This document discusses the benefits of switching to a fiber optic network provided by PS LIGHTWAVE. A fiber optic network uses light pulses to digitally transmit information over long distances at speeds up to 25 terabits per second on a single fiber strand. Fiber optic technology provides the fastest internet speeds available today and is more secure, scalable, and reliable than other options like cable or DSL. PS LIGHTWAVE offers fiber optic solutions to businesses across various industries with a 5,000 route mile network in the greater Houston area and 24/7 network operations support.

1. 1
Making the Switch to the PS LIGHTWAVE
Fiber Optic Network

2. 2
What is a Fiber Optic Network?
A fiber optic network digitizes information and transports it using light
pulses over short and long distances
FACT: The capacity of a single strand of optical fiber is 25 terabits per second.

3. 3
Fiber optic technology is the fastest Internet speed available today.
Due to demand, pricing has become more competitive and affordable.
Why Fiber and not Cable, a T1 or DSL?
FACT: Current industry standards allow
100 Gigs of throughput on a fiber strand
using existing hardware.

Benefits of Fiber

5. 5
Fiber and the Internet of Things (IoT)
Fiber optic transport over a
dedicated network is the best way
to securely transport large data
sets.
FACT: In the next 10 years, 50 billion devices will
be connected to the Internet for Machine to
Machine (M2M) communication.
