Fiber to the Home (FTTH) is the next wave in communication technology. It uses fiber-optic cable instead of traditional copper cable to deliver telephone, Internet, and video service. The upgrade to fiber-optic cable provides capacity for unlimited amounts of data, which is particularly relevant to Internet and video communication technologies. As Shawnee Telephone completes burial of fiber-optic cable and installation of the required equipment, your home service will be ready for the demands of today’s telephone, Internet, and video communications.
Benefits
Fiber optic equipment will allow Shawnee Telephone to offer cleaner, more reliable home telephone service. You may not notice any change in your service except that you’ll have a supplied battery back-up that will maintain your phone service in case of a power outage.
With fiber-to-the-home, you’ll enjoy a faster Internet (data) experience. A fiber-to-the-home system will also give Shawnee Telephone the ability to provide necessary bandwidth for high tech services developing in years ahead.
Progress Reports
Shawnee Telephone is currently working to complete the update to fiber-optic cable in our service areas. In addition, we will be installing the equipment required for FTTH service in each customer’s home.
