Speed ​​up the Internet ... 100 times

The University of Sydney's breakthrough technology will likely allow users to download a movie in seconds or chat 's followers can chat with friends on tiny, cheap video cameras.

Scientists at the University of Sydney, together with colleagues in China and Denmark, have successfully developed a type of optical chip, which increases Internet speed by up to 100 times.

'Interestingly, this particular chip is simply a small piece of glass with many scratches. The structure is very simple and also very cheap to build, 'said Ben Eggleton, Director of the University of Sydney's Center for Broadband Optical Devices.

Prof. Ben Eggleton (in advance) introduced optical chips to break the Internet limit.

This simple but very efficient chip can remove the 'bottleneck' when information passes through optical fibers at the speed of light. This process is still being handled by obsolete, slow electronic devices.

Professor Eggleton said the information will be transmitted smoothly, no errors will occur and the speed of the Internet will increase significantly, even if users access from anywhere.

The small finger chip will be commercialized within the next five years, he said.
