The phrase FTTdp or Fiber to the Distribution Point has been mentioned frequently in the last few years. It is also referred to as ‘Fiber to the Curb/Kerb’ or FTTC/FTTK. It can be described as a hybrid of FTTP or Fibre-to-the-Premise as well as FTTN or Fibre-to-the-Node. Instead of taking fibre to a central node in a neighborhood, it is laid directly to a property’s kerb & the final connection from the kerb to your home is generally made with the existing copper phone line. Not only does this enable faster download speeds as well as better performance, but it also make it cheaper for you to get a direct fibre connection to your home or business.

It is the technology leading the NBN rollout, with nearly thousands of nodes being installed around the nation and it is how the people of Australia will get the NBN’s superfast broadband. It is designed to deliver fast data services to your place through a common network box, which is better known as a node. By 2018, it is expected that over 1.6 million businesses, as well as homes, will be receiving their NBN connection via FTTN technology. FTTN  is basically all about Nodes. With FTTN, the NBN fibre runs straight to a cabinet, better known as node, in your neighborhood. Then it connects the surrounding premises from the node using the existing copper network.  According to NBN’s chief network engineering officer, Peter Ryan, FTTN technology not only enables NBN Co to get premises on to the network quicker but also provides a simple upgrade path. “This is the real be...
