Fiber optics are cables that are used to transmit data at the speed of light. This uis especially popular with Verizon FiOS services.

What is wavelength division multiplexing?

Primarily used in fiberoptics, but generally applicable, WDM is a way of transmitting more data by separating channels by "color". For example, you can transmit one message with blue light and another by yellow light and another by red light. Then you can separate them at the receiver. More specifically, you can use thousands of very narrow wavelengths in a single fiberoptic cable to increase the communication capacity enormously.


How fast is a signal?

Before we can investigate that question, we must agree on what a "signal" is.Since I'm the one doing the investigating at the moment, I'll suggest what I thinkit is: A 'signal' is a transfer of information from one place to another.Now that we all agree on the definition of 'a signal', we can proceed to think abouthow fast it is. As soon as we begin to think, we immediately discover that differentsignals have different speeds. It all depends on what method you decide to useto move your information (your message) from place to place.Here are several methods, grouped roughly according to their speed:Slowest:-- ordinary mail-- carrier snail-- newspaper advertising-- periodical magazine-- billboards-- office bulletin board-- leaflets-- Voyager/Pioneer Record-- buried time capsuleMedium:-- jungle drums-- shouting/talking-- carrier pigeon-- horns/sirens-- smoke signalsFastest:-- semaphore-- heliograph-- radio-- TV-- telephone-- fiberoptics-- satellite repeaterFastest possible signal . . . 300,000 kilometers per second / speed of light .Slowest possible signal . . . no limit. No matter how slowly you deliver the message,I can always do it slower than you.
