Scientists have developed a new device that won't let Internet speed drop It enables dedicated data rates at more than 10,000 megabits-per-second The data is transmitted using different wavelengths, or colours, of light Slow Internet and 'rush hour' - the peak time when data speeds drop by up to 30 percent - could soon be history, thanks to scientists who have developed new hardware that consistently provides high-speed broadband connectivity. The new technology enables dedicated data rates at more than 10,000 megabits-per-second (Mb/s) for a truly super-fast, yet low-cost, broadband connection, researchers said. "By 2025, average speeds over 100 times faster will be required to meet increased demands for bandwidth-hungry applications such as ultra-high definition video, online gaming, and the Internet of Things," said Sezer Erkilinc, from University College London in the UK. "The future growth in the number of mobile devices, coupled with the...
