It's truly unbelievable; Japan has set a world record with an internet speed of one million gigabytes per second.
🚀 Japan has just set a world record with an internet speed of one million gigabytes per second!
Imagine downloading 10,000 4K movies in one second. The new optical fibers in Japan made that possible.
In a groundbreaking leap for global internet infrastructure, Japanese researchers shattered records by transmitting data at a speed of 1.02 petabytes per second - that is one million gigabytes per second - over more than 1100 miles using specialized optical fibers no thicker than the fibers we use today.
This remarkable achievement was accomplished using 19-core optical fibers, turning a single data path into a 19-lane highway. The system maintained stability over long distances thanks to a new signal amplification technology and an advanced digital processing method that eliminated interference and cleaned the data.
This achievement is not only about super-fast downloads but also paves the way for a data-ready future powered by artificial intelligence, sixth-generation networks, virtual reality, and billions of connected devices.
Unlike previous high-speed optical fiber experiments that were limited to short transmission ranges, this system covered a distance of 1808 kilometers without any degradation in signal quality. With expectations of a significant increase in global data traffic, this scalable and high-capacity optical fiber may be a key element in meeting the demands of a highly interconnected world.#TrumpTariffs#TrumpTariffs#TrumpTariffs
