Fiber Optical Networking and Transport Solutions

Infinity Technology Solutions helps you deploy your optical network more efficiently, optimizing performance and supporting a range of innovative services. Our fiber optical networking solutions enable our SP and Enterprise customers to construct programmable, responsive, and efficient networks, maximizing the natural synergies between IP routing and optical transport.

We understand the benefit of constructing fiber optic networks that automate and integrate IP routing and transport functions to enhance the end-user experience and help businesses reach their goals.

What Are the Benefits of
Fiber Optic Cable?

Infinity Technology Solutions excels in the deployment of fiber optics in its near limitless information-carrying capabilities and sustainability. First used in 1977 when General Telephone and Electronics sent live telephone traffic through fiber optic cable, when it comes to transport, most of our Service Providers and Enterprise customers are looking at the tradeoff between fiber optics and copper.

In discussing the benefits of fiber cable over copper, it often comes down to initial cost vs. information capacity and energy savings. At first, fiber was more expensive than copper, which has traditionally meant that it was used for long-haul transmission and crowded urban networking functions.

But as you will see, innovations in optical technology have made it more readily deployable in residential applications and to connect data centers.

Data Transmission Rate for Fiber Optic Cable

One of the biggest reasons that fiber has grown in popularity is the immense data transmission rate of fiber optic cable over copper and radio spectrum. Optical fibers are long strands of specially created glass filaments that transmit light over long distances.

Transmission is accomplished using lasers that deliver pulses of light through glass, with each pulse representing either a “one” or “zero” — the binary coding that enables all modern communications, applications, and connectivity.

Beginning in the mid-1990s, researchers at Nokia Bell Labs discovered a method for transmitting multiple colors or wavelengths of light through a single glass fiber strand in a process known as wave division multiplexing (WDM). With this innovation, a single fiber could carry multiple channels in both directions in different colors. Later, dense WDM (DWDM) enabled the transmission 40x or 80x the information or data along as single fiber compared to copper.

These data transmission rates for fiber optic cable created order to magnitude efficiencies in optics that made them less expensive than copper over virtually all distances.

Since the 1980s, Passive Optical Networks (PON) have been used to deliver residential and commercial broadband access using WDM technologies. Then in the 1990s, fiber optics became increasingly used in enterprise local area networks (LANs) to connect Ethernet switches and IP routers. Since then, fiber optics using DWDM technologies have come to dominate in long-haul and urban transport networks where internet traffic is especially high.

Massive Scaling of Optical Networks

Over the last few decades, fiber optics has witnessed even greater scaling in data transmission speeds thanks to coherent transmission techniques. By leveraging the technology of digital signal processors (DSPs) with application phase modulation techniques, and applying them to optical signal processing, coherent technology has achieved a 100x increase in wavelength speed.

As optical transmission technologies such as DSPs and phase modulation have progressed, the optical components that transmit and detect light, such as lasers and detectors, have also been miniaturized into small, low-power, pluggable devices.

Given the growth in low-power plug-ins and data capacity technologies for fiber, the massive scaling of fiber lines has made them affordable enough to be deployed in a wide number of use cases. Not only have they become the gold standard for urban/metro and long-haul transmission, but they have and are quickly replacing copper cabling everywhere: from data center LAN to last mile access to short- and medium-haul applications.
