New study results released by the Fiber to the Home (FTTH) Council found that fast and reliable fiber broadband increases both rental and property values in multiple dwelling units (MDUs). According to this survey, the availability of broadband service increases rental values by 8 percent and property values in MDUs by 2.8 percent.
The study by RVA Market Research & Consulting estimates that fiber can add 11 percent to net income for MDU owners and operators per average dwelling unit. In the results, MDU residents also rated fast and reliable broadband as the single most important amenity.

The physical characteristics of high-quality, silica optical fiber make it a natural choice for a broad range of uses, including many in the medical industry. For example, fiber can provide a very compact, flexible conduit for light or data delivery in equipment, surgical and instrumentation applications.
However, users must carefully choose the right optical fiber to avoid delays in product design and launch, along with increased development costs. A recent Medical Design Briefs article by OFS’ Jaehan Kim and Jonathan Loft explores the wide array of fibers available for this market. To access this article, please go HERE.
