Fiber Optic Training and Consulting
In recent years, hollow core fiber (HCF) has moved from academic curiosity to serious industry discussion, driven largely by the growing demand for ultra-low latency networks. The most visible early applications have been in high-frequency trading (HFT), where microseconds translate directly into financial advantage. This...
Modern data centers are under constant pressure to scale bandwidth, reduce latency, and support the explosive growth of AI, machine learning, and cloud applications. At the heart of this evolution are modular pluggable optical transceivers, which convert high-speed electrical signals from switches, routers, and accelerators...
As data center link speeds advance to 800G and 1.6T, the historical cost and architectural advantages of multimode fiber (MMF) are being reexamined. At lower speeds, VCSEL-based SR optics offered a clear transceiver cost advantage over single-mode fiber (SMF) solutions. At 800 Gb/s, however, that...
Whether you’re new to fiber optics or a seasoned professional, it’s always helpful to check your understanding of the core concepts that shape modern optical networks. Our newly developed Fiber Optic Quiz is designed exactly for that purpose—helping anyone in the field gauge their level...
As home Internet access speeds rise from 1 Gb/s to 10 Gb/s and beyond, the demand on home Wi-Fi networks is increasing faster than ever. Fiber-to-the-home providers now advertise multi-gigabit plans, and gaming consoles, smart TVs, laptops, and VR headsets all need to share that...
Quantum Key Distribution over Optical Communication Networks Modern cybersecurity relies heavily on keeping digital information safe as it moves across the internet. Classical cryptography achieves this by using mathematical keys to encrypt and decrypt messages. One of the most widely used systems today is RSA encryption,...
Free Space Optics: A Critical Technology for Space and Terrestrial Communications Free Space Optics (FSO), also known as optical wireless communication, is a method of transmitting data using light propagating through open space rather than through fiber-optic cables. Although the concept has existed for decades, advances...
Is AI in a Bubble? Exploring Real-World Impact in Optical Networking The conversation around artificial intelligence (AI) is buzzing. Headlines often ask: Is AI in a bubble? Investors and industry insiders wonder whether today’s surge in AI hype and investment is sustainable, or if a market...
Starlink’s $17 Billion Spectrum Play: Can SpaceX Really Disrupt Telecommunications? SpaceX is making waves in the telecom world with a bold move that could change how we connect to the internet and our phones. By investing $17 billion in wireless spectrum, the company behind Starlink is...
Beneath the Waves: How Undersea Fiber Optic Cables Keep the World Connected In today’s hyper-connected digital world, it’s easy to imagine the internet as a cloud of invisible signals transmitted wirelessly through the air. Yet, the reality is far more remarkable — the majority of our...
