Have you heard of Fiber optics? Chances are you have as they have been changing the telecommunications world since the 1980s. Fiber optics have become the darling of the telecommunications world as these fiber networks are cheaper to install and they provide greater communications capacity. Greater capacity means more users per segment of network and more speed for those users. Long gone are the days of copper and coaxial cables.
So what does this mean for you, what are the advantages that you will notice in your life? Because fiber optics operate with the use of light there is little to no degradation of the signals quality. Without fiber optics we would not have HD TV and pay per view entertainments as well.
Because light travels very fast this allows for a quick data transfer, there is no speed faster than light speed. Because of this fiber optics are perfectly suited to phone communications. When the telecommunications world first implemented fiber optics the use was for phone calls, this makes sense as the call speed is fast and this technology allows for crystal clear calls. The speed of a fiber optic call is nice as there isn
