If you believed that the connection through the optical fiber was fast, prepare for how new experts from the University of Southampton created. What they have developed is a new internet transmission system that promises to be more powerful A hollow wiring that transmits by 45% faster datawith unusual bandwidth and few losses.
Spain is a European and world leader in the field of deployment and acceptance of the FTT (fiber to the house, which means “fiber to the house” in English), the FTTth Council reports in January 2025. CNMC report (National Market Commission and Competition) Collects this Fiber -Optic Lines They exceed 16.4 million in our country (89% of the total), which put us to the fore.
Hollow cables for faster internet
A study published on September 1, 2025 in the Nature Photony scientific journal offers an alternative to traditional fiber cables. Instead of having a solid glass, a team of researchers of the British University stands for a new optical fiber with ‘Air kernel surrounded by glass microstructure Set -designed to guide the light. “
As shown in its publication, this approach will reduce the weakening and other phenomena that exacerbate the signal, as well as increase the transfer rate by 45%. Despite the fact that the action still needs to be seen, they note that in the theoretical part, its proposal offers a greater reduction in losses and increases the bandwidth. Researchers talk about possible “New era in long -dystonian communications.”
The current fibers lose about half the signal every 15-20 kilometers. For this reason, the infrastructure has tituers to enhance and broadcast information. In their study, Southampton experts tell about maintaining transfer Up to 33 kilometers Approximately.
Francesco Paleti, an employee of the study, notes that this new technology will save money without requiring so much repertoire. However, the type of cables that offer not only progress in distance but also in its transmission power. Hollow fiber core can transmit more data at greater speed Multiply by 1000 current power.
Production of hollow cables
Idea Use hollow cables It’s nothing new. However, a team of researchers managed to develop a more effective alternative than modern optical fiber, which is also more affordable. The difference is the design, with five small cylinders (each with two cylinders inside), which bind to a larger cylinder. This architecture only allows for certain waves lengths to get into the central channel and avoid light leakage.
The hardest thing was to produce this Big -Plenty StructureWithout harm to the geometry of their channels. When creating modern fiber -Aptic cables, solid glass should melt and stretch. However, the innovative cables offered by the Southampton researchers need to create a glass of a glass of about 20 cm in diameter. To maintain the hollow inside, the equipment had to use the pressure during stretching.
At the moment marketing is already processed and we know it Entertainment It will be responsible for the production of wiring for the new fiber. This company is a new firm that appeared with Southampton and was purchased by Microsoft in 2022.
Questions about the new sex fiber core The cable offered by the University of Southampton uses the air kernel surrounded by glass microstructure instead of solid glass. This makes the light move with less obstacle and faster. The new design offered by researchers offers data speed 45% higher than traditional fibers. In addition, the signal loss decreases, which reduces the relay.
