On the Integration of SEME Solutions in the FTTR Vision

Fiber-to-the-Room (FTTR) is an innovative in-premise networking solution based on optical fiber communication offering gigabit speeds, high reliability, and low latency throughout the entire space. However, deploying optical fiber is not always straightforward, particularly in older or historical buildings. This work proposes integrating the Smart Electromagnetic Environment (SEME) paradigm with the FTTR framework to enhance wireless coverage and address such indoor Wi-Fi deployment challenges.
