Scientists hit a 301 Tbps speed over existing fiber networks
And, you thought a gigabit per second was fast!
The National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT) holds the current world record of 22.9 petabits per second, 75 times faster than the Aston University team's rate. As Ian Phillips, an Aston University professor and one of the scientists working on the project explained, "Before the development of our device, no one had been able to properly emulate the E-band channels in a controlled way." Professor Wladek Forysiak, who also worked on the project, added, "Growing system capacity by using more of the available spectrum—not just the conventional C-band but also other bands such as the L, S, and now E-bands—can help to keep the cost of providing this bandwidth down.
