Transport
The telecommunications industry is ever evolving with service networks of digital traffic driven by multimedia services, mobile applications, social media, VoiP and cloud computing. Then add in the transportation infrastructures such as rail, road and ship. By creating and having such a large open infrastructure in the transportation industry eliminates the needs for trackside or roadside installations, power and copper cables and resource attendance. Allowing greater coverage and complete infrastructure network for all aspects of the transportation industry.

Mining
Communication networks in the mining industry is a critical link between underground operations and surface staff. Mining processes are constantly changing and becoming more advanced, the demand for a network increases with the ever present risks in mining being rock falls, temperature extremes, confined spaces, high voltage and explosive gases being a few of the hazards in an underground network. First developed in the 1970’s fibre optic systems have revolutionised communications in the mining industry, creating an easy deployable and maintainable data system.

Defence
The defence industry was one of the first industries to embrace fibre optic technology. This was originally for communications however, the uses are broadening. The fibre optic network is utilised from communications, performance, sensing but it is its overall easy and reliability. The total electrical isolation of fibre makes it a safer, spark free media for use in hazardous environments where volatile gasses may be present. Fibre Optic networks can transmit a mind boggling quantity of data and up to 150 times the data carrying capacity of bulkier copper cable and run longer distances.
