Scientists Hit 301,000 Gbps Internet by Tapping New Fiber Wavelength Bands
Scientists in the UK say they’ve developed a way to beam internet speeds at 301,000 Gbps over a single, standard optical fiber. Researchers at Aston University did so by tapping new wavelength bands — or essentially additional colors— not used in current optical fiber cabling. “Broadly speaking, data was sent via an optical fiber like a home or office internet connection,” said Ian Phillips, one of the Aston University researchers on the team.
