PSU BSNL launched Fibre to the Home (FTTH) based triple play services in Hyderabad.

BSNL Hyderabad will now take bulk orders from companies to install customer premises equipment.

"The service relies on a self-healing network, meaning which, even if the optical fibre is damaged, information will be re-routed through another line," said Rajeev Agarwal, Principal General Manager, HTD, BSNL.

The services will also support enterprise applications and features such as LAN, VoIP and video conferencing.

The network for the FTTH has been built on the Gigabyte Passive Optical Technology (GPON) concept.

"Instead of installing copper lines for new apartments, we can install FTTH where ever it is feasible. If there is a demand for FTTH in the existing buildings, we will definitely replace the existing copper wire network with FTTH," added Mr. Agarwal.
