TE and 4iG to Construct New Subsea Cable

Internet is part of our everyday life since it was diffused a couple of decades ago. Things have been changing so much simplifying a lot of actions and even the world of employment relies on the internet for many aspects.

How Can Fiber Optic Take Your Navigation To The Next Level?

Oftentimes, we happen to have a very slow internet connection which is what makes us even give up navigating online. Depending on the weather condition or other factors, the traditional cabling may not be able to support your connection and, therefore, you can’t navigate at the same speed as usual.

Fiber optic can change your internet connection speed and take it just to the next level. How can it do it? Fiber optic has been designed to transfer impulses and data at a superior speed than traditional cabling by using flashlight impulses that get to the destination at light speed. Also, your connection will become more reliable than it actually can be (if you haven’t fiber optic cabling, yet) and the same goes for DSL.

There are several interesting and important benefits that you can get from using fiber optic cabling instead of the old copper cabling system. We want to show you the main advantages in this list of points below:

1. Rapid speed
   Let’s face it all – fiber optic for internet connection boasts a speed of 1 Gbps, which is 10-to-20 times faster than our traditional cables. We want to explain to you this aspect with a very easy example: let’s say that you want to download a 2-hour movie from the internet. If you have fiber optic cabling, only 40 seconds will be enough for you to complete the operation. But if you still have old cabling, you’ll need no less than 7 minutes. Can you see the difference?
2. More reliable
   Many times it happens while you are watching a movie or a football game. Just suddenly the image freezes on the screen. That’s because of a slow internet connection. As a rule of thumb, the traditional cables should be enough to stream a movie or a football match, but peaks of overloading can happen and when it happens, it all slows down. On the contrary, fiber optic can handle a large number of users and a bigger amount of data at the same time and without reducing the connection speed.
3. No throttling problems
   Electrical devices rely on the power of electrical energy. On certain days, when more people use their devices (for example, for cooling the home in summertime), the powerlines get overloaded because your neighbors are also using electrical devices as you are doing. The same thing happens with internet connection cables except for fiber optic, which doesn’t throttle as it’s less susceptible to overload peaks.
4. Speed maintains the same level
   One of the most common problems with a traditional internet connection is that you can download anything at a certain speed, but you can’t upload the same content on a different platform at that speed. In other words, you spent 3 minutes downloading a video and you need 10 to upload it. The bottom line is that fiber optic maintains your internet connection speed equal, no matter how many people are using the same connection, so you can download and upload content at the same speed.
5. Green technology
   Fiber optic is one of the best eco-friendly technologies. It doesn’t need the same amount of power as copper cables, so it helps saving energy and the environment from pollution. In a world with high levels of pollution, new green technology is always welcomed.
6. Healthier
   Fiber optic seems to be much healthier than other new technologies like the over debated 5G. Differently than 5G, fiber optic signals can’t go beyond the cables, so they are safe for human health.

The new technology of fiber optic is designed to make the world safer and provide users higher-level internet navigation to improve their experience.
