We are developing communication technologies that are optimised for areas where people live far apart from each other.
However, the detectors used to catch the light signals have to be small for attain high data rates.
When a laser signal hits the fibers, they release green light within two nanoseconds.
The light travels down the length of the fibers and is finally directed toward a small and fast photodetector.
This is not the first time that Connectivity Lab has created such a piece of hardware.
However, to take data to the sticks, the social internet is busy chasing lot of other projects.
Probably, anyone will be able to sign up on Facebook in this way.
