Kazakhstan and Azerbaijan are moving ahead with the development of the Trans-Caspian fiber-optic communication line, which is ...

The big idea: The same fiber-optic cables we use to get online are being repurposed to detect earthquakes and study the ocean floor. The technique has been used to find a previously unknown cluster of ...

“To my knowledge, this is the first example of this technique used under the sea,” says geoscientist Philippe Jousset of the GFZ German Research Centre for Geosciences, who has used fiber to sense ...

If you thought your internet data and international phone calls were transmitted via satellite, you would be wrong. (It's okay, I was, too.) Nearly all of that data actually travels on submarine ...

Fiber-optic services are becoming more popular, and networks are expanding to cover more areas for faster data transfer speeds. Fiber-optic data transfer differs from traditional methods like ...

COMM pushes fiber-optic innovation with high-performance solutions for data centers and edge networks, targeting faster, ...

Fiber optic cables, it turns out, can be incredibly useful scientific sensors. Researchers have studied them for use in carbon sequestration, groundwater mapping, earthquake detection, and monitoring ...

Last year, fiber-optic drones emerged as a game-changing technology in the Russia-Ukraine War. By transmitting data through fiber-optic cables, these drones are immune to the electronic warfare ...
