Future Internet: Ten Gigabits per Second Short
News High tech companies in Japan are investing substantial sums of money determining how to construct and commercialize a blazingly fast new internet platform, far faster than even upcoming technologies. The new technology would have the internet run on optical cable, allowing global data transfers of up to ten gigabits per second. At such a speed, a volume of data equal to a standard DVD could be transferred globally in less than half a second. It would also have the advantage of being able to have more than 100
billion devices hooked up to it simultaneously, and would not be particularly
affected by heavy network traffic. The project, if successful, could be
in widespread use by 2015.
