Fibre Systems speaks to a lead design engineer and a fibre planner to find out about the day-to-day challenges they face on the front line
Ray O’Connor argues that wireless and fibre should be considered complementary, rather than in competition
The optical fiber network infrastructures installed today will typically see four generations of transmission systems over the network’s expected lifetime. As recent history has shown, the amount of data traffic these networks will carry will increase dramatically and continuously.
In order to cope with this increasing growth and anticipate the networks of tomorrow, a completely open spectral transmission window from 1260nm to 1625nm for data transmission and up to 1650nm for network monitoring is necessary in optical fiber cables.
