Fttb router

This type of connection is offered to customers in private homes, where the operator is unprofitable to lay fiber-optic networks. One lane is shared between all users.

Rostelecom connection type: what kind of connection is used, types of home Internet technology

The type of connection Rostelecom for the Internet is GPON, FTTb and ADSL. The provider uses the method of data transmission technology depending on the region of Russia and the possibility of laying networks.

For example, the company offers fast internet technology xPON and FTTb for major cities. And residents of remote settlements can choose only slow Internet via telephone cable – ADSL.

The main type of connection used in most settlements is FTTb with a maximum speed of 100 Mbit/s. The type of network connection determines what equipment (router) the subscriber should use.

Regardless of the type of connection to your home Internet service, your router or computer settings always use the WAN connection type, PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet). This is a high-speed point-to-point network connection protocol.

In the article – what type of connection for the Internet uses Rostelecom, how to find out the technology, types of routers.

What type of Internet connection is used by Rostelecom

Rostelecom offers customers the following home Internet connection technologies:

The type of Internet connection depends on the technical capability of the operator, in particular the distance of the house from the main backbone networks.

Let's take a closer look at all types of Rostelecom Internet connection.

GPON/xPON

GPON (Gigabit-capable Passive Optical Networks) is a technology over fiber-optic, fragile cable that stretches directly from Rostelecom stations to the subscriber's home. An optical modem is installed at the entrance to the apartment. It is connected to the Internet cable and a power outlet for the modem. There is no need to set up anything – the technician will set up the optical modem himself. If the motherboard has a RJ-45 connector, the wire can be connected directly to the computer.

This type of connection does not cause any interference and provides a very fast connection. This is due to the fact that there are no intermediate nodes in the networks. No electrical current is required to transmit the signal, so even if the power goes out at home, the Internet connection will be available. The wire is safe for humans.

The main advantage of this connection with optics is a perfect connection at speeds of up to 1 Gbit/s, and the maximum bandwidth of the network is 2.4 Gbit/s. The new xPON technology can achieve bandwidths of up to 10 Gbit/s.

You can simultaneously download large files, make video calls, watch interactive TV WINK in HD quality, watch movies on many devices without any hang-ups. If you make phone calls through GPON optics, the connection will be clear, without interference or interruptions.

GPON from Rostelecom will work perfectly regardless of how far away the client's home is from the provider's station. This is especially true for those who live out of town. The maximum wire length can be up to 60 km, which can be used to connect up to 128 customers.

What it is in simple words

FTTx is translated from English (Fiber-To-The-x), which means that the fiber optic is pulled from the network station to the point x (apartment, a particular entrance, home). In Russia, FTTx is called the word Fibre optics.

Internet is transmitted by converting electrical signals into light and vice versa. This technology is very reliable, it provides stable and lossless speed Internet operation regardless of the distance. Most often, fiber optic is stretched to the building, and then from the communication hub to each apartment standard RJ-45 copper cables are laid.

Classification and characteristics of available GPON FTTx technologies:

1. FTTH (Fiber-To-The-Home) – Fiber-optic cable is carried directly to the apartment or private home of the subscriber;
2. FTTB (Fiber-To-The-Building) – Fiber-To-The-Building (FTTH): A building is connected via fiber-optic cable, and then each apartment is connected to the Internet using other methods. This method is used in cities with large populations.
3. FTTN (Fiber-to-the-Node) – A fiber optic cable is stretched to a network node – city, neighborhood, station. Then many kilometers of copper cables are stretched from the station to each building using VDSL technology (a new version of ADSL Internet over home telephony). This low-cost connection is limited to 50 Mbps, a value that depends directly on the range. FTTN is not used in large cities. Another type of this technology is FTTC (Fiber to the Curb), where the fiber optic cable is laid close to buildings (up to 300 meters).
4. FTTD (Fiber-To-The-Desktop) – The cable goes straight into the subscriber's computer. It's called FTTS, where the S stands for Subscriber.

FTTB (FTTx) has minimal loss in speed and stability, and the bandwidth can deliver up to 1 Gbps for each customer. The higher the network access speed, the more expensive the tariff.

Rates

Choose your tariff for internet and other services on the official website of the company. There you can also leave a request for connection.

Rostelecom offers to connect the Internet together with other services in one package:

• Interactive TV Wink with more than 300 channels;
• Wink online movie theater with 60,000 channels. movies and TV series;
• Mobile communications;
• Antivirus;

The cost of the tariff depends not only on the maximum speed, but also on the number of additional options and the number of TV channels.

FTTB technology introduced everywhere.

FTTB technology in Russian means "fiber optic cable to the building". It describes a generalized infrastructure of bringing cables to residential and non-residential objects. To understand what it is (FTTB) – this is how the infrastructure was installed in the image:

1. From the main or branching network node, a channel of optical fiber is laid to a facility with multiple subscribers to be connected.
2. The cable is fed into a special router with ports for connecting multiple subscribers.

The average Ethernet-cable that connects to the LAN-port is labeled Cat5e. The speed limit of this cable is 1 Gbit / s. The provider that connects individuals via FTB usually offers this kind of service:

When deploying infrastructure using FTTB, this kind of network is distributed as a ring star model. The latter allows for a future-proof network that is scalable, flexible, secure and cost-effective.

The growing popularity of FTTH

To lure new subscribers and convert old ones, many providers are using the latest in a series of FTTX technologies as a PR for better Internet. A logical construction scheme based on FTTH connectivity technology:

1. A channel is laid from a network node to a facility with many connectable recipients.
2. Using its own equipment, the provider can lay an optical cable instead of a twisted pair.
3. The optics are fed into a special slot on the router or network card, called GPON.

It should be noted that FTTH (technology of laying optical fiber to the house) is inextricably linked with xPON – passive optical network technology, which provides multifunctional broadband access to the global network. With xPON access the subscriber gets:

1. Internet bandwidth of up to 2400 Mbps – largely depending on your equipment and the capabilities of your provider's equipment.
2. Low chances of breaks and interference – if there is a problem with the optics, they change it on the whole section, because of the complexity of fiber welding.
3. The subscriber has a full fiber optic resource at his disposal – increasing capacity and bandwidth for the future.
4. One wire can be used to connect several services at once: Internet, telephone, television.

How to get connected?

In general, let me tell you a story that happened to me. I live in a private area and heard a rumor that Rostelecom was going to install fiber optic cable. I called, checked and left a request for connection to the Internet and IP-TV. If you live in an apartment, you can also call to clarify whether you can connect using GPON technology. If it is possible, you can connect. If not, you have two options:

• You can stay on twisted pair – in fact you are already connected to the optics, it's just the "twisted pair" that goes to the apartment. There is nothing bad in this, as experts say, no packet loss of any serious – no, but the speed above 1 Gbit will not.
• The tenants of the house should gather together and write a collective application for optics to each apartment. Of course you will have to pay for this.

In any case, just call the hotline Rostelecom, and they will tell you everything: 8 (800) 10-00-800 – Also do not forget to ask about the "GIPON" tariffs that they have.

What to do after the application?

As soon as you get fiber optics, you will also have two options for connection, but about everything in order. Let's start with the fact that the computer does not understand the information that is transmitted via optical cable. And that's understandable: it doesn't even have such a port. So you need to make the connection:

• A regularGPON terminal – It will essentially act as a kind of translator and bridge. The input will be optical, and the output will be Ethernet. Then the terminal itself can be connected to the computer directly or use a router, so that all family members can use the benefits of the Internet.

And now the most important thing – they will sell you SFP-routers or terminals from Rostelecom, saying that they work only with their equipment. Know this – they just want to make dough off you, because these terminals and routers are many times more expensive than their competitors. My advice would be to just buy a router with an SFP port or a similar terminal. In general, the advice is one – do not buy or rent anything from them. See a selection of routers with optical cables here.

To sum it up

So, we have considered the main models of routers that are suitable for Rostelecom. Which router to choose depends on your wishes for wireless network operation and capabilities. Now there is a large selection of budget models, which have average technical characteristics and are available to everyone, as well as serious equipment with more extensive capabilities.

Hello, Good Wanderer! All major cities and towns have already deployed fiber optic network infrastructure. Fiber optic is being used at the intercontinental, interstate, inter-city and inter-district level. It is brought to the house, and some providers bring it directly into the apartment. FTTB remains the most popular access technology among providers, but first things first.

Technology FTTx

There are several types of cabling included in the FTTx classification:

1. FTTN (FibertotheNode) – Fiber to the network node, which is a city or county station or a communication center.
2. FTTC (FibertotheCurb) – Fiber optic is stretched to a neighborhood or grouped into a single node of houses (communication substation).
3. FTTB (Fibertothebuilding) – Fiber to the building. This is the most common technology, which began to be widely used since 2005 to connect apartment buildings.
4. FTTH (FibertotheHome) – Fiber to the home/apartment. The last and rapidly gaining momentum in terms of connectivity technology. Because the fiber optic is wired directly into the router, modem, or computer network card.

Basically, what is FTTx – this classification is differentiated by the range of the fiber to the end subscriber.

What is the advantage of GPON technology

FTTB GPON node develops transmission of data many times greater than the ADSL modem technology. Optical cable is brought into the premises to the subscriber, and through this cable the Internet, telephone and television services are provided with a guaranteed quality of service:

• a wide range of delivered services;
• there is no need for additional equipment, optical cable is directly connected to the personal computer;
• long service life;
• The ability to exchange large amounts of information;
• FTTB Internet – affordable prices for all categories of users;
• stable and high-quality connection at any time of the day or night.

GPON technology was introduced relatively recently.

Scheme of connecting FTTB and equipment needed for its implementation

Fiber optic cable is not laid in one piece from the PBX to the premises. In a certain part of the line the signal is divided. Optical splitter, turns one fiber into several.

The ONU network equipment is installed in the distribution cabinet of an apartment building and has several ports for connecting neighboring apartments.

ONT is a device for individual use (it is called an optical modem). FTTB modem of GPON standard is connected to the home PC via twisted pair, or wirelessly (Wi-Fi). The ONT also has ports for connecting a TV and a VoIP phone.

OLT (Optical Line Terminal) – The equipment is called a PON switch. ONT and ONU convert the optical signals coming from the OLT.

If the optical line from the OLT is separated by a splitter and the ONT is connected at the output, this transition forms a Passive Optical Network (PON). Optical splitter is one of the most important components of passive optical networks.

Patch cord Duplex – a section of fiber-optic cable with optical connectors at both ends is used to connect to the network equipment.

Please note! PON technology does not use any active equipment. This results in high channel capacity and the ability to connect multiple services over a single line.

Deployment of PON FTTB lines is made by well-known providers in Russia.

FTTB Rostelecom – what is it? It is a high-speed connection to the Internet of optical fiber. For a long time Rostelecom has been promoting ADSL technology, which allows you to get speed up to 24 Mbit/sec. At the same time the telephone lines should be perfect, but they are few. Therefore, the maximum signal will be only for those consumers who live close to the telephone exchange.
