Fiber Optics

Overview

Fiber optic technology has become increasingly more popular in recent years, and is used primarily for real time data communications. Before fiber optics came along, the primary means of communicating data was in the form of electronic signals transmitted on copper wire, or electromagnetic radio waves that traveled through the air. Although these long proven technologies are effective and still widely used today, advancements in fiber optics has proven this technology to be a very reliable and appealing alternative to traditional means of data transmission.
