View Full Version : 14 Tbps over a Single Optical Fiber
source here (http://www.ntt.co.jp/news/news06e/0609/060929a.html)
Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation (NTT, Chiyoda Ward, Tokyo, President and CEO is Norio Wada) has successfully demonstrated the ultra-large capacity optical transmission of 14 Tera bits per second (Tera is one trillion) over a single 160 km long optical fiber.

That is so bloody much! Speed of light ftw ^^

That's too much...the fastest PC today will be a bottleneck for that much bandwith, not to mention there is no content today that requires transmission of that much data that fast.
Colonel: "I need all 1 million of the high res 50 Megapixel sattelite images of iraq's battlefield RIGHT NOW !!"
Cadet: "But we still have 13GB/s of space left sir"
Colonel: "FILL IT UP WITH MY WEDDING VIDEOS I DON"T KNOW JUST FILL IT UP !!!!"

if just hard drives would have such a transferrate - now that would kick ass :D

that would have to be one huge ass Raid setup. Probably using 500-600 drives :slobber:

That's what I need to download next gen pirated HD movies without having to actually wait for them to download. Now I just need a large RAID array of next gen holographic storage HD's.....I could start my own pr0n server too a penny per clip or a dollar per film and I could retire....At least till I was hung upside down and pummeled to death by a marauding band of scientific computer hackers for blatant misuse of bandwidth...

whats wrong with blatant misuse of bandwidth? it might as well be used for SOMEthing...

The flaw with the concept is that even if 0.1% of the bandwith is redirected, thats 14Gb/s of bandwith that someone can use without them noticing. [1400kb/s dload :eek: ]

Streaming HD Quality video (And I mean true HD, not this 480i DVD garbage).

HD means 720p and up not 480i :p: 480i is SD

that actually doesn't surprize me at all. Expect that number to grow even higher...the problem is moving all that information, not sending it.

Hey, I am all for advancements such as this. I wouldn't doubt that in 10 years, a gigabit connection to the internet will be mainstream. We went from 14.4k to between 1.5 and 10 Mbit now (technically more with verizon FIOS, but ignore that for now) in about 10 years.
It will have use, but all in good time.

And i'm still going at 200Kbps :moon: :shocked:

Granted no average computer can even process this much, if its possible why not just go ahead and lay the groundwork for it? Thats one less thing to worry about in the future and as the computers begin to catch up with it, increase the offered speeds?
