Fiber to the antenna is a new technology to deliver wireless network connection, which uses optical cables to connect cellular towers from where the wireless connection is provided. It is convenient for mobile users and even house applications, while meeting increasing demand for network bandwidth to support fast growing data usage from smartphones and tablets.
More bandwidth means more antennas. More antennas means more cables. It’s too heavy for towers to carry if they all use coax, for it is too heavy.
Optical fiber cable is the better choice for antennas connections. It is easy to install. And one single optical cable can do as much things as many copper cables.
