FiOS - Technical details

1 To serve a home, a single-mode optical fiber extends from an optical

line terminal at a FiOS Telephone exchange|central office out to the neighborhoods where a passive

Beam splitter|optical splitter fans out the same signal on up to 32 fibers, thus serving up to 32 subscribers



1 Older FiOS installations mount the ONT inside the house and use Category 5 cable|Category 5 cable for data and coaxial cable for video, while newer markets mount the ONT outside the house and use Multimedia over Coax Alliance (MoCA) protocol for both data and video over a single coaxial cable.

Voice service is carried over the existing telephone wires already in the house.



1 One of the three wavelength bands is devoted to carrying television channels using standard QAM

(television)|QAM cable television technology. The other two

wavelengths are devoted to all other data, one for outbound and the other for inbound data. This includes video on demand, telephone and Internet

data.https://store.theartofservice.com/itil-2011-foundation-complete-certification-kit-fourth-edition-study-guide-ebook-and-online-course.html


1 This allocation of wavelengths adheres to the ITU-T G.983 standard, also known as

an Asynchronous Transfer Mode|ATM passive optical network (APON). Verizon initially installed slower Passive optical

network#Standards|BPONs but now only installs Passive optical

network#Standards|GPONs specified in the ITU-T G.984 standard. These bands

and speeds are:



1 * 1310 nanometre|nm wavelength for upstream (networking)|upstream data at 155 Mbit/s (1.2 Gbit/s with

GPON)

information through the out-of-band (OOB) channel just as other coax or

RF connector|RF-based STB's do

and provides the set-top boxes with programming guides and all SD

channels, but High-definition television|high definition content (beyond local HD

channels which are in clear QAM) requires HD equipment like a FiOS HD

set-top box/DVR or a CableCARD-supporting device, such as TiVo


FiOS - Television

IP over FiOS. The common model optical network terminals have two

or four phone jacks.
