Abstract
A data transmission network comprising: a base comprising: a base light source and a base light detector; a plurality of nodes, each node comprising a node light source and a node light detector; and a plurality of optical fibers arranged to form a optical fiber network. Each optical fiber is arranged to receive light from the base light source, transmit the light received from the base light source to one or more of the node light detectors via an air gap, receive light from one or more of the node light sources via an air gap, and transmit the light received from the node light source(s) towards the base light detector.
