Global Optical Network Hardware Market Overview:
An optical network links computer (or any other system that can produce or store data in electronic form) through optical fibres, which are made up of very thin glass cylinders or filaments that hold light signals (optical signals). Fiber optics has evolved into the foundation of our telecommunications and computer networking infrastructures. Optical fibre is the ideal method of data delivery for any data rate greater than a few tens of megabits per second and over distances greater than a kilometre. The first generation of fibre optic networks mostly used optical fibre as a substitute for copper cable for higher bit rate communication over longer distances. The second generation of fibre optic networks is only starting to emerge; these networks use fiber's ability to reach total bandwidth speeds ranging from tens of gigabits per second to terabits per second. Furthermore, they make use of signal routing and switching in the optical domain. The exponential evolution of technology, along with an insatiable appetite for bandwidth, is causing a rapid transformation of these networks from research labs to the marketplace.
