Er. Dinesh Gupta, HoD (CSE/IT) of Yogananda College of Engineering & Technology (YCET) has been invited by St. JOSEPH UNIVERSITY Dimapur, Nagaland to conduct a session on “Innovation in Communication using Optical Fibres”. This activity was conducted under IIC Driven Activity which is under Institutions Innovation Council- a MHRD Govt of India Initiative. Er. Dinesh Gupta conducted this season on Nov. 18, 2021.
The session was started with the history of Telecommunication and different modes of communication, comparison of different types of communication with Optical Fibre Communication, its advantages and disadvantages. It finds innumerable uses in Telecommunication, Military, Medical Science, Home, Industry, Networking etc.
He further told that there are many advantages by using these cables over other types of communication cables e.g. bandwidth of these cables is high, less vulnerable than metal cables to interference, less thin, lighter, and the data can be transmitted in the form of digitally. These cables are essential for LANs. So, telecommunication companies are replacing the telephone lines by these cables. One day, all communications will use fiber optics. The design considerations of these cables mainly include appearance, ruggedness, durability, tensile strength, flammability, size, range of temperature, and its flexibility.
