Record data transmission speed set by UCL researchers

A research team at University College London has set a new record for internet speed – double the data transmission speed of any system currently at use in the world. The university announced that the team, working with Xtera and KDDI Research, achieved a data transmission rate of 178TB/second: a speed at which one could… Read More


All-optical data centre within reach, claim UCL and Microsoft researchers

A new technique that synchronises computer clocks in under a billionth of a second could pave the way for “all-optical” networks, potentially leading to dramatically more efficient data centres.

All-optical networks use light photons instead of traditional electronic circuitry to transmit and route data between servers in a data centre.
