So you think your Internet connection is fast? It might be, but you'd be hard pressed to beat a carrier pigeon for transfer speeds. At least that's what a group of Israeli self proclaimed "Internet Addicts" say. They took a group of 3 homing pigeons and bundled them up with memory cards with a total memory of 4 Gigabytes. Then they set the pigeons on their track to home, resulting in a - get this - TCP (Transmission by Carrier Pigeons) rate of 2.27 Mbps (Mega bit per second)!
"The TCP (Transmission by Carrier Pigeons) was carried wirelessly, in three packets, each consist of 1.3 GB, delivered by a different pigeon. The conditions of the experiment were clear: "The time of the transmission would be measured by the last pigeon to arrive; the data contained in the memory cards would be available and readable at the destination". No external sources of energy, such as batteries or electrical extension cord were to be used! The technology eliminated the need for cat 5 or fiber-optic cables!"
Nieuw alternatief voor Adsl2Fit???
