Foxcom

Since 1993, Foxcom has been developing fiber optic solutions for the professional satellite, TV and video distribution markets.

Foxcom’s BsmarTV suite keeps apace with the ever growing demand for more bandwidth, bringing HDTV, voice and broadband data via a single wire to the home. In addition our next generation Sat-Light/Platinum series reaffirms Foxcom’s continued commitment to maintaining and developing professional satellite communication links to earth stations, ISPs, cable TV headends and other communication gateways.

Foxcom currently has sales in over fifty countries and has provided more than 20,000 fiber optic links to diverse market segments.

Building on its strong technological foundation of optical broadband solutions, Foxcom is an industry leader in product quality, reliability and customer satisfaction. In addition to designing and manufacturing innovative systems its R&D department is always attuned to customer feedback. Consequently they have introduced several “firsts” in the TV, video, audio, and data transmission industries.

Organized around a global distribution network with sales offices and warehouses, Foxcom is dedicated to providing:

  • Comprehensive RF-to-fiber solutions
  • Unparalleled customer service to service providers and operators
  • A leading edge in the world of fiber optic communications

The Benefits of Fiber to the Home Broadband Connections

More than 10 million homes worldwide already have fiber-to-the-home broadband connections because the technology holds many advantages over current technologies.

A key benefit to FTTH -- also called FTTP, for “fiber-to-the-premises” broadband -- is that it provides for far faster connection speeds and carrying capacity than twisted pair conductors, DSL or coaxial cable. For example, a single copper pair conductor can carry six phone calls. A single fiber pair can carry more than 2.5 million phone calls simultaneously [source: Federal Communications Commission].

Experts at the FTTH Council say fiber-to-the-home connections are the only technology with enough bandwidth to handle projected consumer demands during the next decade reliably and cost effectively. The technology is already, affordable, as businesses around the world are demonstrating by getting into the business as they speculate on consumer demand.

Fiber has a virtually unlimited bandwidth coupled with a long reach, making it “future safe,” or a standard medium that will be in place for a long time to come [source: ICT Regulation Toolkit].

FTTH will be able to handle even the futuristic Internet uses some experts see coming. Technologies such as 3D holographic high definition television and games will someday be everyday items in households around the world. FTTH will be able to handle the estimated 30-gigabyte-per-second needs of such equipment. Current technologies can’t come close.

The FTTH broadband connection will spark the creation of products not yet dreamed of as they open new possibilities for data transmission rate. Using the past as a guide, think what items that now seem commonplace were not even on the drawing board five or 10 years ago. FTTH broadband connections will inspire new products and services and could open entire new sectors in the business world, experts at the FTTH Council say.

FTTH broadband connections also will allow consumers to “bundle” their communications services. For instance, a consumer could receive telephone, video, audio, television and just about any other kind of digital data stream using a simple FTTH broadband connection. Such an arrangement would be more cost effective and simpler than receiving those services via different lines, as is often the case today.
