"still, wont there be a bottle neck at houses when it goes fiber to copper?"
That's the best thing, there won't be any copper as that will be reserved for the landline :)
I will assume you were referring to the signals as they go to through the interface of fibre > digital circuits.
Traditionally,
there hasn't been a bottleneck existing in the digital parts of modems
as the bottlenecks existed in the analogue transmission of a signal. But
with fibre optics, we will see a bottleneck on the digital circuits at
the exchange level due to the transmission of bits, but this won't
surface, in my estimation, for a long time, as we have the technology to
deal with bogged down exchanges and that is to get faster circuits.
I
will put this out there, Digital circuits aren't affected by
attenuation in the way analogue signals are, thats why we have CPU's
doing 3.1 Ghz with 2-3 cores running at 3.3 - 5 volts.
"fiber optics technology is incomplete last time I looked, is that still the case?"
Up
until 4 years ago, the practical memristor was developed and that is
considered a basic component in electronics. I would say the same for FO
tech is still in the works for research, but as I said, very future
proof. |
