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
