A Japanese company has developed technology to transmit a two-hour
movie in 0.5 seconds, the world's fastest speed achieved with
fibre-optic cables in the field, it said.
.
Kansai Electric used fibre-optic cables on power-transmitting steel
towers to achieve the speed of one terabit per second, which is more
than 100 times faster than inter-city data transmissions currently in
use, a spokesman said.
.
The company, Japan's second-largest power supplier, has not decided
when to put the technology into practical use but said it was possible
that it would come in 2010 or later, he said.
