FTTB (Fiber to the Business)
A fiber-optic connection that reaches directly to a business location.What is FTTB?
FTTB, or Fiber to the Business, is a type of fiber-optic internet delivery method where fiber is run directly to a commercial building. It’s designed to provide high-speed, high-capacity connections that meet the demands of modern businesses.
How FTTB Works
In an FTTB setup, a fiber-optic line runs to a central point in a business building (such as a server room or equipment closet). From there, the internet is distributed to individual offices or units using Ethernet, coaxial, or other in-building wiring. It supports both shared and dedicated fiber services depending on the provider.
Benefits for Businesses
- Symmetrical speeds for video conferencing, uploads, and cloud operations
- Lower latency for smooth voice and data services
- Higher reliability and uptime guarantees (especially with SLAs)
- Scalability to handle growth, remote workers, or hosted apps
- Ideal for VoIP systems, cloud storage, and data-heavy applications

Can FTTB support multiple businesses in one building
Absolutely. Many commercial buildings use FTTB to provide high-speed internet to multiple tenants through shared or dedicated connections.
Is FTTB available in all commercial areas?
FTTB is widely available in business districts and urban areas, but availability may be limited in rural or older buildings without fiber infrastructure.
What kind of internet speed can FTTB offer?
FTTB plans typically range from 100 Mbps to 10 Gbps or more, depending on the provider and the business’s needs.
