What is fiber: history Fiber optics is a technology that allows you to transmit large amounts of data at high speed. Born in the seventies for decorative purposes, today it represents one of the most used systems to guarantee fast and efficient connections. On the other hand, it is no coincidence that optical fiber is slowly replacing traditional copper cables. Today it constitutes the infrastructure through which
more than 80% of Internet information, television images and telephone conversations travel around the world. The first fiber was born in 1956 in the medical field, used for the construction of a gastro scope. In this case, however, the data could only travel short distances due to the poor purity of the materials, a problem that was highlighted by the scientist Charles Kao in 1966.
Thus it was that the American company Corning Glass accepted the scholar's challenge and in 1970 producing the first optical fiber made of an extremely pure glass capable of carrying light energy over long distances and with a signal carrying capacity 65,000 times greater than copper. Since then, research has never stopped and technology has undergone continuous and constant evolution.
Italy: Sonicatel's offer To date, the fiber network is widespread over most of the national territory and the growth trend of our country in this sector is among the first in Europe. Not only that, there are now many operators who provide ultra-fast connections with optical fiber, very convenient packages aimed at both companies and individuals. We at Sonicatel,
for example, offer "FiberSonica", a fiber optic connection designed to meet navigation needs both at home and at work. The package provides up to 1 gigabyte in download at a speed of up to 300 Mbps, while the technology used is FTTH.
