Transmitted in one second 5,000 movies!?

Uses the optical fiber, and is sent in one second's worth of data of 5 million movie, such as Hokkaido and the NTT team has announced. That the world record for high-capacity fiber-optic communication.

According to the team, the optical fiber that has been developed now, but there is only one path of the light inside, we have developed a fiber with the 12 new path. I reduced the percentage to devise a path arrangement, the optical signal is leaking wasted.

In addition, the combination of the technology to send information using the wave nature of light, data terabit one thousand per second hit a thousand times of 1 terabit per second is the capacity of an optical fiber, which is mainly used currently, I sent about 50 kilometers away.

Successful transmission distance this time, hit the relay distance between cities. Future, which aims to long-distance transmission of about several hundred kilometers.
