A research group in Japan will develop optical technology that will replace the Internet Protocol as the global standard in communications, a report said Sunday. It will aim to develop and commercialise in around 2015 a network that can transfer data at 10 gigabits per second, 10 times faster than the next-generation network due to be launched in Japan this year, the report said.
The optical network would allow as many as 100 billion devices to access it simultaneously and still enjoy extremely fast data-transfer speeds, the report said. Such features are important in the future when not only personal computers and mobile phones but also surveillance cameras, medical sensors and a range of other electronic devices are also likely to be connected to online networks.
This a good news to scientists exspecially in textiles industries, which aim to modernize textiles, embedded with a lot of devices and could monitor heart beat, temperature, etc.
