Engineers at NEC have come up with a new technique to boost the speed at which data can be transferred over USB to 16Gb/s. The new technology increases the upper speed of USB 3.0 from an already rapid 5Gb/s to 16Gb/s. A dual-layer DVD to be transferred under five seconds and an entire Bluray disc in just 25 seconds.
“This procedure greatly reduces the nearest-neighbor inter-bit interference in the signal waveform and thus successfully alleviates the issue of feedback-time constraint inherent in conventional equalizers,” NEC’s scientists claimed. NEC newly developed high-speed communication interface technology utilizing binary transmission schemes enable data rates of 16 Gb/s. Now the next step is to wait for the licensing bodies to license the new technology and open the doors for its use at a commercial level.
