Fiber optic technology has significant advantages over RF & MW. It is in demand & growing because of its capacity to offer high Bandwidth, high data rate transfer and low cost of cable production.
Lower cost of mobile handsets has created a eco system where higher data rate demand is increasing day by day. Social Networking Sites, various day to day activities applications – banking, learning, travel planning, video calling etc are available on mobile handset & very much popular. This is leading to always ON- Always connected life style. Hence creating data load on mobile network. This is a challenge for all mobile operators – service providers to keep networkup and enough efficient to handle high data traffic. Hence it is necessary to adopt a technology which support faster data transfer and lead to better quality experience. This is possible with Optical Fiber technology. This helps to retain them subscribers (lower churn) and increase revenue.
