Optical Communication Networks

Optical Communication Networks use light to transmit data over long distances, primarily through fiber optic cables. These cables contain thin strands of glass or plastic that carry signals as pulses of light, enabling high-speed and high-capacity communication. This technology forms the backbone of the internet, allowing for faster and more reliable connections compared to traditional copper cables. Optical networks are essential for transmitting phone calls, internet data, and video streaming, making them vital for modern communication infrastructure. Their ability to send large amounts of information quickly makes them key to our increasingly digital world.
