Optical Fiber The scalable ultra-high-speed solution
Optical fiber is a very high-speed internet technology, meaning it enables your company to enjoy a very fast connection. Typically, the maximum downstream speed is 8 gigabytes per second (compared to 1 Gb/s for ADSL), and 600 Gb/s upstream (compared to 100 Gb/s for ADSL).
Why is optical fiber faster than ADSL?
Optical fibre is based on FTTH technology. This connects your business to the fibre end-to-end via an optical connection node. Your data is transmitted in the form of light.
The nature of the conductor also plays a decisive role. Glass and/or plastic wires make up the optical fibre. They conduct light very quickly, enabling a file of one gigabyte, for example, to be downloaded in just 27 seconds.
