Japan breaks record for fastest internet speed in history, transfers data at 319 terabits per second.
- Researchers at Japan's National Institute of Information and Communications Technology, who have been working to push the limits of online information transfer, demonstrated an internet speed of 319 Terabits (TBs) per second, setting a new world record.
- The researchers achieved the never-seen-before speeds by using advanced fiber-optic technology with a 4-core optical fiber of standard outer diameter of 0.123 mm for the test.
- According to reports, the test broke the previous record of 178 Tb/s that was set by Japan and Britain in 2020.
If you are an internet buff and love spending time watching videos, playing games, and just surfing websites, you might want to consider moving to Japan.
That's because the country has set a new world record for the fastest internet speed ever recorded.
Researchers at Japan's National Institute of Information and Communications Technology, who have been working to push the limits of online information transfer, demonstrated an internet speed of 319 Terabits (TBs) per second, setting a new world record.
The researchers achieved the never-seen-before speeds by using advanced fiber-optic technology with a 4-core optical fiber of standard outer diameter of 0.123 mm for the test.
According to reports, the test broke the previous record of 178 Tb/s that was set by Japan and Britain in 2020.
To put things into context, the new speed is almost 7 million times faster than the average speed of the internet in the US. And a shocking 24 million times faster than the average speed in India.
The test in Japan was completed in a lab, where the researchers constructed a recirculating transmission loop set-up by combining two earth-doped fiber amplifiers.
The scientists were able to stretch the signal for more than 3,000 kms with the combination of erbium and thulium doped-fiber amplifiers and distributed Raman amplification.
The findings of the research have now been presented at the International Conference on Optical Fiber Communications.
“The 4-core MCF with standard cladding diameter is attractive for early adoption of SDM fibers in high-throughput, long-distance links, since it is compatible with conventional cable infrastructure and expected to have mechanical reliability comparable to single-mode fibers,” the Japanese research institute said the paper published earlier this month.
The biggest positive outcome of the research was that the test was largely done on fibre optic infrastructure, which is already the main cable for internet connection in most countries.
