Alcatel-Lucent is enabling a major increase in the capacity and reach of China Telecom's fiber optic data network. What can Europe learn from China's approach to fiber?

Range adjustment: Wireless networks can support either their maximum speed or their maximum range, but not both simultaneously. The wireless signal weakens as you move farther away from the transmitter. If the wireless signal between two connected wireless devices isn't strong enough, the wireless protocol reduces its transmission speed, using a more robust but slower protocol to maintain the connection.

Overview
This paper considers fiber optics as a support for wireless systems, ensuring they can deliver the data rates necessary to meet the projected growth in mobile data consumption. The benefits of fiber optics for fixed-line telephone access networks are well documented; fiber provides significantly better performance for broadband services than the copper networks still widely used today.

The European rollout of fiber to the home (FTTH) continues to grow steadily; however, the gap between leading and lagging countries is widening, according to the latest figures from the FTTH Council Europe, which were presented at a press conference held at the FTTH Conference 2013 at the ExCeL exhibition center in London.

AFL has expanded its MicroCore cable portfolio for data center applications by adding the new Riser Cable for vertical installations. Suitable for pre-terminated MTP-MTP configurations, the Riser cable offers a solution that meets the demanding requirements typically found in multi-level installations.
