Once a month or so, I have the privilege of sitting down with Editor-in-Chief Elliot Williams to record the Hackaday Podcast. It’s a lot of fun spending a couple of hours geeking out together, and we ...

Last year, fiber-optic drones emerged as a game-changing technology in the Russia-Ukraine War. By transmitting data through fiber-optic cables, these drones are immune to the electronic warfare ...

Researchers at the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) demonstrated a quantum repeater module that addresses a key scalability bottleneck in fiber-based quantum networks. Transmission ...

Analog repeaters dramatically enhance millimeter-wave (mmWave) coverage in mobile networks by overcoming signal blockage, report researchers from Science Tokyo. As demonstrated in a field experiment ...

G&H (LON:GHH), a global leader in high-performance photonic solutions, will present its advanced fiber optics portfolio at the 2026 Optical Fiber Communications Exhibition (OFC), taking place 17–19 ...

- The world's first successful petabit-class transmission over more than 1,000 km using standard 19-core optical fiber, achieving a transmission rate of 1.02 petabits per second over a distance of ...

The PT765F-81-2TD has quite a reach. This multisource agreement (MSA) XFP optical transceiver can run at 10 Gbits/s over a range of 40 km—all without a repeater. Developed by NeoPhotonics, it can ...
