The world's fastest internet was born in the laboratories of Pisa

PISA - Quattrocentoquarantotto Gbit per second. At this speed they are able to transmit data over the Internet to researchers at the Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna di Pisa with colleagues in the National Laboratory of photonic networks of the Inter-University Consortium for Telecommunications. In partnership with Ericsson, have developed data transmission over the Internet the world's fastest, which is the first system in the world that operates at 448 Gbit per second on a double optical carrier was added to a system of commercial fiber-optic network.

It is a technological solution partit5olare that transmits in a second, said in a statement of the School, "an amount of data equal to either 20 high-definition movies, 500 movies as standard, 22,500 DSL connections to 20 Mbit / s, 7 million of video or 100 million standard phone calls.

" The result was previewed recently at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. The research group has taken advantage of scientific expertise and the focused application of immediate interest to industry. "The system - the note concludes the Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna - will be tested in the coming months on network segments installed all over the world and then become Ericsson product portfolio, and then be used in most fiber optic communications systems" .
