#2Please note, this is for a Square Kilometer Array pathfinder (the Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder, ASKAP), not the Square Kilometer Array. Construction hasn't even begun on the latter, AFAIK.

#4Actually, it generates 5.2TB/sec.
"Its antennas are now churning out 5.2 terabytes of data per second"
Re: The Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder hits the big-data highway
#55.2TB/s not Tb/s. BIG difference!
Re: The Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder hits the big-data highway
#6For Americans, that's 2.00773TB/s per Square Mile.

I think you mean 13.468 TB/s per square mile.

Are those Metric terabytes (1000^4), or in freedom units (1024^4)?

#9Actually, it generates 5.2T B /sec. "Its antennas are now churning out 5.2 terabytes of data per second"
Either case, I doubt it is "15% of the internets current data rate" as they claim. E.g. the newish submarine cable between the US and Japan has 60 Tb capacity. And that's just one cable.

A large chunk of that capacity will be for private use, not for the capital-I Internet. 280Tbps is about right for interdomain Internet traffic, it lines up with Cisco's predictions/measurements: http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/solutions/collateral/service-pr...
