Worst of all in the purchase of new equipment? Correctly its network connection and connecting the various colored wires that tangles faster than you have time to get them out of the box.
If you ever had to appeal to the indifferent heavens during connect dozens of gadgets at home or office, just imagine what it’s like to try to connect one wire to the two continents, which shares the Atlantic. It succeeded the two technology giants, Microsoft and Facebook, the telecommunications Corporation Telxius paved in the ocean is amazingly powerful, high-speed cable length of 4000 miles at a depth of 17,000 feet.
The submarine cable has even received its own name – Marea. The cable weighs more than 10 million pounds, which, according to Microsoft, corresponds to the weight 34 blue whales. Its main feature is that it is able to transmit data with incredible speed. The cable has a bandwidth of 160 terabits per second. So that the audience could imagine the speed more clearly, a Microsoft representative said that the ability cable is enough for streaming 71 million HD movies at the same time. It is about 16 million times faster than average home Internet connection. Impressive, isn’t it?
The aim of the Marea project simple and predictable to speed up communications between the United States and Europe. Points in Virginia and Spain is committed to meet at least part of the growing demand for bandwidth required for the ever-expanding Internet infrastructure. Microsoft in his blog notes that cloud services will become one of those things that cable make it work better and faster.
However, the fact that the cable laid in the water column does not mean that it will start working immediately. Marea will not be used for data transmission until 2018, and this is another reason to wait for the new year holidays.
