Metro Fiber To Backbone Connection: Translates To Speed And Cost Control

If you are interested in knowing what the words "metro fiber to backbone connection" really are, two companies can provide you with the answer. The terms relate to the revolution in telecommunications by companies to stay competitive and still meet the ever-increasing consumer demands for broadband services with the capacity to convert present networking systems into metro transfer systems to support the newly constructed fiber-optic backbone network infrastructure, which has been recently and rapidly constructed by companies such as Bechtel Telecommunications (see article titled "Metromedia Fiber Networks' at http://www.bechteltelecommunication.com/jsp/exp/wireline.jsp). Bechtol Telecommunications' construction of 7000 km of fiber backbone has resulted in connecting 30 cities in the United States, Canada, and Europe to this new network infrastructure.

Taking into consideration that this new network infrastructure has created a "global revolution" in telecommunications, and the communications needs of people world-wide are steadily increasing, companies, as a result, can now provide services in "Internet access, voice (Vo1P), broadcast quality image delivery, and video on demand," through the same network, but at a much cheaper price and at a much higher speed (see Metro SONET System Supporting Optical Backbone Infrastructure: FLASHWAVE 4500."

Metro fiber to backbone connection, translated, means end users receive faster communications services worldwide, and the telecommunications companies can now provide those services at a much lower operating cost, ultimately resulting in lower end-user costs.
