Alcatel-Lucent blows past data transmission record: 25.6Tbps

Data transmission records were just made to be shattered, as we’ve seen the benchmark go from 2.56- to 14- and now to 25.6-terabits per second within a year (and five days, but who’s counting?). The momentary record holder this time around is Alcatel-Lucent, which “successfully transmitted a world record 25.6Tbps of optical data over a single fiber strand’ using 160 WDM channels. In case you were wondering, that’s enough speed to send about 600 DVDs worth of information to your buddy in one single second, after which you’d likely destroy any and all functionality his / her computer previously had before the bombardment. Now, what’s it cost to run one or two of these pipes to Sealand?
