The FBA Sustainability Working Group’s comprehensive analysis reveals that Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH) networks significantly outperform Hybrid Fiber Coaxial (HFC) networks in terms of environmental impact. From manufacturing to operation, FTTH demonstrates superior sustainability across all metrics.
Key findings include:
- 60% lower embodied carbon: FTTH networks require significantly fewer resources to build.
- 7% less installation carbon: FTTH deployment has a smaller carbon footprint.
- Up to 96% lower operational carbon: FTTH networks consume far less energy.
- 18% less carbon from customer premise equipment: FTTH devices have a smaller environmental impact.
While overbuilding an HFC network with fiber may initially increase carbon emissions, the long-term benefits are substantial. Within six years, the operational carbon savings from fiber-based services offset the initial investment, making FTTH the clear sustainability leader.
Join our webinar to delve deeper into these groundbreaking results and discover how fiber can help your organization achieve its environmental goals.
