Download the entire Netflix in a second: researchers from Japan set a record for Internet speed

According to glavcom.ua: Japanese scientists from the National Institute of Information and Communications Technology have achieved a new world record for data transmission speed. They were able to transmit information at a speed of 1.02 petabits per second over a distance of nearly 1807 kilometers, which is equivalent to the distance between Kyiv and the Netherlands. This achievement opens new prospects for scaling high-performance networks around the world.

To achieve this record, the scientists used standard-sized fiber optic cables that are used in modern networks. This success is a step forward in developing technologies that will meet the growing demand for data processing in the modern world.

The NICT report emphasizes that this result is an important step in developing scalable high-performance networks that can meet the growing demand for data worldwide.

The achieved record also highlights how scientists manage to increase data transmission speeds without the need to replace cables, which is an expensive and time-consuming process. Nielsen's Law, adopted in 1983, suggests that internet connection speeds will increase over time. Today, users have speeds of about 1 gigabit per second, but at this rate, by 2033, we will already need 10-25 Gbps, according to this law.

Scientists have managed to establish a world record for data transmission speed that could open up new opportunities for the global internet and mark a new stage in the development of data transmission technologies and network interaction.
