ONT (Optical Network Terminal)

An Optical Network Terminal (ONT) is a device that connects your home or business to the optical fiber internet service provided by your provider. It converts the high-speed light signals traveling through fiber optic cables into electrical signals your devices can use, such as Wi-Fi routers, computers, or phones. Essentially, the ONT acts as a translator, ensuring that the data sent over the fiber network is accessible locally. It is typically installed indoors or just outside your building and plays a critical role in delivering fast, reliable broadband internet.
