 Fiber Optics in Communication

The world communicates on fiber optics. Fiber has become the communications medium of choice for
telephones, cell phones, CATV, LAN backbones, security cameras, industrial networks, just about every thing.
Hundred of submarine cables connect the world for data, voice and video.

Access network

• An access network (AN) is an implementation system that consists of a series of transport entities (such as line facilities and
transmission facilities) between the service node interface (SNI) and the related user network interface (UNI). The access
network provides required bearer capability for providing telecommunication services.

 Last-mile Solution
- Traditional "last-mile" solution:
• Digital subscriber line (xDSL)
• Fiber coaxial cable hybrid network (HFC)
• Power Line Communication (PLC);
• Wireless broadband solution (GPRS/EDGE, CDMA, PHS)
• Satellite data transmission

- New trend of the "last mile" solution:

• Fiber access, Fiber-To-The-x (FTTx), G.fast
• 3G, LTE/4G, and 5G technologies
