Kobbertelefonlinjer

Kobbertelefonlinjer, also known as copper telephone lines, refer to the traditional infrastructure used for transmitting voice and data communications over copper wires. These lines were the backbone of telecommunications networks for over a century, enabling telephone services and, later, dial-up internet access. The technology relies on sending electrical signals through copper cables to carry information. While effective, copper lines have limitations in terms of bandwidth and susceptibility to interference. The physical presence of these lines, often strung overhead or buried underground, was a defining characteristic of urban and rural landscapes for many decades. The maintenance and upgrade of these extensive networks represented a significant undertaking for telecommunications companies. With the advent of newer technologies like fiber optics, the role of copper telephone lines has gradually diminished, though they still exist in many areas, particularly for legacy systems or in regions where upgrades have not yet been implemented. The transition away from copper is driven by the superior speed, capacity, and reliability offered by alternative transmission mediums.
