New record set for fastest data transmission -- 2.56 terabits a second {Engadget}
Mar 26th 2006 11:55AM "the fastest high-speed links currently carry data at a maximum 40 Gbit/s"
Sorry but this is wrong, 40Gbit/s was surpassed a long long time ago.
Marconi Communications manufactures and sells DWDM equipment (Dense wave division multiplexing) which in essance puts 80 wavelengths of light each carrying 10Gbit/s down one fibre, so 80 x 10Gbit/s equals 800Gbit's, so 20 times faster than what this article would have you beleive.
This equipment - known as "PLT80" which means "photonics line terminal 80 wavelengths", has been sold and used in the UK and Europe for the last 5 years - British telecom has them, as does Cable & Wireless (The part that was formerly Energis).
None the less, 2.5 Tereabits is not to be sniffed at, it's just 3 times faster than what is currently being sold and manufactured NOT 50 odd times faster!
