The new “non-FMCA” WiFi device for RVers?
Recall when business and residential areas were being dug up and “fiber” (fiber optic cabling) was being placed in the ground? Often, for residential services (and to save money), the carrier would install only Fiber To The Curb (FTTC) where the actual connection into the house employs the existing coaxial cable that was already in place (often called “the last mile” … even though it may only be a few yards). In my home’s case, power and communication lines are above ground, so I the installer went with Fiber To The Home (FTTH) with a box mounted outside my house at which the photons are converted to electrons for both data and cable-TV signals (and phone service, if needed). The amplifier makes the needed bi-directional conversion and requires DC power to do so, thus there is an associated AC transformer and power-supply. Sometimes in such home installations there is a battery providing “battery backup” that can power the “outside box” for up to 4 hours…allowing, for example, home phone service (still being call a “land line”) to function when grid power is temporarily down.
