Sources have made a statement that the Internet is set to get four times faster via a device smaller than a pill. Meanwhile, the wonder chip could allow one to download the equivalent of a two-hour, 4K ultra-HD movie or 40,000 songs in a few seconds. Moreover, this is possible since the device could increase internet speed to 200-400 Gigabits per second (Gb/s) and that too at very low power and the breakthrough in boosting internet speed has been made at IBM lab, and the announcement came on Thursday.
Furthermore, the tech giant said that the device can be used to improve Big Data transfer between clouds and data centers four times faster than current technology. Though the unnamed device is only a lab prototype, for now, a previous version of this is licensed to Semtech Corp, a supplier of analog and mixed-signal semiconductors.
According to the statement, IBM scientists are now developing an ultra-fast and energy efficient analog-to-digital converter (ADC) technology to enable complex digital equalization across long-distance fiber channels. It cited the example of scientists planning to use hundreds of thousands of ADCs to convert analog radio signals that originate from the Big Bang 13 billion years ago to digital.
