Huawei Fast Access Terminal (FAT)
How are glass fibres distributed from the big cable to the homes? A distribution box is needed. Huawei’s Fast Access Terminal is unlike any other. It is smaller, has a tapered shape and comes with many intelligent features. Like solutions for hinges, mounting bracket, internal trays and new optical connectors that are easier and quicker to install. The connectors are angled and positioned on a tilted bottom, making them more user-friendly and accessible. They clearly communicate when not tightened correctly. The design includes QR codes on the connectors, enabling an AR-app for intelligent installation and servicing.
