English to Russian Tech/Engineering IT (Information Technology) internet capacity

David Richardson of the University of Southampton, UK, is investigating new fibres that contain multiple cores for transmitting data, effectively many fibres in one. These are more difficult to make than conventional fibres because the cores are tiny and must keep their shape across cables that can be kilometres long – but they’re capable of handling much more data.

Techniques such as these will be key to fighting capacity crunch, says Ellis. But if researchers can’t scale up and commercialise their solutions, rationing or other restrictions on internet use may be the only option.
