Advantages of Fibre
The Advantages of Fibre
Fibre is the only technology that will deliver enought bandwidth, reliability and at a low cost, to meet the consumer demands of the next decade.
Fibre is affordable now, which is why hundreds of companies using hundreds of different business cases worldwide are racing to install it in thousands of locations.
Fibre is also the only technology that will meet the needs of the foreseeable future when 2D, holographic high definition television and games (products already in use in the industry, and on the drawing boards at big consumer firms) will be in everyday use. Think 20 to 30 gigabits per second in a decade. Copper can’t even do 1/1000th of that bandwidth, and then not for more than a few hundred meters.
Fibre and ‘Triple Play’
As the speed of internet access increases, so does the technology. We can expect online communication and video streaming to become the preferred communication medium to traditional telephone lines and television broadcasting.
Already, we can see the popularity and quality of voice/video calls and video streaming increasing as a direct result of faster internet access speeds. Websites such as skype.com and youtube.com are now household names among internet users.
With our Fibre ‘Triple Play’ network we will start to see specially designed phone handsets and LCD TV’s capable of connecting directly to our Fibre Network, so you no longer have to multi-task using your computer as a one-stop-shop.
