How does a fiber network work and what is it?
Ok ive heard Google is launching a new internet service that is SUPER Fast but it is a fiber network so how does a fiber network work and does it require a modem?
Also Google says the internet is 1GB per SECOND Is That Likely?
A fiber network is a network where the data is encoded on laser beams and transmitted over fiber optic cables.
Fiber is used because more data can be transmitted over a optic cable than can be transmitted over copper.
It can also be transmitted for a longer distance without degradation.
Fiber networks use special switches and modems to convert data to laser signals and back again
1 Gbs is very likely. There are already networks in use that have data transmission speeds 10 times that number
