Fiber - SDH / SONET Networks

The rise of the Internet has created an insatiable demand for speed, content, and capacity.

Because yesterday's copper communications networks were not designed to handle that capacity, a data-capable Internet infrastructure was needed.

Worldwide fiber-optic networks are being built to sustain broadband communications on a global level. A fiber network, which spans 101,000 miles across 27 countries and five continents using a single network operations center in London serves Enterprise customers globally..

Wired and wireless technologies are converging. Wireless broadband combines cell, satellite, and fixed wireless technologies into the modern fiber-optic networks.

Network operators have begun deploying high-speed fiber-optic and cable networks in areas where Internet connectivity has yet to explode. This includes Latin America and Russia.

To help ensure future profitability, leading cable operators are exploring how best to deliver new revenue-generating services while lowering capital and operational expenses (CapEx and OpEx).

Many operators are looking to converged networks to improve efficiencies, especially when delivering new services and applications.

Terrestrial high-speed fiber optic network, long-haul submarine cables and telecommunications satellites provide the vital infrastructure that wires the communication world together.
