40 Gigs (Gbps) BW Fiber at home

  By Paul admin | August 1, 2007 - 9:08 pm | Networking

I’m sure most IT folks have heard about this dude who hooked up a 40 Gbps fiber internet connection at his mom’s house. (for the CNN version of the story look here; http://www.cnn.com/2007/TECH/07/20/superfast.net.ap/index.html)

Here are the “Facts” being reported:

  • Speed 40 GBPS w/new modulation technique over fiber
  • Routers 1,240 miles apart, no intervening transponders
  • Karlstad Stadsnät (local council’s network arm & owner of Network)
  • Hafsteinn Jonsson (Mgr & network boss)
  • Sigbritt Lothberg (mother of cisco engineer, Swedish internet legend)
  • Peter Löthberg (cisco engineer)
  • Karlstad Sweden (location)

Please let me know if anyone find out some explanation of how this new modulation technique works.

I wonder if this guy has been reading stuff like this?
