With ever-evolving technology leading to transformations in infrastructure across industries, fiber optic cables aren’t just part of the process, but essential in modernizing buildings, systems and more.
Sectors including defense, telecommunications and renewable energy are using fiber optics more and more often and at Proterial Cable America (PCA) we are proud to put our high-performance cable solutions to work, serving critical roles supporting our society’s technological growth.
Within the defense sector, fiber optic cables are continuing to help revolutionize the handling of communication and data transfer. Modern naval fleets need to work in some of the harshest and most extreme environments, and because of that, their communication systems need to be state-of-the-art and capable of working in conditions such as these. Secure data transmission is absolutely essential in mission-critical operations, and fiber optic cables can guarantee that data is transmitted securely and reliably. In addition, fiber optics make cybersecurity less of a potential threat – minimizing interference and interception.
Another area of the defense sector on the rise is automation – specifically with unmanned naval drones, unmanned aerial vehicles and ground-based robotics. These operations involve navigation, control, and real-time decision making. That means they need high-speed connections with low latency—speed and reliability. Fiber optic cables are ideal for those needs.
The growing expansion of 5G networks and the onset of cloud computing and real-time communication has meant a virtual overhaul of telecommunications. Fiber optic cables provide the foundation needed to build the bandwidth and speed necessary for such major technological advancements.
The Internet of Things (IoT)—a collection of objects that are networked together with sensors and software—further driving the need for telecommunications infrastructure upgrades. IoT interconnectivity includes everything from smart phones and tablets to smart thermostats and appliances. As IoT demand increases, so does the need for smart buildings and cities, which in turn need fiber optic cables to keep up with new technology’s requirements.
At PCA, we are at the forefront of this telecommunications revolution with products like our NanoCore Micro Distribution Multi-Unit Plenum Cables, which are ideal for high-density environments like data centers. PCA products ensure reliable and efficient performance, no matter the application.
Artificial Intelligence, or AI, is all around us. Google is using it to answer search questions, Chat GPT is using it to help people with their workplace efficiency, and Alexa or Siri are responding to your random thoughts, music requests, and weather reporting. Across industries, AI is changing things – with predictive analytics, autonomous vehicles, machine learning or any of many other uses.
Fiber optics are essential to AI’s operation and scalability. The low latency and high bandwidth capabilities of fiber optics are ideal for real-time data processing and decision making. Fiber optic cables supply AI systems with high speeds and reliability for use in data centers, cloud servers, edge devices and more. This ability makes fiber critical for the huge amounts of data to be transferred quickly and efficiently in AI systems.
Industries throughout the world are evolving to meet the requirements of new technologies, and PCA fiber optic cables are here to help. Defense, telecommunications and renewable energy are fields where the need is present, but there are countless other use cases, including education, healthcare and more.
Our extensive fiber optic product line—including indoor/outdoor tight buffered cables and Base 8 and Base 16 Solutions, and many others—give our customers a range of support that translates to flexibility and durability with their individual project needs.
