Tomorrow's digital infrastructure is being built today — and it's called fiber optics. While many households are still surfing using classic coaxial cables (HFC), FTTH (fiber to the home) is expanding rapidly in Germany.
Many companies ask themselves: “The future of network infrastructure: Is fiber the clear path? ” Although cable connections today offer speeds of up to 1 Gbit/s, several households share the available bandwidth. This leads to fluctuations in performance, particularly during peak hours.
Fiber optics on the other hand, provides stable, symmetrical bandwidths and impresses with low latency. The technology is scalable and ready for tomorrow's requirements. Be it 8K streaming, cloud gaming or the digitalization of industry.
Another advantage: optical fiber consumes significantly less energy than traditional copper cables. This is an advantage for sustainability and operating costs that should not be underestimated.

FTTH (Fiber to the Home) means that fiber optic cables are routed directly into the house or apartment — without intermediate copper segments. This distinguishes it from other expansion stages such as FTTB or FTTC, where the last piece is about older technologies.
The federal government is pursuing the goal of providing Germany with fiber optics across the board by 2030. FTTH expansion plays a key role in:
The expansion is therefore not just a technical step, but a social and economic necessity.
FTTH expansion entails many technical and organizational challenges: civil engineering, permits, resource planning. But an often underestimated factor is customer communication.
Many people ask themselves:
Without smart processes and digital support, the burden on hotlines and support teams increases, especially during the rollout phase.
Conntac offers digital solutions that support network operators, public utilities and telecommunications providers with the introduction of FTTH.
