Siemens sets network speed record

Germany's Siemens AG has set a new speed record for electrical processing of data through a fiber-optic cable, it said on Wednesday, opening the possibility of cheaper Internet and data networks.

Siemens said in a statement it had processed data using exclusively electrical means at 107 gigabits per second -- roughly two full DVDs per second -- and sent it over a single optical fiber channel in a 100 mile-long (161-kilometre) U.S. network, the first time outside of a laboratory.

Now .. apply that to teklom's sub cable and watch them say that it's full again.

Good thing it's closer to market than this then, since it's no longer in the laboratory.

The International community will soon use terms like these to describe a K*K telecom network...

"The Internet in country XYZ is "TELKOM" slow!"
