The landscape of data communications and telecommunications is undergoing rapid and constant change, leading to an increasing demand for transferring vast amounts of information over long distances. Traditional technologies like coaxial cable, satellite, and microwave radio, which were extensively used in the past, were reaching their capacity limits. However, the advent of fiber-optic communications systems has provided a successful solution to the challenges of limited transmission capacity and noisy industrial environments. Fiber-optic technology has effectively addressed these issues, offering enhanced transmission capacity and the ability to operate in demanding industrial settings.
