  • FTTA – Fiber to the Antenna
Overview

The rapid evolution of mobile networks requires ever-increasing bandwidth to support a connected world driven by smartphones, IoT devices, and next-generation technologies. Fiber to the Antenna (FTTA) has become the gold standard for connecting Remote Radio Units (RRUs) on cell towers, delivering unparalleled performance and efficiency.

Why FTTA?

  • Superior Bandwidth & Lightweight Design: Optical fibers enable significantly higher data rates than traditional coaxial cables while being lighter and more compact.
  • Energy Efficiency: Optical cables require less energy to transmit high-frequency signals and minimize electromagnetic interference.
  • Enhanced Durability: Immune to lightning strikes and electrical surges, optical cables provide greater reliability in diverse environments.

The shift toward Centralized RAN (C-RAN) architecture, where Base Band Units (BBUs) are centralized and connected to multiple RRUs over distances of up to 20 km, further underscores the importance of FTTA. This architecture depends on robust fiber optics and precise signal management to ensure low latency and high-quality connections.
