The WeaveThis is a featured page

The Weave is a massive telecommunications network that encompasses the inhabited solar system, as far out as the mining colonies of the Belt and Jupiter Station. Despite its similarity to the internet of the late Twentieth Century, the Weave offers a far more immersive and intuitive experience than the earlier networks.

Origin

The Weave evolved from the remains of what used to be known as the World Wide Web (or simply 'the Web'), and was developed by a team of researchers led by Dr Ivan Vanderov of the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (MIPT).

In the first decade of the Twenty First Century it became increasingly apparent that the infrastructure used to maintain the World Wide Web was not growing fast enough to accomodate it's continuing expansion. As more people were connected to the Internet, the need for more storage space and faster lines of communication became obvious and teams from hundreds of Universities and corporate facilities worked on new techniques for compressing and transmitting the vast amounts of data involved. Unfortunately all of the solutions presented required lengthy and expensive upgrades to the telecommunications networks worldwide, a requirement that very few countries seemed willing to entertain. The breakthrough came in 2021 with the successful development of string networking.

String networking, often incorrectly referred to as quantum networking, uses a combination of (geographically) short cable networks (such as Twentieth Century telephone networks) and high capacity quantum channels to simultaneously link multiple isolated local area networks together.
