FOTS: Fiber Optics Transmission Systems
Fiber Optics Transmission Systems (FOTS) is a type of data transmission using electromagnetic energy in the form of light waves. Such systems are termed to be photonic, although they actually are Electro-Opto-Electronic (EOE) in nature, as the signal both originates and terminates in systems that are electrically based. FOTS generally are digital in nature, although in rare instances they can be analog.
