A new record: 57GBPS data exchange

A new record in the field of data exchange has been created with 57GBPS has been successfully exchanged through fibre-optic cables in USA.
With the ever-increasing computer usage among the public, the need for reliable large data exchanges has become essential and the capacity of data being exchanged is becoming larger by the day.
A research team from the state of Illinois, USA has been doing research on large capacity data exchanges through fibre-optic cables.
The team has been successful in transferring data to the capacity of 57 GB through fibre-optic cables.
This is considered as a record. Until now, the data transfer of 40 GB in the year 2014 was the record.
A remarkable highlight of this successful data transfer is that it was done when the temperature was 85 degrees. This is a fairly higher temperature as data transfers at high temperatures mostly end in failure as data transfer requires low atmospheric temperature. Even if successful, it takes a longer duration at high atmospheric temperature and usually, it fails.
With this development, it is worth mentioning that with high speed large data transfers becoming practical, it can be expected that computer information exchanges will happen at incredible speeds. It is also feasible that the time taken for virtual reality, etc will be greatly reduced.
