Fiber Optic Networks Glendale

Fiber optic networks consist of cables encasing long and thin strands of glass or plastic. These tiny fiber optic lines are tiny, one tenth the size of a human hair. Inside each fiber cable, light flashes from one location to the next, creating patterns that translate into digital information. Before fiber optics became a common technology, much of the infrastructure for telecommunications was expanded using cable and phone lines. Because the infrastructure was already in place, most ISPs were (and some continue to be) slow to invest money into upgrading their infrastructure to fiber technology.
