Light Peak is not the name of any James Bond movie well its the code name of the new technology by Intel which revolves around data transmission rates.
we all know that Copper wires are used to send the data at a speed which less than the rate at which Optical fibers send the data.
Definately Optical fibres are very easy to send huge amount of data at a very brisk pace .
But with quality comes the Cost.Yes Optical fibre communication is costly.However they are extensively used in the connecting the different backbones in the internet.
Intel with its new technology "Light-Peak" aims at sending the data at the rate of 10GBPS.
yes Light peak is a new High speed optical cable technology.
It has the potential to transmit the data starting upto 100GBPS.
cool isn't it one can copy the entire blue ray disk in a matter of 30 seconds.
From Intel :"Light Peak also has the ability to run multiple protocols simultaneously over a single cable, enabling the technology to connect devices such as peripherals, workstations, displays, disk drives, docking stations, and more."
They'll be integrating these features in the pc motherboards and sony is also showing +ve signs for a collabration.
We can expect these light peak components by 2010.
with this technology by intel we can sure expect that the optical communication will no longer be used in the backbone networks it will someday be part of all the mobile devices,handheld devices etc.
