Igama elipheleleyo le-BOB yi-BOSA eBhodini. I-BOB isisombululo sobugcisa kunye nenkqubo yokuvelisa "yokuphula yonke into ibe ngamacandelo". Isisombululo se-BOB senza ukuba ibhodi yesekethe idizayini yee-terminals zasekhaya iguquguquke, inceda ukunciphisa umthamo we-terminal, kwaye iququzelele ukufakwa kwekhaya kunye nokubekwa. Ngophuhliso olukhawulezayo lweenethiwekhi zolwazi lwasekhaya, imfuno yabantu yesantya sothungelwano iyanda, kwaye ukuvela kobuchwepheshe be-BOB kunika isisombululo esihle sophuhliso lwe-fiber optic network access technology. Emva kokwamkela iteknoloji ye-BOB, i-Optical Cat ihluke kwi-Optical Cat yendabuko kwindlela yokupakisha yeemodyuli ze-optical. Iimodyuli ze-optical zifakwe ngokuthe ngqo kwiI-ONUibhodi, lula isakhiwo imveliso, ukunciphisa iindleko imveliso, kunye nokuphucula umgangatho imveliso.
Ukusetyenziswa kobuchwephesha be-BOB kuyanda namhlanje, okunokuphucula ukuxinana kokuhlanganiswa kwenkqubo ngaphandle kokunyuswa kweendleko ezininzi, okuzisa umfutho omkhulu wokwandisa umthamo kunye nokunciphisa iindleko zeenkqubo zokunxibelelana kwe-optical. Ngokusetyenziswa ngokubanzi kweteknoloji ye-BOB kwi-EPON/GPONI-ONUiitheminali zesixhobo, ngokusisiseko ithathe indawo yeskim semodyuli ye-optical ezimeleyo, ibe luphawu olubalulekileyo lophuhliso olukhawulezayo kunye nobeko oluqolileyo olukhulu lweetheminali zeFTTH.
