As smart phone, mobile device and Internet usage continues to grow rapidly, the growth of fiber-optic networks is exploding to keep up with rising demand for bandwidth.

With bandwidth becoming an ever more vital commodity, Microsoft and Facebook plan to construct a new trans-Atlantic cable to meet the increasing demands of their customers.

What is Fog Computing?

When referring to telecommunications infrastructure, “the last mile” is a highly debated topic that questions exactly where the responsibility lies to upgrade the “last mile” from an internet service provider (ISP) to the end-user.

In 1966, Sir Charles Kao discovered laser light’s ability to transmit data at tremendous speed. Consequently, most of the communications data moving around the world

An astonishing new world record speed for optical data center communications has been accomplished in Hong Kong. The new record of 240 Gbps allows up to 10,000 people to stream 4k video simultaneously, providing a vast improvement over the current technology which can only accommodate 400 people.

Large and complex data center infrastructures are an engineering marvel of intricate computing technology.

A research team at the University of Illinois have reached a new milestone in fiber optic data transmission.
