Lately there has been a "fuss" around optical fibers. But what is their use, apart from fast internet? In what areas can this technology be used and exploited?

Optic fibers they are very fine threads through which digital media in the form of light is propagated. As an idea and implementation they help telecommunications and contribute to better performance and data transfer.


If, for example, we want to simultaneously transmit many telephone calls, broadcasts of television channels and connections of telecommunication systems either on the ground or under the sea over long distances, replacing coaxial cables, satellites and links, then we are talking about optical fibers, which is an innovative idea.


There are several applications of fiber optics that help in science, military and communication, industry, and road network - something that is not widely known.


Above you will find Some things you didn't know about fiber optics



Fiber optics in science

Science: As far as medicine is concerned, optical fibers, by common name in this case "laser", are used in operations, physiotherapy, cauterization of organs, etc. In other words, there is the possibility of transferring a light beam of optical fibers or "laser" that starts from the doctor's handle and they are used in endoscopies, giving the possibility for a wider picture of the internal organs of the human body. This fiber optic pair application helps the science in the visualization of internal organs, which is very important for science and its development.

Army: The use of optical fibers in military communication is long as they are used, in addition to telecommunications systems in weapon systems, in sensors, radars, in unmanned vehicles and more.

Industry: Optical fibers play an important role in industry and its control systems. The light weight of optical fibers, as well as the lower susceptibility to electromagnetic interference, is what makes it suitable as a replacement for heavy copper cables.

Road network: Surveillance on highways and tunnels would be nil if it were not for optical fibers which allow us to have a visual image transmitted through optical fibers to a control center in data form. Convoluted distances mostly on major highways make fiber optics the best choice.






As we understand, optical fibers have been in our lives and everyday life for a long time and sometimes they are a lifesaver for our health. The applications of optical fibers certainly do not stop there and as the years pass, they will increase. But when we are dealing with professional spaces such as hotels and accommodations, then optical fiber is the means to change the overall experience and satisfaction of the guests.

Now guests can't imagine their holidays without internet, something that applies to a greater extent to business guests who may have to work remotely. Whether it is a new business or a renovation of an existing one, it is important to invest in identifying and studying the potential of the building and installing a properly structured cable system, as well as evolving them, so that it meets all needs.
