b'Single-mode fiber transformed telecommunications in the 1970s and 1980s by raising the ceiling for communication bandwidth over transoceanic distances. It took years of R&D to get there though. Remember, we\\u2019re sending light through tens of kilometers of glass without regeneration. Imagine how pure the glass of an 80km thick window needs to be in order to see through it! \\n\\nIn Episode 45, we continue our conversation with Roshene McCool, expert in fiber networks for telecommunications & scientific instrumentation at Corning Optical Communications. She explains the impact of geography on fiber networks.\\n\\u2013 Pat Chou, Cisco Optics Product Manager\\n\\nRoshene McCool is the Senior Market and Technology Development Manager for Corning Optical Fiber and Cable, specialising in single-mode fiber and access networks.
