This feat has been achieved by scientists from Aston University in the UK. The special thing is that they achieved this speed by using all the wavelengths and bands used in fiber-optic cables available in the market.
The same team of scientists had also made a record in March. Then they had achieved a speed of 301 Tbps by using 4 to 6 wavelength bands. The data transfer speed achieved now is 25 times faster than before. Scientists say that most fiber-optic broadband connections use only one or two wavelength bands. They used 6 wavelength bands.
Live Science’s Report According to Ian Phillips, who was a part of the research team, this discovery can help in increasing the capacity of a single fiber, which will bring high-performance systems to the world. If this technology is adopted, the development of optical cable communication will accelerate and the demand for data services will increase in the future.
The experiment conducted by the researchers was conducted in Japan National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT) has published. This gives an idea of how fast the internet speed we will get in the future can be. Talking about India, currently 1Gbps fiber speed is being offered in domestic broadband. However, people manage with plans with even lower speeds like 100Mbps and 50Mbps.
