Local scientists have developed a new internet technology that can send data up to ten times faster than the rate we enjoy in the present day. <br />It's expected to be fully commercialized by 2021... and is predicted to foster growth in 4D entertainment industries, including virtual reality.<br />Cho Sung-min reports. <br />Researchers at the Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute have developed a way to boost internet speed up to ten times faster than the current maximum transfer rate.<br /><br />The new technology can transmit data as large as 3-gigabyte in one second. The remarkable speed is equivalent to the human tactile sensing system.<br /><br />The developers reportedly were able to remotely control a robot that is sitting more than two-hundred-sixty kilometers away from their office in Daejeon using this technology.<br /><br />The groundbreaking development was possible by using a special fiber optic receiver module, which enables quicker transmission of vast amount of data.<br />It stabilizes transfer rate and prevents any slowdown or technical glitches that occur in people's computer or smartphones...when sending or receiving data. <br /><br />Developers say the technology would be made available commercially,...possibly in a next year or two.<br /><br />"We expect the technology to be fully commercialized in two years,...and once it hits the market, we expect it to be a key player in taking 5G technology to its full potential." <br /><br />Researchers expect the technology will help boost the one-person media business industry, social online platforms, and the 4D entertainment industry. <br />Cho Sung-min, Arirang News. <br />
