Fiber Optics Creating Possibilities

World is advancing and there is a need to make wireless environment for the humans that are going to prevail. Maybe we ourselves are those humans because we’ve already started working on that. But why are wires still here? As far as that is concerned WiFi was first introduced in 1991 and it’s been more than 2 decades. Well, yes! It has been very effective but then again we have to ask ourselves a question. Has it eliminated the cables entirely? Or are we still using them? The answer to that is quite complex the wires, the cables and everything else that looks like a cable has actually laid a foundation of the connectivity era. Fiber optics on the other hand is more interesting it’s fascinating really to find out that the technique has been there since 1790’s. Optical fiber is transparent fibre made by silica. Fiber optic communication on the other hand is a mode of communication that involves the use of such technique. Only difference is that the information in this is sent from one end of the fiber to the other in form of a light. And if we just go back to our days in the high school which is the fastest travelling matter in the universe? Yes! That’s correct. It’s light. But since it’s very fast nothing gets quicker than light itself. These cables have been very effective in replacing the one’s that use copper. It’s efficient in transferring phone signals, internet signals and even the TV signals. The cable obviously has two ends the information is transmitted from one end to the other. And the principle is simple the information is converted into a light signal and is transmitted within the cable if it is not interrupted anywhere, which is confirmed. The information is later converted into an electrical signal and is received. Like mentioned earlier the optical fiber cables are replacing the rest very quickly but still there is going to be some time for them to be replaced entirely. What we can see as a worthy opponent in way for fiber is the wireless connectivity itself. WiFi is that opponent that can’t be ignored. But then again even some vast and quick wireless networks are connected together with help of the cables. The technology although has been around for quite some time. Yet it’s being treated as new and is accepted on a huge scale. But unlike other cables these are meant to be handled with caution. And countries are actually putting in effort to make these sorts of cables take over and try to put in more resources so that they can enhance the speed of connectivity. The top 5 countries with the fasted internet speed in the world listed Latvia, South Korea, Romania, Japan and Hong Kong, all have their networks reinforced by these cables. And in the near future if we get a chance to see cables, there’s a possibility that those cables are not going to be regular copper.
