The Power of Two: Combining Fiber and FSO for Always-On Networks

Fiber-optic networks have served as the undisputed backbone of global connectivity. They have enabled everything from cloud computing and hyperscale data centers to 5G, enterprise networking, and international communications. Yet, as artificial intelligence (AI), edge computing, and mission-critical digital services accelerate demand for always-on connectivity, operators are recognizing that even the most advanced fiber network has a single physical weakness: the cable itself.
