nsane.forums Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 A team at the UK's Bangor University is working on a way to boost Internet speeds up to perhaps 40Gbps and is looking at ways to make such speeds affordable to the rest of the world. Google got a lot of media attention earlier this year when it officially announced its plans to bring 1Gpbs Internet service to both Kansas City, Kansas and Kansas City, Missouri. But if a team at a UK university is successful, those speeds will pale in comparison to what we may be able to get in just a few more years. The BBC reports that a team at Bangor University in Wales has developed a system that already facilitates speeds of 20Gbps and the team believes that can be boosted up to 40 Gbps. They claim their method won't cost a lot of money. The Bangor team has developed a method called Optical Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing. The team says its system should solve the problem of errors popping into the data when a fiber optical cable gets longer and longer. According to them, the OOFDM method can both code and decode data signals "on the fly." According to Bangor Uni's Dr. Roger Giddings, "This is the only system that we know of in the world that we can demonstrate working in real-time - with a real-time transceiver and a real-time receiver." So in just a few years, you could be surfing the web with pages popping up almost instantly, downloading full games and HD movies in just a few seconds and, hopefully, enjoying stutter free web-based voice and video calls. Maybe. View: Original Article Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nIGHT Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 I hope in my country greed will not hinder or delay the implementation of this technology if it becomes available. Recently, 4G LTE is out and the towers are already been upgraded (40mbps to 100 mbps).But currently, access to these sort of service is quite exclusive and unavailable for the masses.The specs for 4G LTE is a minimum of 100Mbps. They even get below that. I wonder if this 40GB internet speed technology will not be downgraded to 1GB speed when its starting to be implemented.

Administrator DKT27 Posted November 7, 2012 Administrator Share Posted November 7, 2012 This sums it up: Sure, for the first 100MB of data and then get capped right back to 100Kbps! Good ol'e VM, plus they'd probably charge £1k/month for this. Original article comment. ^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0veR Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Wow 40 GBps.One Bluray move 1080p about 12GB you download for one sec :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
