be delivered over such a network.

• Traditional voice circuits (TDM) and/or Voice over IP (VoIP)delivery
• RF video delivery and or IP-TV (200+ channels)
• Video on demand, Pay TV
• Internet through TV
• Online gaming with PC or through TV
• Security monitoring
• Data speeds from 64kb/s to 1Gb/s
