About The Fiber Optic Association Guide To Fiber
The Fiber Optic Association Guide To Fiber Broadband – How Fiber Optics Revolutionized Communications And Made Broadband Possible In less than half a century, fiber optics has revolutionized communications and to a large extent, society in general. Broadband, what many today call high speed Internet access, has become a necessity for everyone, not a luxury. The technology that makes broadband possible is fiber optics, connecting the continents, cities, and just about everybody. Even fiber to the home (FTTH) brings broadband to hundreds of millions worldwide. How did we get from an era when communications was making a telephone call or sending a telegram to today’s world where every piece of information – and misinformation – is available at the click of a mouse or touch on a screen? How did we get from a time when a phone was connected on copper wires to being able to connect practically anywhere on a handheld device with more computing power than was available to scientists and engineers only decades ago? How does all this broadband work? Without fiber optics it would not work. The Fiber Optic Association, the international professional association of fiber optics, has been an active participant in the development of fiber broadband. The Fiber Optic Association has consulted with those developing fiber broadband and helped educate and certify the fiber optic technicians who built fiber broadband networks. This book will share what the Fiber Optic Association knows about fiber broadband, It will explain not only how fiber broadband works, but how the technology fiber broadband is built upon was developed. It is intended to be an introduction to communications technology appropriate for a communications course in junior high, high school or college or for anyone who just wonders how all this stuff works.
