Researchers from Aston University in the UK have successfully transmitted data across standard fiber optics at 301,000,000 megabits per second, shattering speeds included in broadband performance reports published by Ofcom in 2023. To achieve the exponential increase in speed, Aston's Institute of Photonic Technologies Professor Wladek Forysiak worked closely with Dr. Ian Phillips to utilize wavelength bands previously unused in today's fiber optic systems. Two years ago, Japanese researchers from the National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT) set a data-rate world record after reaching transmission speeds of 1.02 petabits per second, or 1,020,000,000 megabits per second.
