While internet usage continues to increase all over the world, there are constant developments in speed. In the news we shared with you last year, we mentioned that a record was broken in this regard. Engineers in Japan broke the world internet speed record by reaching 319 terabits/sec.
While most of us still can’t even use 100 megabit internet, another record was broken in Japan in this regard. Accordingly, a research team at the National Institute of Information and Communication Technologies (NCIT) managed to achieve a data transfer rate of 1.02 petabits per second (about 1,024 terabits).
It is worth broadcasting 10 million 8K resolution videos at the same time
If we open this incredible record a little more; The speed achieved by Japanese researchers is worth 10 million 8K videos at the same time. According to the statements, another exciting detail about this speed record is the fiber optic network used. Researchers say that this is not different from the internet infrastructures used today; therefore, he says, it may facilitate future upgrades to achieve such speeds.
It was also reported that a technique called wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) was used in the record obtained by transmitting from a distance of 51.7 kilometers. It was also among the statements that four cores were used instead of a single core in the transfer. Thanks to these, it was stated that signals of different wavelengths can be sent simultaneously over the line.
In the data that emerged in the past months, you can find the average internet speeds in the world.
