For Optical Fiber, More Bandwidth Looms
Engineering improvements to fiber, as well as enhancements to detectors and sources, aim to improve capacity for long-haul networks and data centers. The world’s data travels largely by fiber, with more being moved than ever before. San Jose, Calif.-based networking giant Cisco Systems forecasts that data traffic will grow 22 percent a year from 2015 to 2020.
