Over three decades ago, when optical communication was commercially adopted, it relied on two main technologies: wireless Free Space Optical (FSO) transmission and fiber optic technology, which used physical wires. Since the 1990s, optical fiber technology has seen significant advancements in distance, bandwidth, speed, reliability, and other improvements that have contributed to its widespread adoption.

Free Space Optical (FSO) communication has come a long way! Here we look at the revolutionary advancements in FSO technology by OFS and Furukawa Electric, including state-of-the-art fibre solutions like the VLMA Erbium-Doped Fibre Amplifier Module, Raman Fibre Laser Module, and Erbium-Ytterbium Optical Fibre. Stay ahead in the future of high-speed, secure, and efficient data transmission.

YOFC’s recent field trials with major telecom operators in China have set new global benchmarks for data transmission speed, capacity, and latency reduction. Hollow core fibre has significant potential to shape the next generation of fibre transmission in the era of artificial intelligence and high-performance computing.

Discover the advancements in hollow core fibre technology and the FITEL S185 series splicers, enabling ultra-fast, low-latency data transmission with precise splicing solutions.The FITEL S185 Series of Fusion Splicers marks a big step forward in specialty fibre splicing tech. These high-end tools handle a broad range of industry jobs, from basic fibres to tricky polarisation-maintaining and large-diameter fibres. In this post, we'll look at the features all models share, what makes each one special, and how different industries put them to work.

Discover how Hollow Core Fibre technology is revolutionizing global communications by enabling faster data transmission through air, with real-world applications in 5G, financial trading, and more.

Global bandwidth needs keep rising, and optical technology must adapt to keep up. Hollow core fibre (HCF) stands out as a promising new tech. It sends light through air instead of a solid glass core. This basic change brings big performance gains in cutting down delay.

Stephen Hardy, who edits Lightwave talked with Daryl Ennis, who leads New Business Growth at OFS, and Brian Mangan, a tech expert there. They discussed how OFS is leading the way with its AccuCore HCF cable.
