Researchers in Japan broke a world record by reaching a data transfer rate of 1.02 petabits. It was stated that the fiber optic network used while reaching this speed is not much different from today’s internet infrastructures.
While internet usage continues to increase all over the world, there are constant developments in speed. In the news we shared with you last year, we mentioned that a record was broken in this regard. Engineers in Japan broke the world internet speed record by reaching 319 terabits/sec.
While most of us still can’t even use 100 megabit internet, another record was broken in Japan in this regard. Accordingly, a research team at the National Institute of Information and Communication Technologies (NCIT) managed to achieve a data transfer rate of 1.02 petabits per second (about 1,024 terabits).
The cost of streaming 10 million 8K resolution videos at the same time
If we open this incredible record a little more; The speed achieved by Japanese researchers simultaneously To 10 million 8K videos price. According to the statements, another exciting detail about this speed record is the fiber optic network used. Researchers say that this is not different from the internet infrastructures used today; therefore, he says, it may facilitate future upgrades to achieve such speeds.
In addition, the record achieved by transferring from a distance of 51.7 kilometers wavelength division multiplexing It was reported that a technique called (WDM) was used. It was also among the statements that four cores were used instead of a single core in the transfer. Thanks to these, it was stated that signals of different wavelengths can be sent over the line at the same time.

In the data that emerged in the past months, we shared with you the average internet speeds in the world. In these data, it was revealed that the average fixed internet speed in the world was 60.76 Mbps. In addition, the numbers are above the average in Turkey. 27.64Mbps showed that we are in the lower ranks compared to other countries. This showed that the new record was millions of times faster than the speed we used.
