Japanese engineers set a new world record for internet speed: they were successful in transmitting data at a speed of 1 million gigabytes (1.02 petabits) over a distance of 1,808 kilometers they achieved it.
This result was achieved with the help of a special optical fiber cable that has 19 independent channels. Although the cable's external diameter is similar to that of conventional optical fibers, its internal structure allows for parallel data transmission.
Such technologies are of great importance for meeting the high demands of the future, with anticipated sharp increases in data traffic due to the development of artificial intelligence, 6G, and the Internet of Things.
Although these results have been achieved in a laboratory setting, they are considered an important step in the development of future high-speed internet infrastructure.
