Fiber Optics Basics
Fiber optic technology is simply the use of light to transmit data. The
general use of fiber optics did not begin until the 1970s. Robert Maurer of
Corning Glass Works developed a fiber with a loss of 20 dB/km,
promoting the commercial use of fiber. Since that time the use of fiber
optics has increased dramatically. Advances in fiber technology, lower
production costs, and installation have all contributed to the wide use of
fiber.
The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of fiber, its
construction, and functionality.
The heaviest use of fiber is in the telecommunications industry. Telephone
companies initially used fiber to transport high volumes of voice traffic
between central office locations. During the 1980s telephone companies
began to deploy fiber throughout their networks. Fiber technology allows
companies to "future proof" networks. We use the phrase "future proof"
because fiber is theoretically unlimited in bandwidth. Bandwidth is a
measurement of the data carrying capacity of the media (in this case,
fiber). The greater the bandwidth, the more data or information that can
be transmitted. Copper has a bandwidth and a distance limitation,
making it less desirable.
Benefits of fiber include:
„ High bandwidth for voice, video and data applications
„ Optical fiber can carry thousands of times more information than
copper wire. For example, a single-strand fiber strand could carry all
the telephone conversations in the United States at peak hour
„ Fiber is more lightweight than copper. Copper cable equals
approximately 80 lbs./1000 feet while fiber weighs about 9
lbs./1000 feet
„ Low loss. The higher frequency, the greater the signal loss using
copper cabling. With fiber, the signal loss is the same across
frequencies, except at the very highest frequencies
„ Reliability - Fiber is more reliable than copper and has a longer life
span
„ Secure - Fiber does not emit electromagnetic interference and is
difficult to tap
Optical fiber is composed of several elements. The construction of a fiber
optic cable consists of a core, cladding, coating buffer, strength member
and outer jacket. The optic core is the light-carrying element at the center.
The core is usually made up of a combination of silica and germania.
The cladding surrounding the core is made of pure silica. The cladding
has a slightly lower index of refraction than the core. The lower refractive
index causes the light in the core to reflect off the cladding and stay
within the core.
Index of refraction is the ratio of the velocity of light in a vacuum to the
velocity of light in a material. The speed of light in a vacuum is equal to
300,000,000 meters per second.The higher the index of refraction, the
slower the speed of light through the material.
Index of Refraction = Light velocity (vacuum)
Light velocity (material)
For example:
Air = 300,000,000 meters/second
IR = 1
Glass = 200,000,000 meters/second
IR = 1.5
Fiber is either single mode or multimode. Fiber sizes are expressed by
using two numbers: 8/125. The first number refers to the core size in
microns. The second number refers to the core size plus the cladding size
combined

UMA Overview
Unlicensed Mobile Access (UMA) technology provides access to GSM and GPRS mobile services over unlicensed spectrum technologies, including Bluetooth and 802.11. By deploying UMA technology, service providers can enable subscribers to roam and handover between cellular networks and public and private unlicensed wireless networks using dual-mode mobile handsets. With UMA, subscribers receive a consistent user experience for their mobile voice and data services as they transition between networks.
In order to promote the widespread adoption of UMA technology, a number of leading companies within the wireless industry have jointly developed a set of open specifications. These specifications are available through this Web site, and may be used by vendors and carriers of wireless communications systems and applications to develop and deploy interoperable solutions.
In addition to developing and maintaining the initial specifications, the participating companies are actively working with the 3GPP standards organization to use the specifications as the basis for the development of a formal standard.
How UMA Technology Works
A mobile subscriber with a UMA-enabled, dual-mode handset moves within range of an unlicensed wireless network to which the handset is allowed to connect.
Upon connecting, the handset contacts the UMA Network Controller (UNC) over the broadband IP access network to be authenticated and authorized to access GSM voice and GPRS data services via the unlicensed wireless network.
If approved, the subscriber’s current location information stored in the core network is updated, and from that point on all mobile voice and data traffic is routed to the handset via the Unlicensed Mobile Access Network (UMAN) rather than the cellular radio access network (RAN).
ROAMING: When a UMA-enabled subscriber moves outside the range of an unlicensed wireless network to which they are connected, the UNC and handset facilitate roaming back to the licensed outdoor network. This roaming process is completely transparent to the subscriber.
HANDOVER: If a subscriber is on an active GSM voice call or GPRS data session when they come within range (or out of range) of an unlicensed wireless network, that voice call or data session can automatically handover between access networks with no discernable service interruption. Handovers are completely transparent to the subscriber.

Telecommunications engineering
Telecommunications engineering or telecom engineering is a major field within Electronic engineering. The work ranges from basic circuit design to strategic mass developments. A telecommunication engineer is responsible for designing and overseeing the installation of telecommunications equipment and facilities, such as complex electronic switching systems, copper telephone facilities, and fiber optics. Telecom engineering also overlaps heavily with broadcast engineering.
Telecommunication is a diverse field of engineering including electronics, civil, structural, and electrical engineering as well as being a political and social ambassador, a little bit of accounting and a lot of project management. Ultimately, telecom engineers are responsible for providing the method that customers can get telephone and high speed data services.
Telecom engineers use a variety of different equipment and transport media available from a multitude of manufacturers to design the telecom network infrastructure. The most common media, often referred to as plant in the telecom industry, used by telecommunications companies today are copper, coaxial cable, fiber, and radio.
Telecom engineers are often expected, as most engineers are, to provide the best solution possible for the lowest cost to the company. This often leads to creative solutions to problems that often would have been designed differently without the budget constraints dictated by modern society. In the earlier days of the telecom industry massive amounts of cable were placed that were never used or have been replaced by modern technology such as fiber optic cable and digital multiplexing techniques.
Telecom engineers are also responsible for keeping the records of the companies’ equipment and facilities and assigning appropriate accounting codes for purposes of taxes and maintenance. As telecom engineers responsible for budgeting and overseeing projects and keeping records of equipment, facilities and plant the telecom engineer is not only an engineer but an accounting assistant or bookkeeper (if not an accountant) and a project manager as well.
This article provides an overview of the major field, telecommunications engineering. Readers might be interested to have a look at electronic engineering and broadcast engineering which are heavily related to telecommunications engineering and often taught together in different academic institutes.

What is Knowledge
•Objective:-
1:- What is Knowledge?
2:- Who owns it?
3:- How can it be best be "Taught" or "Transmitted"
1:- What is "Knowledge"?
• Knowledge is a human ability and not an object’s aspect, as for example, a book. Its transmission involves an intellectual process of education and learning. To transmit information is easy, more than to transmit knowledge. This entails that when we talk about knowledge managing, we mean that we help people to carry out this activity.
• Knowledge has no value if it remains static. It only generates value while moving, that is to say, when it’s being transmitted or converted.
• Knowledge generates knowledge through the use of reasoning or inference (both by humans and machines).
• Knowledge is structured and created; it needs the existence of rich semantic relations between abstract or material entities. A simple database, however records it has, does not constitute knowledge per se.
• Knowledge is always slave of a context. So, to its transmission is necessary that addresser (teacher) knows the context or model of the addressee’s (trainee) world.
• Knowledge can be explicit (when it can be collected, manipulated and transferred easily) or tacit. This is the case of heuristic knowledge that comes from accumulated individuals’ experience.
• Knowledge can be formalized at different levels, even being informal. The most part of verbal knowledge transferred is informal.
• Knowledge is the ability to convert data and information in effective actions.
• "Knowledge" (In the view of Genius People of World):
(i) Hazrat Muhammad Mustafa (S.A.W.W):
• We have to gain knowledge from cradle to grave.
(ii) Hazrat Ali Ibn-e-Imran (A.S):
•Wisdom is the noblest heritage; theoretical and practical knowledge are best marks of distinction.
•The knowledge is very superficial which remains only on your tongue; the intrinsic merit and volume of knowledge is that you act upon it.
•There are many educated people who have ruined their future on account of their ignorance of religion. Their knowledge did not prove of any avail to them.
•Your supremacy over others is proportion to extent of your knowledge and wisdom.
(iii) Alexander Pope:
• A little learning is a dangerous thing; drink deep, or taste not the Pier Ian spring: there shallow draughts intoxicate the brain, and drinking largely sobers us again.
(Probably the source of the saying, "a little knowledge is a dangerous thing)
(iv) Anais Nin:
• The possession of knowledge does not kill the sense of wonder and mystery. There is always more mystery.
(v) Bertrand Russell:
•The good life is inspired by love and guided by knowledge.
(vi) Daniel J. Boorstin:
•Knowledge is not simply another commodity. On the contrary, Knowledge is never used up. It increases by diffusion and grows by dispersion.
(vii) Dean William R. Inge:
• The aim of education is the knowledge not of fact, but of values.
(viii) Frank Herbert:
• The beginning of knowledge is the discovery of something we do not understand.
(ix) Horace Mann:
• Virtue is an angel, but she is a blind one, and must ask Knowledge to show her the pathway that leads to her goal.
(x) James Madison:
• Knowledge will forever govern ignorance; and a people who mean to be their own governors must arm themselves with the power which knowledge gives.
2:- Who owns the knowledge?
Knowledge or wisdom is really properties of a faithful follower of God, Though lost to him, get back though you may have to get them from apostates. Value of each man depends upon the knowledge and skill which he has attained. Knowledge is power. It is truth because it gives us strength. Knowledge gives us sense to live in the world. It teaches us how to deal with people and how to come on over problems. Without knowledge man is like an animal. He does not know the social and religious manner. One can live without money but it is difficult to live without knowledge. So every one should love to gain knowledge as it makes us strong able and powerful.
The human minds are receptacles of the secrets of knowledge and wisdom and best receptacle is the one which can hold the most and what it holds it can preserve and protect in the best way. Therefore, there are three kinds of people, one kind is of those learned people who are highly versed in the ethics of truth and philosophy of religion, second is the kind of those who are acquiring the above knowledge, and the third kind is that class of people who are uneducated. They follow every pretender and accept every slogan; they have neither acquired any knowledge nor have secured support of firm and rational convictions.
Knowledge is better than and superior to wealth because protects you and you have to guard wealth; because wealth decreases if you keep on spending it and knowledge increases the more you make use of it; and because what you get through wealth disappears as soon as wealth disappears, but what you achieve through knowledge will remain even after you ( science, philosophy and arts are still there in this world though scientist, philosophers and men of art have died thousands of year back). Knowledge is power and it can command obedience and following; a man of knowledge during his life time can make people obey and follow him and he is praised and venerated after his death; remember that knowledge is a ruler and wealth is its subject.
Those who amass wealth though alive yet are dead to realities of life and those who gather knowledge will remain alive through their knowledge and wisdom even after their death; though their faces may disappear from the community of living beings yet their ideas, the knowledge which they had left behind them and their memory will remain in the minds of men. The knowledge which they have acquired has made them see the realities and visualize the truth, and has instilled into them the spirit of faith and trust. The duties which were decreed as hard and sufferable by ease loving and easy going people are considered easy and bearable by them. They feel happy in the company and association of things which frighten the ignorant and uneducated. They live in this world like everybody else but their souls sour the heights of heavenly eminence. So it can be say that "One who acquires vision becomes wise, and one who attains wisdom achieves knowledge".
3:- How can it be best be "Taught" or "Transmitted"?
The word knowledge we are talking about is sufficient to be taught as compared with transmission, because we can be knowledgeable by others knowledge but we can not be wise by others wisdom. So it is clear point to explain this phenomenon that knowledge should be taught.
All schools, all colleges, have two great functions: to confer, and to conceal, valuable knowledge. The theological knowledge which they conceal cannot justly be regarded as less valuable than that which they reveal. That is, when a man is buying a basket of strawberries it can profit him to know that the bottom half of it is rotten.
Society, community, family are all conserving institutions. They try to maintain stability, and to prevent, or at least to slow down, change. But the organization of the post-capitalist society of organizations is destabilized. Because its function is to put knowledge to work -- on tools, processes, and products; on work; on knowledge itself -- it must be organized for constant change.
Types of Knowledge Transfer:-
(i) Socialization:- The very basis of sharing knowledge and experiences.
(ii) Externalization:- The process of turning tacit knowledge into explicit knowledge. The knowledge, metaphors or analogies of individuals who have already learned the processes is passed on to neophytes.
(iii) Combination:- The creation of more explicit knowledge by gathering knowledge from other organizations.
(iv) Internalization:- The process of turning explicit knowledge into tacit knowledge by becoming proficient at a process to the extent where we can develop some simpler methods of achieving the same result, or achieving the result in less time.
Conclusion:-
So it is concluded that it is good to transmit knowledge but it is best to taught it because while transmitting we don't care about what is actually right or wrong. We will as it is but while teaching knowledge the pupil will other facts and realities and they will also try to find out the truth behind the world and after this they will fully aware from the heights of skies and depth of oceans.

New Year--A New Beginning
“Another fresh new year is here . . .
Another year to live!
To banish worry, doubt, and fear,
To love and laugh and give!
This bright new year is given me
To live each day with zest . . .
To daily grow and try to be
My highest and my best!
I have the opportunity
Once more to right some wrongs,
To pray for peace, to plant a tree,
And sing more joyful songs!”
Another year to live!
To banish worry, doubt, and fear,
To love and laugh and give!
This bright new year is given me
To live each day with zest . . .
To daily grow and try to be
My highest and my best!
