In today’s increasingly digital world, demand for high-speed and reliable connectivity is skyrocketing. A key technology driving this progress is fiber optics. Here’s how it’s shaping the future of the telecommunications industry in 2023.

From Dial-Up to Light-Speed: The Growth of Fiber Optics

Fiber optics uses pulses of light to transmit data along flexible, transparent fibers made of glass or plastic. Compared to traditional copper wires, fiber optics offer greater bandwidth, longer distances without signal loss, and immunity to electromagnetic interference[1]. Its significance is especially pronounced given the growth of data-intensive activities like video streaming, online gaming, and cloud computing.

A critical factor in the rise of fiber optics is the rollout of 5G networks, requiring a high-speed, reliable backhaul system for data transportation. According to a report from Deloitte, it is estimated that the US alone would need an investment of $130-$150 billion in fiber infrastructure over the next 5-7 years to support broad 5G deployment.

The Impact of Fiber Optics on the Telecom Industry

1. Increased Network Speed and Capacity

Fiber optics has ushered in a new era of ultra-fast internet, with speeds reaching up to 1,000 Mbps (or 1 Gbps), many times faster than traditional broadband. It has significantly boosted the network capacity, accommodating the surge in data traffic driven by streaming services, IoT devices, and remote work trends.

2. Enabling 5G and Beyond

Fiber optics is the backbone for 5G and future generations of networks. The low latency and high-speed data transmission of fiber optic technology are crucial for 5G to support applications like real-time gaming, autonomous vehicles, and telemedicine.

3. Revolutionizing Rural Connectivity

The digital divide is a significant issue, especially in rural areas. Fiber optics is playing a key role in bringing high-speed internet to these communities, revolutionizing their connectivity, and offering new opportunities for e-learning, telehealth, and remote work.

4. Green Telecommunications

Fiber optics consume less energy compared to traditional copper cables, which aligns with the growing focus on sustainability in the telecom industry.

The advantages of fiber optics have brought transformative change to the telecommunications industry, promising a future of high-speed, reliable, and widespread connectivity. As we stride further into this digital era, it’s clear that fiber optics will continue to light the way.

Tampa, Florida — July 21, 2021 —Learning Alliance Corporation (LAC) partners with Taqtile to build and deliver augmented reality-based training simulation to LAC students.

“We are building training and development in the virtual space because it offers a safe environment for students to practice continuous repetition of hard skills,” said Fred Arnold, Director of Operations for LAC.

Taqtile’s Manifest platform leverages augmented reality (AR) to provide state-of-the-art training and upskilling support to front-line workers and technicians. With Manifest, organizations such as the Learning Alliance Corporation can leverage AR to access the expertise of knowledgeable staff and trainers, providing step-by-step maintenance procedures and repair instructions, empowering technicians to complete their jobs more efficiently and accurately.

“By combining our virtual reality gaming components and Taqtile’s Manifest software, we have produced a unique way to train and develop our students,” said Fred.

LAC presented the augmented reality gear during a site visit from FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr, industry executives, and workforce development boards.

“Many of the uses and applications of 5G are unknown to us, but virtual and augmented reality will be a large part of its growth,” said Brendan.

Learning Alliance plans to integrate virtual and augmented reality solutions into its training in a number of areas including wireless, fiber, and broadband.

“We will continue to provide a flexible learning environment for our students and partner employers,” said Cesar Ruiz, CEO of Learning Alliance. “Augmented reality provides a unique way to teach that empowers the user through a hands-free experience,” he said.

“Deskless, hands-on workers are the most technologically underserved population in business today. At Taqtile, we aim to empower deskless workers with the tools they need to learn and execute just about any complex task in a hands-free manner,” said Taqtile senior director of sales, Joe Clukey. “With Manifest’s ability to break down any complex task into easy-to-digest, bite-sized pieces, we’re taking students from the classroom to the field more quickly, and enabling them to learn through doing instead of through just watching or reading.”

The technology utilizes Microsoft Hololens built on a Trimble hard hat that allows the student to be protected in construction environments, all the while being taught new installation techniques. The compact nature of Halolens provides an unobstructed view the environment around while displaying critical information to the user.

“Learning Alliance Corporation is a leader in their space and Manifest is going to help them more efficiently train the next generation of network technicians,” said Taqtile cofounder and CEO, Dirck Schou. “With the intuitive Manifest platform, incoming students will receive the training and instruction necessary to more safely, efficiently, and accurately complete complex tasks in the field.”
