Paving the way for terabits per secondIncreasing digitalization is generating a growing need for high data speeds. But the limits of what’s physically possible are coming in sight and there’s no bending the laws of nature. How do we protect signal integrity and yet realize high speeds – and all this within acceptable project budgets? |
