pipedreams Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 Not going happen overnight but a significant break through. "Using only a single light source, scientists have set a world record by transmitting 1.8 petabits per second. Their data transmission method uses significantly less power and can help reduce the Internet’s climate footprint." https://www.technocracy.news/boom-single-chip-can-transmit-twice-the-throughput-of-entire-internet/ https://www.dtu.dk/english/news/all-news/new-data-transmission-record?id=213f1735-036d-44c9-b229-d25d74dd3f02 "The researchers’ solution bodes well for the future power consumption of the Internet. “In other words, our solution provides a potential for replacing hundreds of thousands of the lasers located at Internet hubs and data centres, all of which guzzle power and generate heat. We have an opportunity to contribute to achieving an Internet that leaves a smaller climate footprint,” says Leif Katsuo Oxenløwe. Even though the researchers have broken the petabit barrier for a single laser source and a single chip in their demonstration, there is still some development work ahead before the solution can be implemented in our current communication systems, according to Leif Katsuo Oxenløwe." 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M&P15T Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 I'm ignorant on what positives could come out of this. Seems the tech has limited applicability. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be used in fiber optic cables handling digital communications between countries. This is the need for high data rates.

This is something behind the scenes that the average user will not realize, but will be a tremendous step forward. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
