\"Alien<\/a>Researchers have used alien<\/strong> technology to demo a broadband<\/strong> technology that can hit 1.4 terabits per second.<\/strong> That is enough to send 44 high-definition movies in just one second over the existing fiber network in London<\/a> according to TechEye<\/em>. A team from BT<\/a><\/strong> (BT<\/a>) and\u00a0Alcatel-Lucent<\/a><\/strong> (ALU<\/a>) developed new infrastructure.<\/p>\n

\"British<\/a>The BBC<\/a><\/em> explained<\/a> that the researchers used a new \u201cflexigrid\u201d<\/strong> infrastructure. Flexigrid created an \u201calien super channel.<\/strong>\u201d The alien super channel was made of seven 200 Gbps channels, to vary the gaps between transmission channels. Increasing the channels\u2019 density resulted in a 42.5% increase in the efficiency of data transmission compared with current networks.<\/p>\n

Like adding more lanes of traffic<\/h3>\n
\n

Kevin Drury<\/a>, optical marketing leader at AlcaLu, told BBC news that the test was aimed at reducing space between lanes on a busy highway. He claims it is like adding more lanes of traffic<\/strong> to flow through the same path<\/strong>. He said that while wide lines can encompass heavy data transfers such as streaming video<\/a>, narrow lanes would be assigned for low-data transfers such as standard web pages.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\"increase<\/a>The test was conducted on a 255-mile (410km) fiber link between the BT Tower in central London and BT\u2019s Adastral Park<\/a> research center in Suffolk<\/a>. BT thinks it could help it to meet consumer and business demand for increased bandwidth.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, the mega-speed<\/strong> BT’s aliens<\/strong> developed is all backbone and core network<\/a> stuff. It will not change the speeds we the people will get at home.<\/em><\/p>\n

Am I the only one that has noticed that none of the new broadband speed records do<\/a> not<\/a> happen<\/a> in the U.S<\/a>.? The power of monopoly.<\/em><\/p>\n
