Japan breaks world internet speed record with 1.02 petabits per second, enough to download all of Netflix in one second.
IN A NUTSHELL 🚀 Japanese researchers have achieved a record-breaking data transmission of 1.02 petabits per second over 1,118 miles using a 19-core optical fiber. 🔬 The innovative fiber acts like a 19-lane superhighway, allowing vast amounts of data to flow simultaneously without increasing the fiber’s diameter. 🌐 This technology promises to support future demands
This remarkable feat not only sets a new world record but also lays the foundation for a future where data transmission keeps pace with the burgeoning demands of AI, virtual reality, and the Internet of Things. To counter signal weakening over long distances, researchers developed a sophisticated amplification system, ensuring each core was amplified simultaneously across different light bands. The flexibility and practicality of maintaining standard fiber sizes while achieving unprecedented performance are crucial for widespread adoption, presenting a viable solution to the anticipated data traffic surge.
