Researchers create fiber network that operates at 99.7% speed of light, smashes speed and latency records

2013-03-25 14:15:27| Extremetech

Researchers at the University of Southampton in England have produced optical fibers that can transfer data at 99.7% of the universe's speed limit: The speed of light. The researchers have used these new optical fibers to transfer data at 73.7 terabits per second -- roughly 10 terabytes per second, and some 1,000 times faster than today's state-of-the-art 40-gigabit fiber optic links, and at much lower latency.
