In mobile broadband services, mobile companies typically provide optical modems instead of routers. Guangmao is an optical modem used to convert optical signals transmitted through optical fibers into electrical signals, so that user devices (such as computers, televisions, etc.) can receive and process these signals. It is an essential device for broadband access, used to connect fiber to the home and broadband networks.
A router is a network device used to connect multiple networks or network segments, enabling data exchange and communication between networks. In households, routers are typically used to distribute broadband network signals to devices in various rooms, enabling wireless or wired network connections. However, routers are not a standard configuration for mobile broadband services, and users usually need to purchase and set them up according to their own needs.
When handling mobile broadband services, the mobile company will provide users with an optical modem and install it in their homes to connect the fiber optic network to their home network. If users have higher requirements for the network, such as wireless connection or connecting multiple devices, they need to purchase a router themselves and connect it with optical modem to achieve more flexible and convenient network connection.
