FTTH Modem & Equipment

An iPrimus Fibre to the Home service requires several pieces of equipment in order to provide you with ultra-fast broadband to your home or business. This includes the network device which converts the Optic Fibre signal into a format that can be read by your PC, and a router - ftth modem - which provides authentication, and the ability to utilise your connection within your home.

Network Termination Unit (NTU)

The Network Termination Unit (NTU) is typically installed at the customer’s home on the outside of the house. The overhead or underground fibre optic cable from the street will connect directly to the NTU and converts optical signals into signals your equipment, such as a telephone or modem can understand.

The NTU is then connected to power inside your house, and internal wiring is required to have the connection completed within your home.

Wireless Router

As Fibre to the Home (FTTH) technology is vastly different to standard ADSL / ADSL2+ broadband connections, most existing broadband modems will not be compatible with a Fibre to the Home (FTTH) service.

iPrimus offer a range of wireless routers to customers who subscribe to a Fibre to the Home (FTTH) service, which provides:

  • Wireless N1 (WIFI) for high speed wireless connections between computers2
  • 4 Ethernet ports (100Mbps) for wired connections
  • Advanced security options to ensure your network remains safe from unauthorised users

Please contact us to check out which available routers we can supply with your FTTH service!
