FibreOptics Networks By Tim Yetman
What is Fibreoptic? • Fibreoptic is a device that consists of a bundle of glass threads which translates messages by using light waves.
Why Do we Use this Network? • It is much more fast and efficient. • The glass fibers make it impossible to be destroyed by corrosion and very hard to be interfered with by electricity and grounding because they are not copper. • Can carry larger amounts of information longer distances. • Much safer (no electricity).
How does This Technology work? • The glass threads in the cable transmit light, not electricity. • The threads are extremely transparent and can transmit light for miles. • The light is transmitted by a single laser that can turn on and off billons of times per second, in a Morse code-like fashion.
Who provides this service? • Many internet and phone providers now have this technology and is increasing in popularity. • Here, most people would go to bell to get fibre op installed.
Cost • If you purchase a bundle from bell the cost ranges from 135$/month-175$/month. • It is free to get installed.
End. • Having a fibre op network is a great choice for a family that is always using the internet and constantly downloading files.
