Fibre-optic connectivity, often referred to as “fibre”, is a technology that allows the transmission of information over optical fibre networks at the speed of light.
This cutting-edge technology has revolutionised the way data can be delivered over telecommunication networks, offering low latency and ultra fast internet!
Fibre is either laid in ducts in trenches underground, or can also be strung overhead, using electricity pylons or telephone poles. Laying fibre can be expensive and time consuming but the resultant superior performance when compared with other technologies make it a compelling investment. Fibre optic networks are also not susceptible to adverse weather conditions, meaning they are super reliable too!
