Fiber optic connection
In doing so, Connect4Hasseltprovided a fiber optic connection to the student residence in question.
This connection was made from the connection manhole at street level (photo) with then a private slot to the building.
In this way, the customer can directly inject a light signal into the fiber pair between the 2 buildings. Light speed is the fastest method of transmission. This eliminates the need for delaying electronics which provides an extra low latency. In addition, the user is not disturbed by others on the line.
For our students, the advantages in terms of comfort and reliability are great:
- Faster loading of Internet pages
- No congestion/file up along the way in the network. After all, the signal is not shared with 100+ others, as with traditional service providers
- For gamers, a significant positive difference in speed compared to traditional copper wire
