RV_ Posted May 23, 2020 Report Share Posted May 23, 2020 Wow! For the vendors that have already laid fiber this is big. Even more so for transatlantic fiber cables etc. This will be happening. Like Tesla I am looking at it to see if it will get done. Excerpt: "On paper, it looks like a great idea. But to make sure their theory was sound, the researchers connected a prototype of the device to more than 76 kilometres (47 miles) of 'dark' optic cable run between two Melbourne university campuses. The team found they could max out the amount of data for each channel, demonstrating a potential top speed of 44.2 terabits per second from the device. Under ideal conditions with the right system, that would theoretically allow you to download 1,000 movies in a single second. All in high definition! The reality might not be quite as shiny as downloading all of Netflix in a blink, but with other potential improvements to internet technology on the horizon, even moderate jumps of several terabits per second over short distances are improvements worth paying attention to. "And it's not just Netflix we're talking about here – it's the broader scale of what we use our communication networks for," says Monash University computer systems engineer Bill Corcoran. "This data can be used for self-driving cars and future transportation and it can help the medicine, education, finance and e-commerce industries, as well as enable us to read with our grandchildren from kilometres away." If all goes well, data centres could be using these chips to connect to one another for faster communications. Maybe in a few years we might all say goodbye to transmitters that shunt data at a paltry few hundred gigabytes per second. Not just in Australia, but around the world."

mrschwarz Posted May 23, 2020 Report Share Posted May 23, 2020 I do have an unlimited phone with Visible. Would I need to upgrade to 5G for this speed?😁 Quote Michael 2017 Allegro Bus 45OPP Cummins ISL 450 Visit us at schwarz.org! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RV_ Posted May 24, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2020 Good one! I think it's a bit beyond 5G too.
