transmit over an optical communication line
1Optical communication — is any form of telecommunication that uses light as the transmission medium. An optical communication system consists of a transmitter, which encodes a message into an optical signal, a channel, which carries the signal to its destination, and a… …
2Free space optical communication — In telecommunications, Free Space Optics (FSO) is an optical communication technology that uses light propagating in free space to transmit data between two points. The technology is useful where the physical connection by the means of fibre… …
3Optical Carrier transmission rates — are a standardized set of specifications of transmission bandwidth for digital signals that can be carried on Synchronous Optical Networking (SONET) fiber optic networks.[1] Transmission rates are defined by rate of the bitstream of the digital… …
4Optical fiber — A bundle of optical fibers A TOSLINK fiber optic audio c …
5Passive optical network — A passive optical network (PON) is a point to multipoint, fiber to the premises network architecture in which unpowered optical splitters are used to enable a single optical fiber to serve multiple premises, typically 32 128. A PON consists of an …
6Fiber-optic communication — An optical fiber junction box. The yellow cables are single mode fibers; the orange and blue cables are multi mode fibers: 50/125 µm OM2 and 50/125 µm OM3 fibers respectively. Fiber optic communication is a method of transmitting information from …
7Non-line-of-sight propagation — Non line of sight (NLOS) or near line of sight is a term used to describe radio transmission across a path that is partially obstructed, usually by a physical object in the innermost Fresnel zone. Many types of radio transmissions depend, to… …
8Voice over IP — Digital voice redirects here. For the commercial service, see Comcast Digital Voice. Voice over Internet Protocol (Voice over IP, VoIP) is a family of technologies, methodologies, communication protocols, and transmission techniques for the… …
9Semaphore line — This article is about the communication system using towers with pivoting shutters. For other uses, see Semaphore (disambiguation). For the now closed railway in Adelaide, Australia, see Semaphore railway line, Adelaide. A Chappe telegraph at… …
10Synchronous optical networking — (SONET) and Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH), are two closely related multiplexing protocols for transferring multiple digital bit streams using lasers or light emitting diodes (LEDs) over the same optical fiber. The method was developed to… …
