Australian researchers managed to achieve an unusual internet speed of 44.2 terabytes per second (Tb / s), using one optical fiber, making it possible to download 10,000 HD movies in one second.
While we were satisfied with 1 or 2 Mbps a few years ago, the demand for high-speed internet increased, thanks to the availability of optical fibers, which provide speeds higher than 30 Mbps, and in some countries and regions the internet speed generally ranges between 100 Mbps / Sec and 10 Gbit / sec, but Australian researchers recently reached the Internet million times faster on the current Internet, with a speed of 44.2 terabytes per second (Tb / s).
This result was achieved using a single optical fiber at a distance of 75 km.
To achieve this amazing speed, Australian researchers from three major universities (Monash, Swinburne and RMIT) have formed a team to achieve the fastest internet speed that can be achieved with a single optical fiber.
Even more impressive is that the test was performed not only in the lab, but also in a real-life environment, according to their research published in Nature Communications, in which they said: “We performed data transmission of more than 75 km of standard optical fibers using a single light source “. In concrete terms, this means that the existing infrastructure will allow the use of such a high flow, at least for a distance of 75 km at present.
In order to achieve this massive flow, the researchers used what is known as a “micropeigne” of isolated wave, which alone replaces the 80 infrared lasers used in normal times, a technology that is already compatible with the optical fiber network.
Moreover, the aim of the researchers was to “demonstrate the potential of the optical fibers we already have in this field”.
Finally, ordinary users won’t need 44.2 TB of speed at home, even if they’re an enthusiastic consumer of Netflix, online video games, and more. In the future, this great speed will be especially beneficial for all operations related to the cloud, data centers, Internet of things, etc., according to the French website (Tomsguide).
