Buyers’ Guide Abbreviations and Technical Terms

Are you a developer seeking a Fiber-to-the-Home net-work provider? Are you at an independent telephone company, investigating ideas for serving your custom-

ers quadruple-play fiber? Are you a municipal official or Private Cable Operator having trouble with VoIP or data quality of service? Are you searching for content, or for a merger partner? Are you a contractor thinking about blown fiber or directional drilling to avoid digging up streets for a fiber overbuild?

This Buyers’ Guide is for you.This year’s guide is our biggest yet, 161 companies – more than double last year’s guide. The big increase is in firms offering Fiber-to-the-Home or other fiber services specifically – 132 this year, almost triple the 49 we listed last November. Most firms servicing the FTTx market also serve the telecommunications and cable industries. In fact, all broadband providers look to

fiber to increase bandwidth. Ethernet technology is making it easier for vendors to mix-and-match copper technologies with fiber as well, especially on the side of the network closest to customers – the first mile.

We’ve arranged the guide for easy clip-and-save, but it is also on line at www.bbpmag.com. Visit us there as well.
