22.25 Terabyte per second, new world speed record

178 terabits per second: Imagine being able to download the entire book of Netflix, in less than a second.

We will not see such connections on the market any time soon, but it is a record for the fastest internet speed in the world. That is 178.000.000 megabits per second or 178 terabits per second, or 22.25 Terabytes.

The fastest speed available to consumers is today 10Gbps In Japan. Even the connection developed by the United States Energy Science Network reaches 400Gbps.

Engineers at KDDI Research, from University College London have developed new technologies to pass more data through the existing of optical fibers. The largest size from the current infrastructure reached 4,5THz, while some new technologies increased it to 9THz. This new system that we mention above the raises at 16,8THz.

The wider bandwidth is a result of the new Geometric Shaping (GS). In order to accommodate more without interference, these patterns of signal combinations change the brightness, phase, and polarization of the wavelengths. The hybrid system is the result of different combinations of existing amplification technologies.

The installation uses the existing fiber optic setup, and the integration of this new one would be relatively easier and cheaper compared to other experimental research in this field. Only the of the amplifiers, there would be no need to replace the cables.

  1. Good evening, I read you and I find your material interesting.
    Ask a stupid question?
    For us ordinary users who may find such speed useful?

    • we do not need such speeds at least at the moment, but in the future no one knows in what resolution we will be able to watch streaming
