adults can take advantage of many free class- es offered online by local extension agencies or technology centers and universities.
Residents can have greater health care ac- cess and reduced expenses with a fi ber optic network. Imagine being able to have a face-to- face visit with your health care provider without leaving home. Elderly patients can use fi ber technology to supplement their health care by having a means of visual communication be- tween a home health provider and their doctor. Gone is the worry and risk of moving a pa- tient with limited mobility for routine visits or in inclement weather. FTTH can help keep older adults living independently longer. It is also a valuable tool for members of the “sandwich generation,” who are responsible for caring for both their children and elders.
Videoconferencing may be integrated with Internet-enabled diagnostic devices (blood pressure cuffs, respiration equipment, etc.), sensor-based home monitoring, electronic medical records systems, online prescription services and online appointment scheduling. Instant access to medical specialists located in large cities via videoconferencing from a home or care center becomes a real choice for north- east Oklahoma.
Communication without limits New, hybrid networks are popping up every- where you look these days as providers at- tempt to bring fi ber optics closer to their cus- tomers. Cable and phone companies often use fi ber to get close to homes and then employ co- axial cable for the last 100 to 1,000 feet. Many phone companies also bring fi ber within a few thousand feet of the home and use copper wire for the rest of the trip. Fourth generation, or 4G, wireless broadband, which is being deployed today, usually requires fi ber connections at cell sites.
While these new hybrid networks are an im- provement over older copper and wireless networks, installations that fi nish with copper or wireless technology have limited capacity. Squeezing more bandwidth from them be- comes increasingly diffi cult and expensive as time goes on. This isn’t true for fi ber optics, which has an effectively unlimited capacity. Providers all agree that unlocking the potential of broadband requires taking fi ber all the way to the subscriber’s door. This is precisely what BOLT Fiber Optic Services is doing!
Increased value If you fi nd yourself unable to stay in your current community and a move is in your fu- ture, property values increase with a FTTH network. Fiber connections make single-family >>
