FIBER-OPTIC

Fiber optic internet access providers use the optical fiber for the transmission of information.

The process of communicating using fiber-optics involves the following basic steps:

1.Creating the optical signal involving the use of a transmitter

2.Relaying the signal along the fiber

3.Ensuring that the signal does not become too distorted or weak,

4.Receiving the optical signal, and converting it into an electrical signal.

POWER-LINE

In this kind of data transmission the power

distribution line is utilized.

Consumers can buy powerline adapter sets at most

electronics retailers and use those to establish a

wired connection using the existing electrical wiring

in the home.
