The pandemic is still present among us. Contaminations and victims increase each day causing movement restrictions. However, a little slow-down has been observed in recent days. Such decrease could be whether due to respecting health protocols, or vaccination campaigns, even that these campaigns are struggling to become democratically generalized.

Nevertheless, the internet is still in constant demand during this pandemic period. We have even observed here and there certain disturbances in the quality of service on the Internet due to the slowness of browsing on the Internet. These disruptions have affected some companies whose business model is based on the internet and cloud solutions.

Therefore, as announced in the 35th issue, this issue will be mainly dedicated to FTTH (Fiber To The Home).

Now more than ever, telecommunications, including FTTH technology, have become vital for productive sectors during this pandemic. The deployment of FTTH, alongside other networks, is not only essential to ensure equal access to digital technology within large cities. But also, fiber optics could reduce the gap in the digital divide between urban agglomerations and rural areas.

In the future, fiber optics will be, in addition to 5G, at the heart of very high-speed networks. These infrastructures will be sought, on one hand, to generate economic growth and, on the other hand, to provide new services that will improve all aspects of our daily life.

However, the deployment of FTTH is challenging as public authorities, faced with territorial disparities, have to manage the installation of fiber optics even in areas with low financial profitability.

It is indisputable that the share of civil engineering is important in the development of FTTH networks. Thus, to better support the installation of fiber optic everywhere, several efforts must be coordinated. First of all, the territorial authorities are strongly advised to relax the procedures for granting authorizations. Then, telecom operators should be involved and share their infrastructures. Finally, countries should facilitate the scaling-up of fiber optics by encouraging fiscal measures. Concerning continents, our African continent needs enormous investments to follow the global trend and not to be left behind in the development of FTTH networks.

In this issue, you will find an excerpt from an interview conducted exclusively with Peter Schultz. Peter Schultz is one of the co-inventors of fiber optics in telecoms, along with Charles Kuen Kao. They are the first to establish the principle of information transmission over fiber optics.

To complete the study, the FTTH section brings the following articles:

-Towards an accelerated deployment of FTTH.

-FTTH and infrastructure sharing.

-FTTx networks.

In the telecom section, we bring you an article on 5G by Ahad Idrissi.

In the open forum, we bring you the article:

- “The search for unity is the engine of great physicists. »

And as always, other relevant readings are available in other sections, notably in "events" and "media library".
