New Internet Speed World Record: 178 Terabits a Second
The world’s fastest data transmission rate has been achieved by a team of University College London engineers who reached an internet speed a fifth faster than the previous record. Working with two companies, Xtera and KDDI Research, the research team led by Dr. Lidia Galdino (UCL Electronic & Electrical Engineering), achieved a data transmission rate of 178 terabits a second (178,000,000 megabits a second) – a speed at which it would be possible to download the entire Netfli
World’s First Transmission of 1 Petabit/S Using a Single-Core Multimode Optical Fiber
A world record transmission of 1 petabit per second in a multimode optical fiber increases the current record data rate in multimode optical fibers by more than 2.5 times. Wideband optical transmission in fibers with more 15 modes is demonstrated for the first time, enabled by mode multiplexers and a transmission fiber optimized for high optical bandwidth.
This demonstration advanced high-density and large capacity transmission in optical fibers that can be produced with stan
