Internet Connections - Latest Advances

When the Internet was invented by the team headed by Tim Berners Lee working at CERN

, a small portion of the international community had the foresight to declare it to be a disruptive innovation in the field of communication. The Internet was first developed as a communication system for the military in the event of severe degradation of traditional communication modes.

Yet, very few would have predicted the rapid dissemination of these networks to the public. Trans-oceanic fiber optic cables were laid all over the world. Consumers were allowed to use the internet via telephone lines over a dial-up connection. Initially, the bandwidth offered was low and internet connectivity was plagued by constant disconnections.

Industry analysts noted that fiber optic backbone has become the most valuable resource for the growth of the service industry. They noted that over the last 20 years, the Internet has evolved to become the preferred mode of communication for much of the first world countries. The use of fiber optics to improve the connectivity of the end user was explored and many service providers started providing fiber optic based broadband connections to users.

Simultaneously, a revolution occurred in telecommunications with the introduction of the cellular phone. Initially this industry was restricted by poor battery capacity, high instrument costs and lack of a customer base. Successive innovations solved these issues and gave way for a new paradigm. As mobile communication networks evolved, their capacity to transmit data other than voice calls also evolved. Internet connections began to be offered on phones as well on a trial basis. Today, we demand internet access for all of our devices, be it a mobile phone, TV, tablet PC or in some cases even refrigerators.

The integration of the internet into our lives has necessitated the search for options that provide us the best quality internet wherever we are. One of the latest innovations in this series is Verizons FiOS internet. This service provides internet, TV and digital telephone all through the same fiber optic backbone. This and a few other services of the same kind offer home users the option of internet connections with broadband speeds of up to 150MBPS. There are different packages for different needs, but typically they range from 5MBPS, 15MBPS, 50MBPS and higher connections.

Such high speeds are possible because fiber optic cables transmit information via light in the form of lasers. This means that the amount of information that can be carried is very high. If the fiber optic connection is connected to an internal Wi-FI router at home, then it means that internet can be accessed by users on Smartphones, tablet
