Fiber Optics Boost Idaho Co-op
includes links to other fiber optic projects underway
Further to fiber optics, here is an article explaining how and why Idaho is using fiber optics to supplement the powerline smart meter system. It provides faster, safer, more efficient means of data transfer - doesn't radiate, can't be hacked as easily, and WORKS BETTER IN HARD TO REACH PLACES LIKE MOUNTAINS!! Exactly the opposite of what B.C. Hydro is saying.
"Just outside the western entrance of Yellowstone National Park is a man-made marvel that's been making headlines recently, thanks to an electric cooperative.
"Encased in a 60-mile transmission line upgrade, the fiber optic network brings high-speed Internet to the region and boosts My Meter, the Ashton, Idaho, co-op's Web-based tool that helps members manage and track energy use . . .
"Using fiber optics communications as a data back-haul system increased the amount of information that can be collected frequently, and direct fiber access improved reliability and also enhanced the security of the member data collected," he said. "These are the advantages fiber gives us as a co-op" . . .
