Broadband network capacity could be boosted with new device

It has been reported that scientists have developed a new device that could help to boost broadband network capacity around the world by filtering out interference.

It has been reported that broadband network capacity in areas all around the world could be boosted as a result of a new device that is said to have been developed by scientists. The claim was made in a report from the BBC, which claimed that an EU team of scientists has developed the device, which includes auto tune software to filter out interference that is caused by other signals and amplifiers.

Officials that are involved with the development of the device have said that it can simply be plugged into existing fibre networks, and will then provide far better performance for activities that need high speeds and good connections, such as streaming content. The report also claims that the device could prove invaluable when it comes to boosting capacity with fibre links across long distances, such as the ones used to connect developing countries to the internet.

One industry official commenting to the BBC about the new device stated: “This may help to get faster internet to many African countries which have recently benefitted from a new fibre optic cable that runs around the sea border.”

The device, if it performs as is claimed, will make a big difference to broadband network users that conduct bandwidth hungry activities such as video streaming and online gaming, and this is because much of the interference that can slow things down and affect performance will be eliminated with the device.
