Telecommunications

The telecommunication industry has widespread applications, ranging from global networks to desktop computers.  These involve the transmission of voice, data or video over distances of less than one meter to hundreds of kilometers.  Multinational firms need secure, reliable systems to transfer financial information and data transmission between computers and the buildings as well as transfer data around the world. Fibers are lighter than copper, which allows them to be easily transported to the cable lying site.  Fiber optic cables are much more difficult to tap than copper wire, so there is a security advantage as well.
