Optical Network

An optical network is a communication system that uses light to transmit data, primarily through fiber optic cables. These cables contain thin strands of glass or plastic that carry light signals over long distances, enabling high-speed internet, telecommunications, and television services. The light pulses represent data, allowing large amounts of information to travel quickly and efficiently. Optical networks are favored for their speed and reliability, especially in scenarios requiring high bandwidth, like streaming and online gaming. Their ability to transmit data over vast distances without significant signal loss makes them essential for modern communication.
