An optical fiber ( or optical fibre) is a flexible, transparent fiber made by drawing glass ( silica) or plastic to a diameter slightly thicker than that of a human hair.

A leased line is a private bidirectional or symmetric telecommunications line between two or more locations provided in exchange for a monthly rent. Sometimes known as a private circuit or data line in the UK. Unlike traditional PSTN lines it does not have a telephone number, each side of the line being permanently connected to the other.

Microwave communication is the transmission of signals via microwave towers. Whether analog or digital, it is a reliable form of data transport. Learn how to monitor your microwave systems.

Millimeter waves occupy the frequency spectrum from 30 GHz to 300 GHz. They're found in the spectrum between microwaves (1 GHz to 30 GHz) and infrared (IR) waves, which is sometimes known as extremely high frequency (EHF). The wavelength (λ) is in the 1-mm to 10-mm range.

Free-space optical communication (FSO) is an optical communication technology that uses light propagating in free space to wirelessly transmit data for telecommunications or computer networking. "Free space" means air, outer space, vacuum, or something similar. This contrasts with using solids such as optical fiber cable or an optical transmission line.
