Role Of Optic Fibre Solutions In The Development Of Indian Markets

- Diwakar Belavadi

Fibre Optics is a fascinating technology which enables communication by way of a connection that offers higher ‘Reliability’, ‘Speed’ and ‘Bandwidth’ than the wired cables. It is amazing to see that a transparent fibre drawn out of glass (silica) with a diameter slightly thicker than that of the human hair is the most widely used channel of communication connecting continents to meet the communication needs of billions of people in an efficient and reliable manner. Optical fibres are flexible and capable of being bundled into cables which allow them to be used in long-distance communications supporting lower levels of attenuation, higher speeds and, larger bandwidths. Optical fibre technology (OFT) has some definite advantages over copper wired systems. Optical fibre supports higher bandwidth, better signal strength, and symmetric speeds in transmission and eliminates latency issues in networks. OFT offers higher reliability & security in networks where deployed, supporting lower attenuation in transmission over long distances, being immune to electromagnetic interference (EMI) as optical fibre is an insulator, light in weight and requires less space for installation, better return on investments as it offers higher scalability in the networks, and many more features makes it one of the most preferred means of communication cutting across various business verticals across the globe.
