Internet at a very high speed of 640 Gbps

World is soon going to move to a fastest possible internet speed of 640 Gbps .... wonder how?

University of Sydney physicists have developed an optical chip that could potentially improve Internet speeds upto 100 times faster than the current network.

  • Uses Chalcogenide glass photonic chips.
  • Based on plain glass and so cheap to produce the chips.
  • Do not have to shell more more for the new technology.
  • Data rates equivalent to transmitting 17 complete DVDs per second! (Unable to believe this.)
  • Chips could be available in another 5 years.
  • Possible first deployment in Japan.

IBM: Switch to a new world

IBM announced that it has built a nanophotonic switch that can control flow of data on chip using pulses of light instead of electrons.

  • The nanophotonic switch is 100 times smaller than a human hair.
  • This optical switch is supposed to give greater performance and use less energy.
  • IBM says that using optical communication between the cores would dramatically cut processor's energy needs and the heat it emits.
  • IBM's dream to turn Super Computers to laptops may become a reality. So, by 2020 we may see Laptop Super Computers.
  • The new chip would require the energy required to power a light bulb as against the super computer, which would require energy to power hundreds of homes.

India: Is Internet connection slow? Don't blame India.

I always used to blame the Internet Service Providers (ISPs) in India - that they can never provide a stable and reliable internet connection, but now I understand that I was wrong. Blame it on International Bandwidth operators as they charge 2 times that of US and UK.

CD, DVD, HD-DVD, Blu-Ray and now TeraDisc...
TeraDisc seems to store 1 TeraByte (1024 GB) and would be available by 2010.
So, if you are planning for a Blu-Ray Disc Player then think twice :)
