3. Advantages of fiber optics Optical fibers are ideally suited for
carrying digital information, which is especially useful in computer
networks; this allows more phone lines to go over the same cable through
the cable into your business or home. These advantages, you see fiber
optics in many industries, most notably telecommunications and computer
networks. For example, if you telephone Europe from the United States
and the signal is bounced off a communications satellite, you often hear
an echo on the line. But with transatlantic fiber-optic cables, you have a

1. The Internet of the future needs fiber optics technology. Now
days a recent studies asseverate in the next two years internet traffic will
increase fifty-fold.
Fiber optics can meet bandwidth demands of proposed software
applications. In the present software applications like in the
smartphones or 3D virtual word application for computers, has a high
demand of faster connection speeds.

2. Fiber optics will be the standard medium in the future.

Everyday increase the costumers that use the world wide with fiber-to-the-
