Math can make internet up to 10 times faster

Mathematical equations can make Internet communication via computer, mobile phone or satellite up to 10 times faster and more secure than today, according to a new study. The method used by the Danish and US researchers in the study resulted in a four-minute-long mobile video being downloaded five times faster than state of the art technology. In experiments with our network coding of Internet traffic, equipment manufacturers experienced speeds that are five to ten times faster than usual,” said Frank Fitzek, Professor in the Department of Electronic Systems at Aalborg University and one of the pioneers in the development of network coding. “And this technology can be used in satellite communication, mobile communication and regular Internet communication from computers,” Fitzek said.
