1. Higher transmission rate and bandwidth:- Optical module upgrade: With the advancement of technology, optical modules supporting higher transmission rates will continue to emerge. At present, there are optical modules from 10G, 40G, 100G to 400G, 800G, and they will evolve towards 1.6T and higher rates in the future to meet users' growing high-bandwidth needs for large file transfer, high-definition video conferencing, real-time cloud services, etc.- Improvement of optical fiber technology: The development of new optical fiber materials and manufacturing processes can further reduce the loss of optical fiber, improve performance indicators such as effective mode bandwidth and injection mode bandwidth, and provide support for higher transmission rates and bandwidth. For example, the application of ultra-low loss optical fiber will continue to expand, helping to achieve ultra-high-speed, long-distance stable transmission.2. Wider application and popularization:- Driven by cost reduction: On the one hand, the cost of optical fiber raw materials is gradually decreasing; on the other hand, the manufacturing cost of related equipment such as optical network cards and optical transceivers is also constantly decreasing. At the same time, the continuous maturity and simplification of installation and construction technology has gradually reduced the overall cost of FTTD, which will prompt more enterprises, institutions and families to choose FTTD technology.- Expansion of application scenarios: In addition to the public security, judicial, financial, military, medical and health industries with high bandwidth and security requirements, FTTD technology will be applied in more ordinary enterprises, commercial places, educational institutions and other scenarios. For example, the increasing demand for high-speed and stable networks in corporate office environments will promote the popularization of FTTD; multimedia teaching, scientific research laboratories and other scenarios in schools also require high-bandwidth network support, and FTTD technology will be very useful.3. Integration with other technologies:- Integration with 5G/6G technology: With the widespread application of 5G networks and the advancement of the research and development of 6G communication technology, FTTD technology will be closely integrated with mobile communication technology. For example, in indoor scenarios, FTTD can provide high-speed backhaul links for 5G/6G small base stations, achieve deep coverage and high-quality communication of indoor signals, and provide users with a seamless high-speed network experience.- Integration with IoT technology: The rapid development of IoT has brought about a huge demand for device connection and data transmission. FTTD technology can provide high-speed and stable network connection for IoT devices. For example, in IoT scenarios such as smart home and smart office, FTTD can achieve high-speed communication and collaborative work between various smart devices, and promote the development of IoT applications.- Integration with cloud computing technology: Cloud computing requires high-speed and reliable network connection to achieve rapid data transmission and processing. FTTD technology can provide cloud computing with a low-latency, high-bandwidth network foundation, improving the service quality and efficiency of cloud computing. Users can quickly access various applications and services in the cloud through the FTTD network, and achieve efficient office and business processing.4. Intelligent network management:- Intelligent operation and maintenance: By introducing technologies such as artificial intelligence and big data, intelligent monitoring and management of FTTD networks can be achieved. For example, real-time monitoring and analysis of network traffic, device status, link quality, etc., timely discovery and resolution of network failures and performance issues, and improved network reliability and stability.- Automatic configuration and optimization: Network equipment can automatically configure and optimize according to user needs and the actual situation of the network, such as automatically allocating bandwidth, adjusting routes, etc., to improve network efficiency and performance.5. More beautiful and convenient terminal equipment:- Miniaturized and integrated design: Optical terminal equipment such as optical network cards and optical transceivers will develop in the direction of miniaturization and integration, reducing the size and space occupied by the equipment, and facilitating user installation and use. For example, in the future, there may be optical network cards integrated on the computer motherboard, or small optical transceiver modules integrated with other network devices.- Beautiful desktop terminals: The design of desktop fiber optic terminal equipment will be more beautiful and humanized, and better integrated with the office environment and home environment. For example, the beautiful and elegant equipment of the 86 panel type optical socket transceiver will be more widely used, providing users with a convenient and comfortable network access experience.
