With the telecommunications industry changing by leaps and bounds, making T1 lines, Ethernet and VOIP more cost affective to companies are changing from the old infrastructure saving themselves big money each month on phone, data, and internet services. In the late 1990s it was discovered that the real cost of building the fiber optics network was the installation of the cable and not the cable itself. The Intelligent or Smart switch allows limited modification; while the Enterprise Managed or Fully Managed switch allows full settings control. Fiber optics offered a great advantage over former ways of transmitting information over copper wires. Convergence is known as combining or converging voice, data and video onto a single telco network. Fiber optic network costs have been reduced for Ethernet Metro, OC1, OC3, OC12, OC48, OC192 and Gigabit Ethernet services.
