Fiber-optic solution for the aerospace sector
The integration of fiber optics into this environment is revolutionising the civil aeronautics, space and astronomy sectors. Fiber optics offer faster, more reliable and lighter high-speed communications, making it easier to intercommunicate between aircraft and Earth, as well as for scientific missions and space exploration. In astronomy, fibre optics enable more accurate observations by transmitting light signals from telescopes to analysis instruments with minimal distortion. This improves the quality of the data collected and encourages new discoveries about the universe.
CivilAeronautics
Fiber-optic solution for the civil aeronautics sector
Optical fiber has added a new dimension to aeronautical applications. It is very much in evidence at various levels, thanks to its low weight, high bandwidth, immunity to electromagnetic interference and reliability. Find out how SEDI-ATI meets the stringent requirements of this industry.
