Introduction –

Optical communication & networking equipment is a kind of equipment that uses optically encoded signals to transmit information in various types of telecom networks. The technological maturity and commercialization of radiofrequency photonics and copper wire infrastructure have produced advanced and effective optical communication systems. These include Wide Area Networks (WAN) and limited-area Local Area Networks (LAN), which are limited to particular areas as well as long-distance such as, international, national, and transoceanic networks.

Components in optical communications and networks include optical amplifiers, terminal equipment, tunable filters, transceivers, and add/drop multiplexers. Optical communication has several benefits compared with traditional communication systems such as, lightweight and small in size, zero electromagnetic interference, reduced material costs, increased bandwidth, energy-saving, and can transmit information faster, easily, reliably, and securely.

Optical communication equipment is mainly used by network operators, broadband service providers, enterprises, and governments. Products offered in this market include fiber optics, LANs, WANs, telephones, routers, bridges, gateways, etc. The inventions in these products include Li-Fi (Optical Fidelity), which has the ability to transfer data a hundred times faster when compared to Wi-Fi and Free Space Communication (FSO) solutions.
