 FOA FTTH Handbook  

FOA FTTH Handbook has become the best selling FOA book and has a 4.7/5 rating by buyers on Amazon. What do readers say? "

"As an industry veteran with 35 years experience in designing, building, and operating telecom and data networks, this is the best resource I have come across for new managers, project managers, and support staff. This is a great resource that employees will come back to time and again."

"Excellent content on FTTH network design & architecture."

"With Fiber To The Home becoming a necessity, this book is a very complete text on all the important aspects that the planner and installer must know." That's from Bill Graham, FOA Director. He might be slightly prejudiced....

FOA has noted lots of interest in FTTH from other areas around the world, especially Central and South America, so we translated the FTTH website and FTTH Handbook into Spanish.

It has become obvious that high speed Internet access has become a necessity for everyone not a luxury. The best and most obvious solution, fiber to the home (FTTH,) has become a reality and is in widespread use worldwide. This handbook is written for those who want to know more about FTTH, whether they are considering a FTTH project for their area or are involved already in planning, designing, building or operating a FTTH network already.

This book is a compilation of all the FTTH materials from the FOA Guide and FTTH CFOS/H certification curriculum with additional materials covering project design and management. The FOA materials come from almost two decades of experience with FTTH including developing training curriculum for training techs for the earliest commercial installations of FTTH and consulting with many diverse FTTH projects.

This handbook is written to provide the technical information that can help a service provider understand how to start a FTTH project or a local organization decide if they want to create a do-it-yourself FTTH project run by their local government, electrical coop or a public-private partnership.

The FOA book uses state-of-the-art "publish on demand" technology where the book is printed when you order it using the latest printing technology. This new technology is less expensive than conventional publishing plus the cost of inventory is no longer an issue for books. We can update the book easily to keep up with new technology, applications, and FOA programs. The FOA, a real non-profit organization working for the good of the industry, is passing these savings directly on to you by making our books more affordable!
