If you're getting your broadband through Fibre to the Premises (FTTP), you'll need an Optical Network Terminal (ONT) in your home to set up your hub, instead of a normal master socket. It lets us run fibre cables all the way to your home giving you a faster and more reliable speed.
Is Optical Network Terminal same as router?
A router provides a switching station for computer networks. It's similar to a rail yard with multiple branches that condense into one. An optical network terminal (ONT) is like a modem, but for fibre-opticfibre-opticOptical fibers are used most often as a means to transmit light between the two ends of the fiber and find wide usage in fiber-optic communications, where they permit transmission over longer distances and at higher bandwidths (data transfer rates) than electrical cables.https://en.wikipedia.org › wiki › Optical_fiberOptical fiber - Wikipedia networks.
What is an ONT used for?
The role of an ONT An ONT converts those ultra-fast light signals into electrical signals, and it also converts electrical signals back into light signals. This way, electronic devices (like your router) can actually use the signal.
Is ONT modem or router?
The ONT (also called the modem) connects to the Termination Point (TP) with an optical fibre cable. It connects to your router via a LAN / ethernet cable and translates light signals from the fibre optic line from your TP into electronic signals that your router can read.Dec 7, 2021
