Fiber eye arethe future of data transference . But in Germany , the hereafter ’s already here : Deutsche Telekom has aworking 512Gbps ocular fiberthat ’s working in the real earth . I want it .
The Internet of the time to come Will Be Powered by Optical RAM
Yes , that ’s a single ocular fiber . It ’s capable of hitting transmission system velocity of 512Gbps in test conditions , but real life-time read that down to a functional limit of 400Gbps . No matter : when a single fibril of optic fiber can stream what is the same as 77 350,000 CDs of music being trifle at the same metre , I wo n’t squabble over that dispute .
Most impressive is the fact that this is n’t a testing ground test piece of music ; this is being used over a 500 mile stretching , between Berlin and Hanover , alongside the company ’s usual 10Gbps product line . Deutsche Telekom explainsthat , if they rolled this out using their common 48 - channel optical fibers , they could achieve a throughput of 24.6Tbps on a cable thin than a human hair . lack . Want , want , want . [ Deutsche TelekomviaGigaOm ; double : kainet ]
