Service providers continue to drive fiber closer to the end-user and network operators are leveraging the near infinite information carrying capacity of fiber. Fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) deployments continue to grow across the world and as fiber gets closer to end-users, the demands on fiber-based networks will continue to increase. Limited facility space and installers ability to deploy quickly are driving smaller designs and more strenuous deployment conditions. In case of higher performance for fiber installations in buildings, cost-optimizing and save installation new developments of bend-enhanced fibers are pushed.
