What is fiber history

• Fiber optics is a technology that allows you
  to transmit large amounts of data at high speed.
  Born in the seventies for decorative purposes,
  today it represents one of the most used systems
  to guarantee fast and efficient connections. On
  the other hand, it is no coincidence that optical
  fiber is slowly replacing traditional copper
  cables. Today it constitutes the infrastructure
  through which

3

• more than 80 of Internet information,
  television images and telephone conversations
  travel around the world.
• The first fiber was born in 1956 in the
  medical field, used for the construction of a
  gastro scope. In this case, however, the data
  could only travel short distances due to the poor
  purity of the materials, a problem that was
  highlighted by the scientist Charles Kao in 1966.

• Thus it was that the American company Corning
  Glass accepted the scholar's challenge and in
  1970 producing the first optical fiber made of an
  extremely pure glass capable of carrying light
  energy over long distances and with a signal
  carrying capacity 65,000 times greater than
  copper. Since then, research has never stopped
  and technology has undergone continuous and
  constant evolution.
