Over the past few years, our level of Internet addiction has increased significantly.
We are used to connecting in a few seconds, to participate in business video calls, to live life in terms of digital. Sometimes, a good connection can make the difference between a successful presentation and a failing one.
The world of the Internet is getting bigger and more complex, requiring the support of an above average connection. Currently, a 1 Gbps connection is already very developed and fast. Imagine what you could do with a 10 Gbps connection, you would no longer run the risk of losing power.
Second Cable Labs , an innovation laboratory for the cable industry, it will be possible to achieve this within the next decade.
A new, hyper-fast Internet
Developers around the world are working to improve cable Internet services. Compared to its mobile counterpart (the famous 5G) the cable connection needs a little more attention. Problems? Those of always. For example, wired networks cannot be physically updated every time a change needs to be made. This is why efforts are all focused on data transmission, trying to improve the speeds of the cable Internet.
One of the most promising developments is the use of existing coaxial hybrid fiber (HFC) to deliver ultra-high speeds. It involves borrowing technologies generally used on long-range networks, and using them for tasks on existing fiber networks.
Leveraged in the right way and combined with wavelength division multiplexing, this innovative technology allows existing fiber resources to carry a much higher number of bits per second. Using these specifications, it was possible to achieve one connection speed of 10 Gbps during a test. A result that makes us enthusiastic and optimistic for the future.
