fiber optic network
Glass strand communications
A fiber optic network transmits data as pulses of light through thin glass or plastic strands rather than electrical signals through copper wire.
These networks form the backbone of modern telecommunications, carrying internet traffic, phone calls, and cable television at extremely high speeds over long distances.
The city is installing a fiber optic network downtown.
