1 PETABIT PER SECOND! 😱
Researchers in Japan have set a new record by achieving internet speed of 1 million GB speed per second!
The Network Research Institute at NICT reported on May 30 that they had successfully demonstrated the world’s first transmission speed of 1.02 petabit per second.
1 petabit is equivalent to 1,000,000 Gigabytes (GB). The new record could usher in new home internet speeds that are 100,000 times faster than any of the current fastest services on the market.
With this power, 1 petabit per second would mean 10 million channels of 8K broadcasting per second, making live coverage easily achievable from all corners of the world with virtually no lapse.
The good news is this record was set using ordinary optic fibre cable, meaning it is technology that is potentially available for immediate and wide use.
