A team of researchers from the Technical University of Denmark used a single fiber optic cable (multi-core ) for transport 43 Terabits the second, creating the fastest network of fiber optics in the world. Google Fiber in front of him looks like a connection dial-up of 1996 from a telephone line.
How fast are 43 terabits a second? As he says Extreme Tech, this means you can download a movie 1 gigabytes in 2 milliseconds. When the eye blinks the time it takes is between 100 and 400 milliseconds. So you can download thousands Movies in the blink of an eye.
The DTU team used a single fiber made of materials from the Japanese telecommunications company NTT, and their technique is actually commercially viable. This research could (and should!) Be used to create much faster network connections.
