In simple terms, you could download all of Netflix in one second or the entire Internet Archive in just four minutes. The feat was achieved with a new optical fiber. It is the size of current cables but transports a monstrous and lossless amount of data. The system operates on existing infrastructure, which accelerates the possibility of commercial use.
The data traveled 1,802 kilometers without interruption. A distance similar to that which separates New York from Florida. All of that in one second. That's how intense it is. 'We want to take this technology to market,' they said from the NICT. The announcement was made at the Fiber Optic Communications Conference in San Francisco.
The previous record of 50.250 Gbps has been shattered. The new Japanese standard multiplies that mark by more than two.
