If used throughout (in and out of) all telecommunicating devices, it could save (displace) tons of copper that is now being used.
Patent probably not finalized yet................
Fiber is expensive, verizon had to cut back on expansion because of earnings pressure. I believe they may be starting to do more transmission lines once again.
Copper is expensive too and people will steal it................
I work with some serious enterprise stuff, and I don’t know of any equipment that can send or receive data anywhere near that fast, ot even the internal memory bus.
...but you will likely see only 13bps on your modem still, as always.
I'm in IT as a career, so... things like this can have an impact on what I do.
Not so ironically... I have a client that could use this. Print company... having issues running Zoom due to... limited bandwidth on their ISP connections. They are maxing out their outbound pipe with more than 4-5 people on a Zoom meeting at once. We tried to tell them that Comcast broadband is fine if you are only downloading data... but upstream is very limited for what they are paying for...
It’s greener
Greed for speed...
That’s me!
I’m from the era when “speed” was accomplished by grabbing the stack of punch cards and running fast as hell across the campus to the computer facility...
Then waiting for days until I had to run fast as hell back to the computer facility to pick up 40-lbs of printouts and run fast as hell back to the physics department...
Yep- they will claim that it uses too much power to send all that info, and that it is ‘contributing to climate change’, and that is what is causing blackouts (instead of blaming their electric car mandates)
Of course, that’ll make it possible to go broke downloading every movie and audio recording ever made, in one day. :^)
I started with a 300bd and a cassette player to save/load :/
For multiple Zoomers they will have to go direct satellite like the big guys................
Yep!....................
I remember the job want-ads back in those days were full of advertisements for ‘key-punch operators’............
IMO it’s like DSL for fiber. Adding two additional wave lengths (of shorter signal) to the transmission bus. It’ll be deployed into high traffic/density areas. Doubt it won’t be deployed outside that for a while. Maybe when 2D 3D display comes of age.
Routers for one bottleneck. How do you buffer at the router choke point?
D . We is old aren’t we , load a page and go get a cup of coffee before it all loaded.....
Lol ;)
More like take a shower while we wait....
