In a Technological Bet, Brazil Invests in the Development of a Chip That Promises to Improve Data Transmission Capacity in Networks, Boosting Connectivity and Preparing the Country for Digital Advancements. Learn More About This Innovative Initiative!

The Funding Agency for Studies and Projects (Finep), together with the Fund for the Technological Development of Communications (Funttel) and the Ministry of Communications, supports the development of an innovative chip that promises to revolutionize data transmission over fiber optics in Brazil.

Measuring just five millimeters, the device can process large volumes of data, achieving an impressive capacity of 1.2 terabytes per second (Tbps).

This advancement, created by the Center for Research and Development in Telecommunications (CPQD), opens doors for various applications planned for the internet of the future.

The Teranet Project and the Evolution of Optical Networks

The chip is the result of the Teranet project — Optical Systems at 1 Tb/s for the Internet of the Future, initiated in 2018. The goal of Teranet is to develop advanced solutions to increase the capacity and efficiency of optical networks in the country.

The project includes techniques for optical amplification, signal processing algorithms, and integrated photonics devices, all developed with a focus on high-capacity networks, such as 5G networks and future 6G networks.

This innovation becomes even more relevant with the growing demand for bandwidth in applications such as video streaming, augmented reality, and virtual reality, which require a robust and efficient infrastructure.

development, CHIP, Brazil — A Photonic Chip is a device that uses light (photons) instead of electricity to perform computational operations and transmit information

Advanced Technologies Applied to the Photonic Chip

The photonic chip, the core technology of Teranet, uses light (photons) instead of electricity to perform computational operations and transmit information.

Unlike conventional electronic circuits, which rely on electrons, the chip controls light through optical circuits, processing data with greater speed and efficiency. Some of the innovations applied to the device include:

Digital Signal Processing: a technique that helps optimize data transmission, reducing noise and interference.
Integrated Optical Transceivers: which combine transmitter and receiver in a single device, facilitating optical communication.
Extended Band Optical Amplification: a method that increases network capacity to support large volumes of data.
Flexible Optical Networks: with the ability to adapt to different demands and types of data, allowing for greater versatility.

These technological innovations make the photonic chip a fundamental component for the advancement of digital infrastructure, ensuring data transmission at high speeds and with lower energy consumption.

Functionality and Importance of the Photonic Chip

A photonic chip differentiates itself from conventional chips by using light for the processing and transmission of information instead of electricity.

This type of chip controls light in such a way as to perform operations much more quickly, representing a significant advance for energy efficiency and internet speed.

CPQD was responsible for designing and developing all the basic elements of the chip, including components capable of generating and receiving modulated optical signals at high speeds.

The small device is also integrated with an optical transponder, which sends and receives optical signals in a fiber and is essential for fiber optic communications.

Validation and Expectations for the Future of the Internet

The validation of the prototypes was conducted in the optical communication systems laboratory of CPQD, ensuring that the chip meets performance and reliability expectations.

According to the developers, the device will support not only the expansion of the Internet of Things (IoT) and the advancement of 5G and 6G networks but will also meet future internet needs, such as applications requiring extremely low latency and high transfer rates.

The oldest tree in the world, alive since before the birth of Jesus Christ, is cut down in a scientific study and the case changes environmental preservation rules.

Seen from space, an image taken by an astronaut shows an unlikely oasis in the Saudi Arabian desert, protected by a terrain that slows the advance of sand, surrounded by green circles, remnants of an extinct lake and nearly 10,000 years of preserved history.

While in Brazil a 10-story building takes 2 years to complete, in China a company stacks pre-fabricated modules and raises the entire building in just 28 hours and 45 minutes.

An entire island in the Pacific wants to surround itself with a colossal barrier against the ocean to try to escape increasingly violent waves and not be swallowed by the sea in the coming decades.

After ten days orbiting the Moon, science confirms that the astronauts of the Artemis II mission return with altered bodies.

With 7.4 trillion tons of artificial snow pumped in 10 years, an extreme operation could stabilize the West Antarctic ice sheet and prevent a sea level rise of more than 3 meters, but it would require snow cannons, ocean water, and energy on an almost industrial scale at the end of the world.

Peru built a tunnel at an altitude of 4,738 meters cutting through the Andes Mountains, and the road leading to it reaches 4,818 meters, making it the highest paved road in the entire world.

WEG opens a job vacancy for those who want to work from 4:20 PM to 1:15 AM as an Assembly Assistant in Bento Gonçalves (RS).

NASA releases the Rosalind Franklin mission and prepares the rover to search for signs of life on Mars while the thermal shield of the Orion capsule shows good condition during the reentry of Artemis 2.

While deserts are seen as unproductive areas, Morocco built the Noor Ouarzazate solar complex, one of the largest in the world, capable of supplying millions of people using only solar energy.

The United States raises a global alert by projecting a record electricity consumption of 4.244 trillion kWh in 2026, driven by artificial intelligence, data centers, and electrification, putting unprecedented pressure on networks, generation, and energy infrastructure.

China raises global alert again after banning Brazilian meat due to substance detection, increasing inspections, and raising the risk of new restrictions.
