Advantages of optical fibre communication over radio wave communication

Home | Department: Ist Year | Subject: Applied Physics I |

All the below features keep the optical fibre communication superior over conventional radio‒wave communication.

ADVANTAGES OF OPTICAL FIBRE COMMUNICATION OVER RADIO WAVE COMMUNICATION

1. Light waves have higher frequency (10¹⁵ Hz) compared to the radio wave frequency (10⁶ Hz) and microwave frequency and hence has wider bandwidth so that large number of signals can be transmitted simultaneously.

2. Optical communication can be made even in the absence of power.

3. Since it is a dielectric waveguide; the optical signals are not affected by any electrical signals, or lightening.

4. It is free from Electromagnetic interference (EMI)

5. This type of communication is suitable to any environmental conditions

6. Due to smaller diameter, light weight and high flexibility optical fibres are handled easily than copper cables.

7. Easy maintenance, longer life, economical and high quality signal transmission are the additional features of optical fibre transmission.

NOTE: All the above features keep the optical fibre communication superior over conventional radio‒wave communication.
