Broadweave The Advantages of Fiber With Veracity’s Fiber-0ptic network we are future proofing an infrastructure and opening the door to an experience where you can surf the internet, shop online, do your banking and bill paying or stream HDTV on demand all from the convenience of your television. In addition, as the demand for HD Television programming, time-shifted viewing, increased data sharing, Internet commerce and peer-to-peer interaction will drive the need for the greater bandwidth offered by fiber-optics. The demand for greater bandwidth will require new solutions to replace the current copper wire infrastructure which is old, decaying and is severely limited in bandwidth as current technology outpaces its capacity. The time for Fiber-optics is now and Veracity is leading the way!


Some Advantages of Fiber-optics:
Copper and Wireless just won’t cut it: Wireless alternatives to services now run over copper wire such as WiFi and WiMAX can’t deliver HDTV—and in fact have trouble delivering standard-definition television. Variants now provided over copper—DSL, and even the latest cable and satellite links, can deliver HDTV only with difficulty, low reliability, and high operating costs. And that’s today. What about the demands we may see even a few years down the road?

Fiber-optics is the solution to the problem: And the time to move is now. The United States has steadily dropped in worldwide broadband ranking since 2001 when it ranked 4th, now ranking 15th internationally. Utah ranks 46 out of 50 within the United States. Unless we want to continue to drop behind in the national and global market, moving to a Fiber-Optic infrastructure is a must.

It’s a matter of bandwidth: With Fiber-0ptics bandwidth no problem. In fact, one bundle of fiber cable not much thicker than a pencil can carry ALL of the world’s current communications traffic. What can one strand of fiber do? Download the brochure from the link below to find out.

No signal compression with Fiber-Optics: Each HD TV channel takes about 8-9 mbps when transmitted in highly compressed Mpeg4 format, and 18-21 mbps when in less compressed Mpeg2 format. Compression is required to transmit HD programs over the current copper wire cable infrastructure. Rapid movement, such as in sports programming, causes particular lag or pixelating problems with compression algorithms. Early resistance beginning to appear to the compression of HD signals, because, after all, quality is the entire point of HD. Interestingly, sales of old fashioned over-air antennas have been increasing in some cities because HD customers have found they can get better quality from broadcast HD signals versus the HD signals sent in more compressed format via cable television or satellite TV. Standard or HD TV is not compressed over fiber—HD is seen as it was meant to.

Fiber-optics offer monetary advantages: In addition to friendly environmental factors, these economic and strategic advantages are inherent with fiber:

  • FTTH – that is, Fiber to the Home– is the only technology that will deliver enough bandwidth, reliably and at a low enough cost, to meet the consumer demands of the next decade.

    •
  • FTTH is affordable now, which is why hundreds of companies using hundreds of different business cases worldwide are racing to install it in thousands of locations.

    •
  • FTTH is also the only technology that will meet the needs of the foreseeable future, when 3D, “holographic” high-definition television and games (products already in use in industry, and on the drawing boards at big consumer electronics firms) will be in everyday use. Think 20 to 30 gigabits per second in a decade. Copper can’t do even 1/1000th of that bandwidth, and then not for more than a few hundred yards.

    •
  • Homes connected to a Fiber-Optic network have an average increase in value of $5,000.00

 

As new technologies advance efficiency and transmission capabilities over the Fiber-Optic network, one just upgrades to new components at the transmission or receiving end with far less cost. The built in bandwidth of the fiber infrastructure makes this possible and ensures consumers can easily access the latest technologies.
