Why fibre internet doesn’t use Modems

Fiber-optic internet is built upon thin glass or plastic fibers that transmit data as pulses of light. These cables can carry vast amounts of information at the speed of light, making them incredibly efficient. Unlike metal wires, fiber optics are immune to electromagnetic interference and have minimal data loss. The backbone of the internet relies on these robust fiber-optic cables that span continents and oceans

Fiber Modems: The Optical Network Terminal (ONT)

1. What Is an ONT?

• Instead of traditional modems, fiber internet uses an Optical Network Terminal (ONT).
• The ONT converts optical signals from the fiber optic cables into electronic data for your devices.

2. How It Works

• The internet signal travels via fiber optic cables to the ONT.
• The ONT transforms these optical signals into electronic data, enabling your devices to connect to the internet.
