Speed record set in the laboratory, transmission range amounted to 20 meters.
For the first time in the world, data is transmitted at a speed of 100 gigabit per second. A technology that combines photonics and electronics, has become the basis for broadband wireless connections with record data rates. In recently conducted by German scientists an experiment of 100 gigabits of information in a second was transmitted at a frequency of 237.5 gigahertz at a distance of 20 meters in the laboratory. Previous speed record was 40 gigabit per second and transmitted over a distance of 1 kilometer. For Scientists have applied the photon method of creating a new world record radio signal in the transmitter. After the broadcast completely an integrated electronic circuit was used in and receiver.
“Our project focuses on broadband integration microwave communications in fiber systems, says the professor Ingmar Kallfass, coordinator of the Mililink project, the brainchild of the Institute Applied Solid State Physics Fraunhofer and Institute of Technology Karlsruhe (Germany). – The main advantage of the method is that the flow information transmitted through fiber optic systems can immediately Convert to high frequency radio signals. Especially this technology is of interest to rural and remote areas offering an inexpensive and flexible alternative to current fiber optic networks. ”
