Verizon: 100G Network in 2009
March 11th, 2008
According to an article on Engadget, Verizon will begin deploying their 100G Network across the United States as soon as 2009… wow.
Apparently, Verizon has already tested the transmission capabilities which were considered a success: they achieved the 100 Gigabytes per second communication from Tampa to Miami Florida without disruption of competing signals.
While previous estimations were that a 40G network would be the next standard, the IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers) has already set the bar at 100G and dropped a 2009 or 2010 estimation date.
With that being said, Verizon appears to be the first company making a public run at deploying the increased speed nationally. Now remember, this isn’t for your MOBILE network but regardless, it is encouraging to see Verizon holding the torch in data speed. I mean… 100Gbps? That’s fast…
