Scientists have Increased Fiber Optic capacity Nearly 20 Times
Jun 30, 2015
There's a lot of speculations and fears regarding the fiber optic network that delivers the Internet to your home and offices — What will happen when the fiber optic cables max out? Well, there is nothing to fear about it. Your Internet is Safe! Scientists at the University of California, San Diego, have recently managed to break the "capacity limits" of fiber optic networks, opening the door for faster, longer and potentially cheaper future networks. Increased Optic Signal Power by 20 Times The scientists not only broke the supposed limits of fiber optic data transmission, but also completely smashed it, increasing the power of optic signals by almost 20 times the base level. "This advance has the potential to increase the data transmission rates for the fiber optical cables that serve as the backbone of the Internet, wireless, cable, and landline networks," the UC San Diego News Center writes . Managed to Send the information 7,400 Miles ...
