 Synopsis
More than 10 million homes worldwide already have
fiber-to-the-home broadband connections because
the technology holds many advantages over current
technologies. Experts at the FTTH Council say fiber-
to-the-home connections are the only technology
with enough bandwidth to handle projected
consumer demands during the next decade reliably
and cost effectively. The technology is already,
affordable, as businesses around the world are
demonstrating by getting into the business as they
speculate on consumer demand FTTH broadband
connections also will allow consumers to "bundle"
their communications services. For instance, a
consumer could receive telephone, video, audio,
television and just about any other kind of digital
data stream using a simple FTTH broadband
connection. Such an arrangement would be more
cost effective and simpler than receiving those
services via different lines, as is often the case
today. Fibre to the Home (FTTH) is a unique
technology being deployed by Jio for the first time in
India. The fibre connectivity having unlimited
bandwidth and state of the art technology provides
fix access platform to deliver the high speed up to
100 Mbps, IPTV having different type of contents
like HDTV Time shift, Video on demand with android
Box and future coming 3D TV and range of voice
telephony services. It provides a comprehensive
solution for the IP leased line, internet, Closed User
Group (CUG), MPLS-VPN, VoIP, video
conferencing, video calls etc whatever the services
available on the internet platform, bandwidth on
demand can be delivered by this connectivity to the
without changing the access fibre and home device.
Customer will get a CPE called Home Optical
Network Termination (HONT) consist of 4X100 Mpbs
Ethernet ports and 2 normal telephone ports. Each
100 Mbps ports will provide broadband, IPTVs,
IPVideo call and leased line etc as required by the
customers. Customer will get power back unit having
full load backup of four hours and normal backup of
three days. This power backup will be AC input and
connecting to the HONT on 12V DC. Connectivity
via FTTH: Jio will extend fibre from its nearest
Central Office (CO) location directly or through
franchisee and install HONT and battery backup at
the customers identified locations. The services such
as Voice, Broadband, IPTV etc. will be enabled as
per the customer”s request plans for the same. Jio
has started Fibre to the Home (FTTH) in Delhi
,Noida Ghaziabad, Gurgaon, Faridabad Mumbai,
Bhiwari ,Kolkata, Ajmer, and, shortly going pan
India, now people can enjoy fibre at their home
having bandwidth speed they wished for. They can
realize the speed of Internet up to 100 Mbps,
Multiple IPTV connections, VoIPbased Telephone
service.
 History

Jio
Reliance Jio Infocomm Limited, d/b/a Jio, is an Indian
mobile network operator. Owned by Reliance
Industries and headquartered in Navi Mumbai,
Maharashtra, it operates a national LTE network with
coverage across all 22 telecom circles. Jio does not
offer 2G or 3G service, and instead uses voice over
LTE to provide voice service on its network.[3][4]

Jio soft launched on 27 December 2015 (the eve of

what would have been the 83rd birthday of Reliance
Industries founder Dhirubhai Ambani), with a beta for
partners and employees, and became publicly
available on 5 September 2016. As of 30th November
2018, it is the third largest mobile network operator in
India and the tenth largest mobile network operator in
the world with over 271.553 million subscribers.
On 5 July 2018, fixed line broadband service named
Gigafiber, was launched by the Reliance Industries
Limited's chairman Mukesh Ambani, during the
company's Annual General Meeting.

History of Jio: In June

2010, Reliance
Industries (RIL)
bought a 96% stake in
Infotel Broadband
Services Limited
(IBSL) for ₹4,800 crore (US$670 million). Although
unlisted, IBSL was the only company that won
broadband spectrum in all 22 circles in India in the 4G
auction that took place earlier that year. Later
continuing as RIL's telecom subsidiary, Infotel
Broadband Services Limited was renamed as Reliance
Jio Infocomm Limited (RJIL) in January 2013.

In June 2015, Jio announced that it would start its

operations all over the country by the end of 2015.[11]
However, four months later in October, the company's
spokesmen sent out a press release stating that the
launch was postponed to the first quarter of the
financial year 2016–2017.
Later in July, a PIL filed in the Supreme Court by an
NGO called the Centre for Public Interest Litigation,
through Prashant Bhushan, challenged the grant of
pan-India licence to Jio by the Government of India.
The PIL also alleged that Jio was allowed to provide
voice telephony along with its 4G data service, by
paying an additional fees of just ₹165.8 crore (US$23
million) which was arbitrary and unreasonable, and
contributed to a loss of ₹2,284.2 crore (US$320
million) to the exchequer

The Indian Department of Telecom (DoT), however,

refuted all of CAG's claims. In its statement, DoT
explained that the rules for 3G and BWA spectrum
didn't restrict BWA winners from providing voice
telephony. As a result, the PIL was revoked, and the
accusations were dismissed.
 About the Product

Technology behind Jio Gigafiber

Fiber to the x (FTTX) (also spelled Fibre to the x) or fiber in the loop is a generic
term for any broadband network architecture using optical fiber to provide all or
part of the local loop used for last mile telecommunications. As fiber optic cables
are able to carry much more data than copper cables, especially over long
distances, copper telephone networks built in the 20th century are being replaced
by fiber.
FTTX is a generalization for several configurations of fiber deployment, arranged
into two groups: FTTP/FTTH/FTTB (Fiber laid all the way to the
premises/home/building) and FTTC/N (fiber laid to the cabinet/node, with copper
wires completing the connection).
Residential areas already served by balanced pair distribution plant call for a
trade-off between cost and capacity. The closer the fiber head, the higher the cost
of construction and the higher the channel capacity. In places not served by
metallic facilities, little cost is saved by not running fiber to the home.
Fiber to the x is the key method used to drive next-generation access (NGA),
which describes a significant upgrade to the Broadband available by making a
step change in speed and quality of the service. This is typically thought of as
asymmetrical with a download speed of 24 Mbit/s plus and a fast upload speed.
The Definition of UK Superfast Next Generation Broadband[1] OFCOM have
defined NGA as in "Ofcom's March 2010 'Review of the wholesale local access
market" "Super-fast broadband is generally taken to mean broadband products
that provide a maximum download speed that is greater than 24 Mbit/s. This
threshold is commonly considered to be the maximum speed that can be
supported on current generation (copper-based) networks."
A similar network called a hybrid fiber-coaxial (HFC) network is used by cable
television operators but is usually not synonymous with "fiber In the loop",
although similar advanced services are provided by the HFC networks. Fixed
wireless and mobile wireless technologies such as Wi-Fi, WiMAX and 3GPP Long
Term Evolution (LTE) are an alternative for providing Internet access.

FTTX architectures vary with

Fiber Optic Broadband: The lines that deliver fibre broadband do

indeed consist of fibre optics - yes, exactly like those cool hippy lamps. The
cables involve tiny tubes, each about as thick as a human hair, that are reflective
on the inside. They transfer information by sending flashes of light through the
tubes, which bounce off the inner walls to travel along the cable. Equipment at
 the receiving end can then interpret the flashes as data.

Because the data is travelling at literally the speed of light, it means very fast
broadband speeds for you. Generally, you'll find fibre broadband available with
average speeds of 35Mb, 57Mb or 63Mb, though some providers can offer
packages with average speeds of 350Mb and above or even 1Gb (1,000Mb).

Fixed line broadband that isn't fibre optic is called ADSL (asymmetric digital
subscriber line). Data is instead sent through the traditional copper phone lines
all the way from the exchange, and it's usually available with average speeds of
17Mb.

Fibre-to-the-cabinet (FTTC) vs. fibre-to-the-home

(FTTH)
Fibre-to-the-cabinet (FTTC) is the most common setup for fibre broadband.
Fibre cables run from the exchange to the cabinet on your street, which then
connects to your home via the ol' copper phone line.

Fibre-to-the-home (FTTH), meanwhile, means the entire line is fibre from the
exchange all the way into your building. It allows for even faster speeds, but is
only available in precious few places - and can be very difficult and expensive
to install. BT offers FTTH connections in certain circumstances, and you'll
find packages available from niche providers too.

It can also be known as FTTP (fibre-to-the-premises) or FTTB (fibre-to-the-

building).
 Speed

Speed of Jio Giga fiber will be vary. Currently it is

from 1Mbps to 100 Mbps, In coming years it will
increase upto 1Gbps(Gigabits/s).

charges levied but there is a refundable security deposit of Rs.4,500
taken for the ONT device (GigaHub Home Gateway). This amount
needs to be paid through Debit card, Credit Card, Jio Money or Pay
TM.
 Competetors
Here are the fastest wired broadband providers in India. Most are Fibre to
the Home (FTTH) connections, but Airtel can offer 100 Mbps speeds over
copper cables. The tariffs have been updated for the month of March,
2017. According to data released by Trai, only 2,80,000 subscribers in
India have access to a high-speed fibre optic connection. The average
internet speed in India now stands at 4.1 Mbps, according to the
latest state of the Internet report. India has the lowest peak speeds in the
APAC region. These are the best connections available in India.

Airtel Broadband: Airtel offers 100 Mbps broadband in some

cities, but there is no easy way to find out which ones. You have to check
for availability in your city. At times, the plans are not displayed, and a form
for requesting a call back appears. Airtel has slashed
prices for its plans.

In Mumbai, a speed of 100 Mbps is offered with an

FUP of 500 GB for Rs 3,999 every month. Airtel
Broadband users can upgrade to the V-Fiber, the
first time vectorisation has been introduced in India.
Vectorisation is Europe's most used broadband
technology, and delivers higher bandwidth by reducing the interference in
the connection. The offer is available for users in Chennai as of now,
and Airtel V-Fiber is rolling out in 87 cities across the country. Airtel V-Fiber
is now available in Mumbai.
MTNL Fibre Thrill: MTNL is apparently offering a 10 Gbps plan for
Mumbai, but it is not a publicly listed plan. According to a reader who
queried about the plans, the service is available only to "good" customers
and costs lakhs. The Fibre Thrill plan offers a 100 Mbps line with an FUP of
500GB for a monthly tariff of Rs 6,999. These plans have been updated for
a promotional period that is to last till the end of December. The FUP quota
has been increased, and will be reverted at the start of the next year.

Hayai: Hayai has upgraded its capacity and now provides 10 Gb per
second broadband connectivity in Mumbai. The broadband is available in
certain pincodes in Mumbai satellite cities around Mumbai, including
Badlapur, Thane and Vasai. The plans are available on a monthly or yearly
basis. Hayai provides 10 Gbps connectivity in the most locations.
For Rs 19,999 a month, you get a practically unlimited, all you can
consume plan, without any free usage policy, with a connection speed of
10 Gbps. The plans are not truly unlimited to reduce chances of abuse,
such as running servers or enterprise services, or sharing the plan with
everyone in the neighborhood. This is not just about maintaining the
connection, but also about following regulations. Hayai has slashed the
pricing on its plans, and is offering additional 100 Mbps fixed usage plans.
Reliance Ultraband: Reliance Ultraband is available only in two addresses
in Mumbai. A speed of 1 gbps is offered. The locations are Seawoods
Estate in Navi Mumbai and Imperial Towers in Tardeo. The pricing for the
plans are also not available publicly. The 120 Mbps unlimited connection is
available for Rs 1,500 a month, and the 1 Gbps unlimited connection is
available for Rs 5,000 a month. There are no usage limits for both the
plans.
You Broadband: You Broadband offers 100 Mbps with an FUP of 250 GB
for Rs 1,572 per month. The service is available in some places in
Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Chennai, Gurgaon, Hyderabad, Kakinada,
Mumbai, Navi Mumbai, Thane, Navsari, Pune, Surat, Vadodara, Vijaywada
and Vishakapatnam. There are special plans for the Powai area in Mumbai.
The plans have been updated with more options, with an increase in FUP
limits, and a slight reduction in prices as well.

Act Fibrenet: Act Fibernet recently introduced a one Gbps plan for the
city of Hyderabad. All across Hyderabad, Act is providing 1 Gbps plans for
Rs 5,999 a month, with an FUP of 1 TB. Act is primarily active in south
India. The service has got a relaxation in FUP limits, while the pricing of the
plans have not changed. The service is available in only some areas of
Bengaluru, Chennai, Coimbatore, Eluru, Guntur, Hyderabad, Nellore,
Vijaywada and Vishakapatnam. Act is active in one North Indian city, Delhi.
The 100 Mbps plan has been renamed to Act Incredible from Act Cyclone.
Nextra FiberBolt: Nextra offers 100 Mbps starting at Rs 2,999 per month
with an FUP of 50 GB in some societies in Delhi, Faridabad, Ghaziabad,
Noida, Gurgaon and Greater Noida. The FUP limit has been increased to
50 GB from 30 GB. The add on packs have become costlier though.
Initially, add ons were available for additional 65 GB, 95 GB, 140 GB and
205 GB. This has been reduced significantly, with the highest tier add on
pack offering only 65 GB of additional data.
Den Boomband: Den Boomband is available in very select pincodes in
New Delhi, Gurgaon, Jodhpur and Kanpur. The 100 Mbps plans start from
Rs 3,500 per month. 100 Mbps with 100GB of FUP is available for Rs
5,500. There have been no changes in the high speed offerings by Den
Boomband, but the lower speed connections have seen an increase in
prices.

BSNL FiBro ULD: BSNL is also offering a 100 Mbps plans. The network is
perhaps the widest ranging, with 97 cities covered across India. The plans
are on the expensive side though, with the 100 Mbps connection offered
with an FUP of 600GB for a monthly rental of Rs 16,999. There have been
no changes in the broadband offerings by BSNL.
Spectranet Joy Unlimited: Spectranet offers 100 Mbps broadband in
some neighborhoods in Gurgaon under its Joy Unlimited plan. The plan
was initially available for only 1,799 per month, but is now available for Rs
1,849 after a slight price bump. It is however, still the cheapest 100 Mbps
fibre broadband plan available in the country as of now. The Joy Unlimited
plans are now called Joy Ultra plans.
Gigatel: Gigatel offers 100 Mbps plans in Delhi. Initially, The Lightning 100
plan was available for Rs 2,500 with a FUP limit of 40 GB. Now, a 100
Mbps connection is available for Rs 1,799, with an FUP limit of 100 GB.
There were plans available for a number of usage limits up to 250 GB, but
these have now been scrapped. There is an option for add on packs in
case the FUP limit is reached, and users still want high speed access. The
post FUP speed is 2 Mbps with unlimited downloads.
