Cisco, today, announced a new line of routers that could end up making your iPhone's data connection run faster.
The new line of routers, dubbed "CRS-3" is three times faster than previous Cisco Carrier routers and can provide up to 322Tbps (that's right 322 terabytes per second throughput). Electronista notes that much bandwidth could service the entire population of San Francisco with 1Gbps access.
These new routers could mean big news to customers like AT&T who could use them as the backbone of their landline and cellular data services to better serve their customers. This in turn could mean that areas with slow-to-non-existent cellular data (i.e. SF, LA, NY etc.) could see a boost in network reliability.
Of course, this is just high hopes as AT&T hasn't been mentioned as a possible customer. We might end up hearing more about the CRS-3, however, as it rolls out this summer.
