Home Networking Zone

New for 2007 the FTTH Council introduces the Home Networking Zone – an area dedicated to

demonstrating how FTTH facilitates the next generation home environment. Located in the

Atlantic Hall and optically powered by the Fiber Powered Pavilion attendees will be able

to experience HDTV, gaming and ultra-broadband media devices

Fiber Powered Pavilion

Centrally located in the Pacific exhibition hall, the Fiber-Powered Pavilion will showcase

interactive demonstrations services and how they are best facilitated via FTTH. This pavilion will serve as a focal point for educating visitors

about what FTTH means, its capability and industry resources available harnessing fiber

including content aggregation providers, FTTH providers and ultra-broadband services.

Fiber has changed the way we live, play and work. Learn more about

the most powerful access medium available today – and tomorrow at
