A Florida start-up company, ZeoSync, claims that it has achieved a mathematical breakthrough in compression technology that could revolutionize the way data is stored and transmitted. This new compression technology, once fully developed, can increase compression rates ten fold.

At this time the company has only worked with tiny data strings, but as they start scaling up the amount of data being used this could change the way a lot of our technology works and can change the world as we know it.

Imagine browsing the web on dial-up at the speed of a cable modem. That is a definite possibility, and it can be applied to many other things.

ZeoSync said that its discovery challenges the classic treatise on information theory, "A Mathematical Theory of Communication," published in 1948 and written by Dr. Claude Shannon. The gist of the theory is that information is limited by the capacity of the data channel over which it flows.

Using a technology it calls Zero Space Tuner combined with a Binary Accelerator, ZeoSync officials said they can reduce data that has already been reduced.
