The New Year has begun on a grand note. There is so much excitement and expectation everywhere. People are optimistic and ready to experiment with good ideas. I think there is a lot of positive energy in 2010.

Here's my thought: May good ideas bring good changes in our lives.

Fiber Optics and Electromagnetic Inferences

In my earlier post, we've discussed how fiber optics is critical to facilitate smooth and smart communications networks across all work spheres. World over, there are so many problems pertaining to data security. What we need to remember is that computer data travels at low speeds and in ordinary environments, it becomes far too costly to use fiber optics to facilitate data transmission between PCs and printers.

A major advantage of optical fibers is that they do not receive or emit any electrical or electromagnetic inferences that cause failure, degradation or breakdowns in electronic equipment.

Fiber optics are typically immune to such disturbances as it neither radiates electro-magnetic fields nor is it vulnerable to other EM fields. Typically, manufacturers of telecommunications equipments make use of optical fiber because it weeds out such cross talk that may occur across telecommunication lines. Share your thoughts and queries about the scope of fiber optics with me because that's what the future is all about.

Power and Scope of Fiber Optics

People say that smart communication rules the world but smart communication is all about having 'good' chemistry. In today's world of digital technology, striking deals is a critical part of communication. Most of it is done through social media networks, video conferencing and so on.

In this context, fiber optics is the golden key that opens the door many opportunities in every industry.

Fiber optics is the world's most effective means of communication as it spans long distances easily. We don't realize how it benefits local phone systems and global telecommunications. It supports and develops so many network systems, worldwide.

What makes fiber optics important is that it utilizes light pulses to transmit the information, not electronic pulses.
The benefits of using fiber optics are:

• SPEED: High speed is the USP of fiber optic networks.

• DISTANCE: Signals span long distances and don't require to be 'refreshed.'

• RESISTANCE: Fiber optic networks pose great resistance to different forms of electromagnetic noise. This includes radios, motors and other cables.

• MAINTENANCE: There is very little to maintain when using fiber optic cables.

A vital point that is the highlight of fiber optic systems is BANDWIDTH.

Fiber optic networks have tremendous carrying capacity. It spans undersea long haul telecommunications networks too.

It facilitates worldwide communications spanning voice, data and video using the latest technologies, wavelength division multiplexing, also termed as WDM services. Typically, WDM services are critical to today's work systems and global networks, mostly in the form of video conferencing and video-on-demand.

Strengthening your competence, skills and output is possible when technology assists you to communicate effortlessly. The adoption of these latest developments is what I focus on so that countless people across the world are able to utilize it to deliver high quality results in every endeavor they undertake.

Making History Through Optical Fiber Transmission

So much has been debated and discussed about the Nobel Peace Prize that was awarded to President Obama. Peace is a relative state of the mind. For a person like me whose business has always been about making a positive difference to the world through path breaking initiatives, my attention was on Charles Kuen Kao, who was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics for his accomplishments in "the transmission of light in fibers for optical communication.”

Those who know about the development of optical fibers may be pleased as I am because this incredible man called Kao played a pivotal role in its development. Yes, Charles Kuen Kao is important for you, me and millions of professionals and individuals in the world. Does it sound geekish?

Well, it's not, because Kao fueled the growth and development of those sheer waveguides known to route light and serve us across thousands and thousands of kilometers. These optical fibers function at the speed of light.
So, here are 2 reasons why I believe Kao is a leader with extraordinary vision:

Kao questioned and defied all the rules of conventional wisdom. Obviously, it worked, didn't it?
People said that light could never pass through glass fibers. Kao saw it as a cheap, abundant and durable material which could also be the strongest to transmit data at astounding rates. He was right.

Today, when we talk about optical fibers and fiber optic cables, we need to respect this man for the lessons he's taught us - about breaking conventional streams of thought for a greater good that goes beyond making profits.

In a nutshell, it just boils down to something as simple as making history.
