Correspondent/DigitalSENSE Business News:
The Chief Technical Officer, Phase3 Telecom, Mr. Ajibade
Momolosho has described fibre optic broadband as technology with an ultra-speed.
Momolosho in a press statement sighted by DigitalSENSE Business News says the
technology is the most important innovation that provides a higher reliability,
less vulnerability to natural disasters and bad weather conditions to name a
few.
According to him, fibre optic has an astonishing environmental
advantage which prevents sparks or fire hazards, due to no electricity is
transferred through them. Stressing that it’s a safer option for broadband
connection in Nigeria with a higher flexibility and tremendous ease of
deployment.
“The immunity of fibre optics transmission to electromagnetic
interference ensure the accuracy of signal transmission by keeping the original
strength of the signal over long distance, and because of its nature it is the
safer option for broadband connection in the country’ he said.
As said by him, the technology is the next generation of
broadband and is much faster, more reliable and uses a different technology.
He underlined the fact that traditional broadband known as Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL) delivers through copper telephone lines, but fibre
broadband uses fibre optic cables.
“Fibre optic cabling provides high-speed data transmission
and is much less likely to lose connectivity than a traditional dial-up
connection,” he explained, pointing out that a single fibre optic cable could
carry a significantly larger amount of information than a copper wire line,
which means that less space is required for cabling.
Momolosho, further said that Phase3 Telecom invested $110
million to enable broadband get to the underserved and unserved areas of the
country, just as Phase3 is working at investing $68 million between now and
2016 for broadband development in the country.
