Fibre Sample Clauses

Fibre. The platform AAPT uses to deliver access to the Customer is a technology called optical fibre. This technology uses glass (or plastic) threads (fibres) to transmit data. A fibre optic cable consists of a bundle of glass threads, each of which is capable of transmitting messages modulated onto light waves. Fibre optic cables have a much greater bandwidth and are less susceptible to interference than metal cables. Fibre uses Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH) to provide a “self healing” network, which means less downtime and more reliable service. AAPT offers a range of Internet access products. These are set out in the table below. The Internet access products mentioned below are not available in all areas or in NT and TAS.
