New fiber optic cable can be 100g / s transfer rate of data transmission. Recently, ge announced the completion of the world's fastest high-speed fiber optic line installation to help the company's industrial Internet program.
As a founding member of the Industrial Internet Alliance, ge's software scientists and developers have developed an industrial testbench that transmits 100g of data per second to support machines that are seamlessly connected across control systems, large infrastructures, and manufacturing plants And data transfer.
The network link for a home computer or mobile device typically transmits data at 15 m / s, the equivalent of downloading an HD movie at a time, in the face of a high-speed cable installed at GE's global R & D center, which transmits at speeds up to 100g / Second (ie 100,000m / s), equivalent to a single download of more than 6,000 movies.
Even with today's dramatic increases in computer processing speed, users still have to wait long downloads while downloading large files, sometimes taking minutes to complete. It is unthinkable to transfer an instruction containing a dataset a thousand times the size of a standard movie file to an industrial machine. With a 100g new line, the factory can instantly connect and control machines thousands of miles away.
According to Colin Parris, vice president of ge software research, the focus of ge software research is to drive real-time connectivity between large systems and to develop sophisticated control systems to improve product performance and efficiency. High-speed fiber optic cable speeds data transfer and increases data capacity within industrial Internet products and services.
