🇯🇵 Japan Breaks Internet Speed World Record — 1 Million GB per Second
Japanese researchers have set a new world record for internet speed, achieving a staggering 1.02 petabits per second — equivalent to 1 million gigabytes per second — over a distance of 1,800 kilometers. The breakthrough was made using a 19-core optical fiber, remarkably similar in size to standard fiber cables.
This cutting-edge technology is designed to meet the growing demands of emerging innovations like AI, virtual reality, and 6G networks. A key advancement was overcoming the challenge of amplifying signals across multiple cores and light bands without causing interference.
In addition to raw speed, Japan’s achievement sets a new benchmark in terms of capacity-distance with a record 1.86 exabits per second-kilometer, paving the way for the next generation of ultra-fast, long-distance internet infrastructure.
