EU looks to improve rail lines with fiber
By Max BurkhalterOctober 21, 2013
Similar improvements can be taken into consideration in other industries as well. The implementation of fiber lines can improve network infrastructure for energy providers, city smart grids and more. Simply focusing on the technology and key fiber media converter solutions will provide improved support and the elimination of network latency needed to optimize service.
Technology alone isn't a solution to infrastructure needs, regardless of industry, but proper planning, implementation and support can go a long way toward improving quality of living in any nation. The EU has dedicated more than 470,000 Euros to the Capacity4Rails project to help ensure its success. Smaller scale investments may not require the same level of funding, but equal dedication is critical to eliminating hurdles along the way and ensuring that organizations can implement such improvements quickly and efficiently.
Perle has an extensive range of Managed and Unmanaged Fiber Media Converters to extended copper-based Ethernet equipment over a fiber optic link, multimode to multimode and multimode to single mode fiber up to 160km.
