What’s next on the horizon that may overtake and replace fiber technology?
Jim Jachetta: There are some wireless products on the market for video transport. They are limited in bandwidth and distance. A wireless video system will always be highly compressed and limited in transmission distance. We feel that fiber is here to stay. With virtually infinite bandwidth, fiber will support our information transport needs of today and in the future. Scientists in the fiber optic industry are constantly increasing the useable bandwidth and throughput of fiber optic systems and components.
