DISTRIBUTED TAP OVERVIEW

Pulse’s Distributed Tap FTTH Design

Pulse’s design relies on only 4-8 fibers from the node. Since bandwidth is not constrained by the fiber (in fact a single fiber can carry massive amounts of data, current constraints are only in the network equipment), this solution is as robust as competing FTTH architectures. Pulse’s solution takes 4-8 fibers to “taps” that then extend single fibers “drops” to each home. We have managed to reduce the total construction cost significantly compared to traditional FTTH architectures.

Conventional FTTH Designs

Notice that the above design requires one fiber for each home passed. This could mean that there could be as many as 1,000+ fibers emanating from a node! This is a costly proposition and creates risk to the extent the fiber is cut (imagine matching and splicing 1,000+ fibers to restore service!).
