Prof Wang and his group have developed a data communication protocol, which beats classic ones by a factor of 25 over a real-world link of 10,000 km. This protocol is the first of its kind worldwide. Best of all, this protocol requires no changes in the way users work with their applications since it conforms the existing IT infrastructures. During his presentation, he is going to show videos of using this protocol to accelerate applications, ranging from Office, Database, Web Browser to Media Player.
