A tiny solar panel in a cable: How fiber optics is changing the way power is transmitted
Earlier this month, communication specialists HUBER +SUHNER launched a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) that powered an active antenna using fiber optics rather than more traditional copper wires, replacing in certain cases, power-over-ethernet (PoE) with power-over-fibre (PoF), for almost a decade. Doing so allows data and power to be transmitted over only one cable; now…
