Japanese institute engineers break record for fastest internet reaching 319 terabits per second

RIO — Engineers at a technology center in Japan managed to break the record for the highest fiber-optic internet speed by registering 319 terabits per second. To get an idea of ​​how fast this is, the download of the video game “Call of Duty: Modern Warfare”, one of the heaviest games, with about 200 gigabytes in size, could be done in less than a second at this rate obtained by researchers.

Led by Benjamin J. Puttnam, they built a transmission system that works with different wavelengths over a distance of 3,001 kilometers. It was also verified that such speed was 2.7 times higher than the last demonstration performed involving SDM fibers with standard external diameter.

According to the authors of the demonstration, this was the first transmission of S, C and L bands over long distances on a four-core optical fiber with a standard outer diameter (0.125 millimeters).

“In addition to the C and L bands, normally used for long-distance transmission and high data rate, we use the S-band transmission bandwidth, which has not yet been used beyond the single transmission interval.”

According to a recent publication on the website of Japan’s National Institute of Information and Communication Technology (NICT), the Internet field is expected to see an explosive increase in new data services beyond 5G.

Therefore, those responsible for the experiment conclude that it is crucial to demonstrate how the new fibers can meet this demand.

“Therefore, it is hoped that this result will help the realization of new communication systems that can support new services with high bandwidth consumption”, says the NICT, which is committed to continue developing broadband and long-distance transmission systems. and the transmission range for transoceanic distances.

The results of the experiment were presented at the International Conference on Fiber Optic Communications (OFC 2021), held between 6 and 11 June in a virtual form due to travel restrictions imposed by the pandemic.
