MultiDyne, a provider of fiber-optic video and audio transport as well as routing solutions, has developed a new optical matrix router that supports copper signals and fiber-optic multimode and single ...

A router that is particularly designed to handle fiber Internet is known as a fiber router, sometimes known as a fiber optic router. Fiber uses an optical fiber line to transmit infrared light pulses ...

Researchers in Spain, the Netherlands, and Canada have achieved a scientific milestone in the field of optical communications. After many months of research, they have succeeded in developing a ...

New molecules produced at Georgia Tech could enable engineers to build all-optical data routers, ultimately leading to transmission speeds as high as two terabits–or 2,000 gigabits–per second. Today’s ...

If a conventional T1 network linked the University of California campus here to its medical center in Sacramento, a 15-minute, three-dimensional CAT scan would take 55 years to send. With a ...

Lucent has launched what it says is the world's first high-capacity all-optical router, and claimed that it could direct network traffic up to 16-times faster than electrical switching. Lucent has ...

A piece of the future internet has surfaced in a lab in Japan: a memory chip that stores bits of light. Researchers at Japanese telecom giant NTT have built an optical random access memory (o-RAM) ...
