AT&T U-verse Fiber Technology

Learn how AT&T is taking the fiber optics within our network and turning it into the vehicle that's delivering all your entertainment to your television, computer and phone.

What is it?

Fiber optics is glass or plastic hair thin threads that deliver data over a network. The threads are bound tightly together and use waves of light to transmit the data.

Advantages

There are many advantages using Fiber Optics:

  • Thinner than regular cable (metal)
  • Digital rather than analog data transmission 
  • Fiber optics carry more bandwidth than traditional metal

Availability

Fiber optics is replacing traditional copper within networks across the country and around the world. AT&T is using this technology whenever possible.
