Fibre optic network capacity maximized by device
A team of scientists funded by the European Union have shown off a prototype system that lets them substantially improve the data capacity of fiber optic networks. A Thursday report explained that the technology relies on reducing the amount of interference or noise caused by other signals and amplifiers, kind of like auto-tune software. The hardware that accomplishes this can be fitted to existing networks, its creators told the BBC.
