Evolution in Telecommunication – Broadband and New Advancements and Services

First of all starting from the cry basic what is broadband?
Broadband refers to telecommunication in which a wide band of frequencies is available to transmit information. Because a wide band of frequencies is available, information can be multiplexed and sent on many different frequencies or channels within the band concurrently, allowing more information to be transmitted in a given amount of time.

Evolution in the telecommunications field has been a very long process which will be discussed in later. Some years back, the copper wire w used to carry out telecom conversations but now invention of optical fiber has been a very big step in the evolution and advancement of telecom industry and generation. Some of the major advantages of optical fiber over the copper wire include:

Advantages of Optical Fiber 

Higher bandwidth.
Minimum data losses, long range data sending.
Highly appreciated for higher frequencies.
Low cost for long ranges.
Incredibly lesser weight.
having all these technological advantages, the traffic is also increasing and with the advent of internet, things got a turn because with voice now there are data services which everyone is looking for. Although voice quality is of the mark in fixed lines but there are some reasons which made people to think on something new:

Reasons for Advancements

Affected by moisture and other weather conditions.
Can be affected by noise generated by machinery and magnetic field.
Length of wire runs limited.
Deployment of system was hectic.
Time consuming to run wires under the ground and on floors.
Mobility – users were fixed.
In past it was just only voice but now people are going for new data services which have been causing huge traffic. If we look at the current market, following services are being hit by service providers:

Services
