Fibre optic communication and wireless communication are joining forces to create the next generation of data transfer with faster speeds and enhanced efficiency.
A new age in wireless communication is dawning, that of converged fibre-wireless (FiWi) access networks, also known as hybrid optical-wireless access networks and wireless-optical broadband access networks. The technology works by bringing together the efficiency of optical fibre networks with the cost savings and ubiquity of wireless networks.
