The answer is YES! Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH) networks—which take fiber-optic cables all the way to customer addresses—are the gold standard for internet technology and superior to hybrid fiber-coaxial networks, DSL networks using copper lines, and wireless/cellular networks. Panora Fiber is building a FTTH network in the areas of rural Bagley, rural Linden to Redfield, and rural Redfield to rural Adel/Earlham. You’ll soon have access to many advantages including these: Fastest Internet Speeds Fiber-optic cables can deliver data to and from devices at speeds over 1 Gig (1,000 Mbps), which far surpasses other types of network technology. What’s more, these speeds can be symmetrical, meaning the download and upload speeds are the same. When you’re connected to a FTTH network, you’ll have the internet speed you need for all your online activities. Incredible Reliability Unlike copper lines, fiber-optic cables contain strands of glass and are unaffected by electromagnetic interference, making them much more resilient to outside factors including severe weather, temperature fluctuations, and moisture. A FTTH network is also not limited by obstructions such as buildings or hills as are wireless networks. More Enjoyable Entertainment The super-fast internet connections provided by FTTH networks enable you to fully enjoy all of today’s entertainment options, from streaming movies and TV shows to online gaming, social media, and video calls. Since you won’t have to deal with the annoyance of buffering that comes from a too-slow internet connection, you’ll be able to just relax and enjoy the fun. Low Latency Latency refers to how much time it takes for an internet signal to travel to its destination and back. Low latency is important for activities where a delay would matter, such as online gaming, video conferencing, and stock trading. Fiber internet typically has much lower latency than other types. Future-Ready Capacity The average number of internet-connected devices in the home continues to rise each year, as does internet usage. While other types of networks struggle to keep up with rising demand, FTTH networks offer virtually unlimited capacity and are ready to meet tomorrow’s technology requirements, whatever they may be. Increased Productivity Time is money, so the incredible speed and reliability of fiber internet make it the best choice for businesses. When connected to a FTTH network, employees can work more productively and quickly access data and applications stored in the cloud. Want to benefit from Panora Fiber’s FTTH network?
