Abstract:
Optical fibers are the choice of transmission medium for the high capacity telecommunication transmission systems of today such as Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH), giving a very high yield for the investment made. With the already established highly reliable power transmission infrastructure, together with the advancement of technology, the utilities have a very high potential market in the telecommunication carrier service. By replacing the ground wires of the overhead high tension transmission lines with Optical Ground Wires (OPGW), utilities can build-up a country-wide high capacity transmission network over a relatively very short time frame and a very low investment. This paper analyses the possibility of establishing an island-wide optical fiber transmission network for the Ceylon Electricity Board based on the OPGW technique
