Why Fiber?
There are many benefits to deploying fiber as the technology infrastructure within a development. Zoomy Co will design traditional fiber networks, or blown fiber implementations, depending upon the development’s or agency’s capital and business needs. Here are the primary benefits of fiber vs. cable modem, DSL, wireless or HFC.
Speed. Fiber supports gigabit transmission speeds. In an application sense, this is at least 2,000 times faster than a dial-up modem, 100 times faster than the maximum speed of DSL, and 100 times faster than today's maximum speed of a cable modem.
The following table illustrates the differences in speed among various communications technologies. It shows how much time it would take to deliver the digital information contained in a DVD copy of the film “The Matrix” from New York to California.
