Huawei has been chosen by Etisalat, the leading integrated service provider in the Middle East to build a large-scale commercial Fibre to the Home (FTTH) network in the
United Arab Emirates. The planned GPON FTTH network by Etisalat would provide ultra high speed connectivity for families and businesses through the use of optical line terminal (OLT) and optical network terminals (ONT). These terminals can accommodate various application scenarios such as commercial buildings, residential apartments and villas. By the end of 2008, Etisalat expects its customer base with direct access to FTTH to be in the hundreds of thousands. Etisalat has crafted an All IP strategy to drive business and network transformation, rolling out last-mile connectivity using FTTH to replace the current network with fibre optical technology.
