60X Faster Internet Monday, July 14, 2008 - Anuradha Menon Home >> News >> Hardware

Scientists at the University of Sydney have developed a switch that would allow the internet to become 60 times faster than current networks. Taking four years to complete, the switch is created using a small scratch on a piece of glass. The scratch will mean almost instantaneous error free access to the internet anywhere in the world, announced by Centre for Ultra-high bandwidth Devices for Optical Systems (CUDOS) at the Opto-Electronics and Communications Conference (OECC) held in Sydney this July.

Using photonic technology that has terabit per second speed, the circuit uses the scratch as a guide or a switching path for information. Similar to when trains are switched from one track to another, this switch takes only one picosecond to change tracks. Therefore in one second the switch is turning on and off about one million times. With the current prototype proving to achieve speeds 60 times faster than current Australian networks, the development team is confident that with further work the future of the technology looks promising. As we move towards faster and faster networking there will be ever higher demand for instant web gratification and photonic technology might be the way towards delivering those needs. TFOT has previously covered P4P – next generation P2P, an advancement to file sharing technology. The system has the ability to make internet service providers (ISPs) and peer-to-peer (P2P) software providers work together in order to deliver data in a more efficient manner. TFOT also recently covered the world's smallest transistor, where graphene is carved into tiny electronic circuits with individual transistors not much larger than that of a molecule. Additional information on the new scratch switches can be obtained at the University of Sydney’s website. |

I think that there's no reason to accomplish the expository essay by your own efforts! In fact, that's easier to purchase the essay thesis at the essays online service, just because that can save free time. |
