Impact of Fiber Optic Technology
Fiber optic technology has revolutionized the way we communicate, and it has become an indispensable part of our lives. With the growing demand for high-speed internet, telecom companies are constantly upgrading their infrastructure to provide faster and more reliable connectivity to their customers.
