This would provide urban and Valleys communities with
Terabit and Gigabit+ capacity and the lowest latency (55ms) and highest bandwidth connection to New York - also enabling the creation of 5G infrastructures and gigabit towns in the Welsh Valleys and rural areas of mid and north Wales ?
A decision on funding from the UK Government for the project is expected next spring Mr Thompson was pivotal in the initial business case for the Swansea Bay City Region's City Deal, which proposed the region making use of a proposed new
terabit capacity transatlantic cable [not the Hibernia Express] making landfall at Oxwich Bay, to drive a new wave of indigenous tech entrepreneurs, as well as attracting new businesses and investment into the region.
With the RCN, in addition to being a high
terabit cable system in two dedicated and diversified routes which will cater for the substantial growth expected in broadband subscribers in the UAE, we have yet another option to help maintain service should other cable routes be damaged."
<p>"Already, there is a need for 100-Gigabit Ethernet, and where we're going for our upgrades, there is already a need for 1
terabit," Lee said.
The 7750 Service Router (SR) and the 7450 Ethernet Service Switch (ESS) have been enhanced to deliver
Terabit performance in order to provide the bandwidth, scale and service awareness required to support the growing market for more personalized, broadband offerings such as IPTV, WebTV, Virtual Private Networks and 3G/4G mobile.
This technology, then, could offer
terabit storage capacities in small spaces.
Within 6 years, he suggests, data density may increase to 1
terabit per square inch, which is 16 times what it is today.
Long-range density projection approaches 1
terabit per-square-inch for magnetic disks.
It will have the capability to process data at a rate of one
terabit per second, equivalent to the data transmitted by ten thousand weather satellites.
The Time Warner network will also include combiner/splitters that make it "
terabit ready" and able to double its capacity to 1.5
terabits per second without interrupting service when and if demand for bandwidth requires the capacity expansion.
