Geo announces fiber optic network expansion in UK

Jun 20, 2010

Geo Networks Ltd or in short Geo, a leading provider of high quality and high performance networks for demanding data users based in UK had announced the expansion of their fiber optic network and the addition of three new sites. With this expansion they aim to support a strategic push into the media sector. Geo's national fiber optic network is being extended out 50km to Windlesham in Surrey, passing through many media-centric locations across London including Chiswick, Hounslow and Hammersmith.

The official press release published in Geo website says that the proposed extension provides an alternative route to Slough, offering customers fibre diversity for added resilience. The network will also pass multiple award-winning business site Chiswick Business Park, home to some of the media sector's largest household names, as well as to two new data centre facilities; one in Slough and the other in London's Telehouse West - a state-of-the-art £80m data centre in the heart of the Docklands.

Geo owns the highest quality and most reliable optical fibre network in the United Kingdom, which is built next to the national mains gas pipeline and connecting all major commercial centers. Geo’s fiber optic networks are built buried deep in the city’s sewer system in UK.

Geo use these assets together with large new civil engineering projects and partner networks, to deliver bespoke data solutions to some of the UK’s largest and most demanding organizations. Geo is at the leading edge of the UK’s data networking industry, be it from Carphone Warehouse’s broadband network to building a brand new optical fibre network for the Welsh Assembly Government’s FibreSpeed project.

Geo will be connecting to Chiswick by an extension of its highly secure sewer-based network, enabling a rapid and highly durable connection with no disruption to local residents or businesses. Geo's cables run up to 30 meters below street level, virtually eradicating the threat of accidental damage to the fibre, and providing industry-leading levels of security and resilience to its customers.

These extensions will enable Geo to provide network connectivity to a range of private and public sector businesses in the London and Slough centers of commerce, and takes the total number of data centre connections to 23 in London and 16 national.

Fiber Optics is Green!

Developed in the 1970s communication systems using optical fibers has revolutionized the telecommunications industry and have been played a leading role in the formation of New Technical Age. Fiber Optic communication is a method of transmitting information from one place to another by sending pulses of light through an optical fiber.

Fiber optics is the leading technology in the field of communication. Fiber has reached to the home finally by realizing the expectations for an unlimited bandwidth. Optical fibers still have unutilized potential for digital transmission. Learn fiber optics will give an edge and keep us updated with the technology. Watching demos, videos and reading more from internet is the cost effective option to learn about Optical fiber technology.
The fiber optic technology uses the light which forms an electromagnetic carrier wave. This will be modulated to carry information.. Optical fibers have clear advantages over other electrical transmission mediums. Optical fibers have largely replaced copper wire communications in core networks in the developed world and have been making inroads to the developing countries as well.

The communication process using fiber optics involves the following steps: Creation of the optical signal using a transmitter, relaying the signal along the Optical fiber, make sure that the optical signals do not get weakened, receiving the optical signal, and converting it into an electrical signal.Optical fibers are eco-friendly and Fiber optic technology is Green!
