We would have to wait only for one year

Although for now this hypothesis may belong to science fiction movies, Finnish researchers claim that plans may become reality in only one year. The Finnish company Teleste may trigger a real revolution in the domain of broadband, and the average speed of data transfer supported by TV cable networks is to grow more than 50 times. However, in order to justify all these promises, the company has offered few details, trying probably to create first an advertising flux, which can attract more and more curious people.

Obviously, any offer, which promises great download speeds and browsing at broadband standards under the conditions in which is not necessary to invest huge amounts of money, sounds very good and the global tendency to adopt broadband connections, becomes more and more clearly highlighted.

It is known however that this solution offered by Teleste is based on a system, called Virtual Fiber. It is included in the cable provided by the television operator and makes the connection with an Ethernet source, which can assure the transfer of 10-20 or even 30 MBps, amount necessary for video programs broadband. Now the technology is to be tested within a project developed by Teleste together with a Hollandaise cable television operator.

The Ethernet signal is assured without involving a modem or any active device in the house and the user only has to connect the computer to the branch point, which includes both connectors for TV signal and for the internet. The same branching point divides the mixed signal in different streams for cable television and internet.
