Fiber-optic communications are transforming regional and global commerce
Fiber-optic communications were first developed in the 1970s and have since transformed the communications industry, especially since the advent of the Internet.
Fiber optic cables use light waves to transmit large amounts of data over long distances. Each cable consists of a bundle of glass or plastic wires that communicate information through pulses of light.
Network providers are increasingly replacing old copper power lines with advanced fibre-optic cables. This is because fiber optic cables have the following advantages, including high bandwidth, massive data capacity, minimal interference, thin and light, and digital transmission capability.
Fiber optic communication has also had a huge impact on enterprises. Faster speeds mean more data can be transferred in less time. Residential network operators can now offer their customers faster downloads, instant video chat, and a host of high-definition entertainment services.
Similarly, business users can more easily manage large databases and keep in touch with domestic and international partners. Fiber-optic communication technology has boosted almost every industry.
For example, an existing multimillion-dollar project connecting the Panhandle of West Virginia via fiber-optic cables is bringing several economic changes to the region. Sensors, asset management, asset tracking and climate innovation are all tools companies need to drive their products locally. The Wilton Regional Port Authority is using the project to completely revitalize the Ohio Valley as a regional transportation hub.
As the population grows amid fierce competition, keeping up with technological developments is more important than ever. Fiber-optic communications represent new business opportunities and provide tools for existing companies to connect globally.
