· 0 comments

All eyes are on Etisalat and UAE fiber optic market now virtually, we can say, since Etisalat has announced for a massive roll out of fiber to the home services. Now we hear from Zhone Technologies Inc, one of the leaders in multi-service access solution, that they have been selected by Etisalat for the FTTx network going on in the emirates of UAE.

France’s commission on “Grand emprunt” national bond issue recommends for an investment of 4 million euros in digital economy. The commission is eyeing on the country’s transition to ultra high speed digital services. The commission also recommends for a new agency to support development of fiber optic network in France. Hope this will boost up the optical fiber network projects throughout the country.

Reports say Swiss Government is pleased with the development of optical fiber based access network solutions in the country. In a recently held discussion on the development of fiber to the home progress in Switzerland, they concluded that compared to many other countries, Switzerland has made intensive effort in FTTH and under the guidance of federal communications commission, known as ComCom, telecom service providers have agreed for a coordinated effort on fiber optic network developments in Switzerland.

UCC, Uganda communications commission has decided to fix the price for cross-network by next week. Uganda’s telecommunication sector is one of the fastest growing and dynamic telecom markets in Africa. The cost of internet is also high in Uganda even with the arrival of submarine fiber optic cables to Uganda.

Fiber Optics is Green!

Developed in the 1970s communication systems using optical fibers has revolutionized the telecommunications industry and have been played a leading role in the formation of New Technical Age. Fiber Optic communication is a method of transmitting information from one place to another by sending pulses of light through an optical fiber.

Fiber optics is the leading technology in the field of communication. Fiber has reached to the home finally by realizing the expectations for an unlimited bandwidth. Optical fibers still have unutilized potential for digital transmission. Learn fiber optics will give an edge and keep us updated with the technology. Watching demos, videos and reading more from internet is the cost effective option to learn about Optical fiber technology.

The fiber optic technology uses the light which forms an electromagnetic carrier wave. This will be modulated to carry information.. Optical fibers have clear advantages over other electrical transmission mediums. Optical fibers have largely replaced copper wire communications in core networks in the developed world and have been making inroads to the developing countries as well.

The communication process using fiber optics involves the following steps: Creation of the optical signal using a transmitter, relaying the signal along the Optical fiber, make sure that the optical signals do not get weakened, receiving the optical signal, and converting it into an electrical signal.

Optical fibers are eco-friendly and Fiber optic technology is Green!
Free download ITU-T specifications
Most of us search in the internet for international specifications for optical fibers, fiber optic cables and fiber optic technology based communication systems such as ITU-T, IEC, EIA/TIA, Bellcore, IEEE etc. Most of the international specifications are not free.

It must be a kind service from ITU-T that they provide most of the specifications free and anybody can download unlimited number of times! One of the most wanted ITU-T specification is ITU-T recommendation G.657A, which is for Bend Insensitive optical fiber. There are many useful recommendations and test methods from ITU-T, which the whole fiber optic industry use as a standard. Please find the links below and download the ITU-T recommedations free!
