Realistically amazing, but landing something structured, like packets will take a lot more work.

Gonna need much lower energy consumption as ai ramps up and more data centers are created. A step in rigbt direction. The future to be scary good, or scary bad... and i want nothing to do with it! (But if possible ill stick arou d for a few more years and sse how the cards fall for zwhi.e :) )

Giga is a billion.

Light travels at 186284 miles per second, which is about a foot in a billionth of a second.

So the wavelength of 500 gbps would be 1/500 of a foot, or about 1/40 inch. Wow!

"“Transceivers are ‘ambassadors’, so to speak, between analogue and digital. They combine two functions: both sending digital data and receiving data from outside,” explained Maxim Weizel, a research associate involved in the project.

Transceiver = Transmitter + Receiver. So this device is used on the receiver side to extract information at high bandwidth. Nice but now we need a transmitter D/A that can modulate a digital signal on a 200 GHz carrier. I think the unstated value of this may lie in measurement of physical systems, surveillance and instrumentation come to mind.

I’ll tell you what’s interesting: Germany using Germanium.
