A research team in Japan, 1,02 petabit/seconds He quickly signed a new internet record. In a test carried out at a distance of 1,808 kilometers, a special 19 -core fiber optic cable used. The transferred data rate increases millions of floors above the existing wide band connections. This experimental achievement presented a strong example of how the existing network infrastructure will be shaped in the future.
In the study conducted by the National Institute of Information and Communication Technologies (NICT), this speed was achieved thanks to a 19 -core cable, each of which can carry independent data. The system was tested for 1,808 kilometers with 21 cycle data transfer simulation. The diameter of the fiber line used is designed to be compatible with the existing telecom cables. Thus, it has become possible to be applied in real infrastructures. Thanks to this structure, both bandwidth and productivity were increased.
In the heart of the optical cable used, there are 19 core, each with independent data channels. Each core works with special receiver and transmitter systems and brings the total speed to the level of petabit. 1,02 petabit reached per second means about 127,500 gigabytes. In other words, tens of thousands of 4K films can be transferred to this quickly. In addition to all these, the fact that the system is compatible with the existing infrastructure facilitates the application process.
The test redefines the capacity of fiber infrastructure
Although this success has been achieved in the laboratory environment, the level of compliance with the hardware and standards used shows that technology can be transported to real networks. Multi -channel buyers used in the experiment were specially developed for signal stability. The speed obtained becomes important not only with the amount of data, but also with the transmission distance. Failure to compromise on a speed of 1,808 kilometers revealed that the system was scaled. Nevertheless, it is necessary to work in terms of time and cost to reach daily users.
In any case, this record is considered a concrete step towards the future of the communication infrastructure needed for 6G, artificial intelligence systems and large data analysis processes. The cooperation of fiber optic cable manufacturers and research teams can pave the way for transforming this experimental level into commercial solutions. According to the explanations of the engineers involved in the test, the system can be adapted to maintain the same capacity at different distances. In addition, this development has become a new reference point for intercontinental networks, such as submarine cables.
