What uses for fiber optics?


The major advantage of fiber optics is to allow users to benefit from new services, which require high data rates as ADSL2 + or cable can not provide today. Examples of uses promoted by the optical fiber:

*Download HD movies and music in an instant
*enjoy a virtually instantaneous response time for online games
*Work from home and send attachments and large files in seconds
*Watch high definition TV, download videos, send photos, share content, play online games: everything is accessible simultaneously without constraints (multipurpose)
*Realising the full potential of HD, with a total fluidity of images (without compression or pixelating) and a 5.1 lens (HD +)
*simultaneously take advantage of all multimedia applications, without affecting the reception of the image (multi-room and multi-tv).

Recall that high definition television (HDTV) requires ten Mbit / s bandwidth to be distributed in good conditions.

FTTH will thus provide a home for enough flow that HDTV is transmitted on multiple TV sets simultaneously.The exchange of digital streams multimedia such as videos or photos, and home automation could develop through the optical fiber.This technology enables concrete to remove barriers to flow as xDSL imposed in recent years.

The optical fiber is, moreover, a leading support to foster the development of content in relief and 3D TV.The first 3D channels started to broadcast event-Programs (concert, sports ...) and the first 3D video on demand emerge. 3D TV is consuming bandwidth and high speed broadband networks are perfect for ensuring an optimal experience for viewers.
