Revolutionary Optical Chip from Nec

The Japanese Chip creator Nec, invented an optical chip for communications, very small who uses very low energy to send optical signals between servers and rooters.

Nec says that because of those chips, the send information will be 4 time bigger.So, the new chip supports 4 connections of 10 GB each with low resources of 0.6W.

The chip is 14 mm and 4,7mm, that means 10 time smaller than a normal chip.

The new chip can send signals for 100 meters between the servers and rooters.Nec hopes that will launch a commercial version on January 2010.
