Technology evolves at a rapid-fire pace. That’s why we’ve built an easy-to-use glossary to help you better understand the terms, technologies and trends that impact your business.Multidwelling Unit (MDU)
A classification of housing where multiple separate housing units for residential (i.e., non-commercial) inhabitants are contained within one building or several buildings within one complex.
MDU fiber deployments involve installing fiber-optic networks in apartment buildings, condominiums, and other multi-tenant structures to deliver high-speed broadband to residents and businesses. Key considerations include planning efficient fiber layouts, managing installations within existing structures, and ensuring future scalability to meet growing bandwidth demands.
These deployments can be challenging, requiring specialized tools to handle complex installations, live and dark fiber testing, and troubleshooting in densely populated environments.
