    Japan sets new record, brings world closer to internet 100,000 times faster than current speeds

    The world is about to get a whole lot faster — 100,000 times faster to be exact, thanks to researchers in Japan who have set a new record for data transmission speeds.

    The Network Research Institute at the National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT) reported on May 30 that they had successfully demonstrated the world’s first transmission speed of 1.02 petabit per second in a multi-core fiber (MCF).

    Petabit (PB) refers to the unit of data, and 1 PB is equivalent to 1,000,000 Gigabytes (GB). The new record could usher in new home internet speeds that are 100,000 times faster than any of the current fastest services on the market.

    With this power, 1 petabit per second would mean 10 million channels of 8K broadcasting per second, making live coverage easily achievable from all corners of the world with virtually no lapse.


    With 1.02 PB traveling over 32 miles per second, we could soon send 127,500 GB of data every second.

    This was not the first time researchers have tested petabit speeds. During the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games, technology giant Intel broadcasted live coverage of 19 days of the event to Brazil, Japan and Intel sites in the U.S. (by invitation only).

    Global content technology strategist and 8K lead at Intel Ravindra “Ravi” Vehal claimed, “We are way beyond proof of concept.”

    The newest record set by NICT is not only faster than previous attempts, it transmits data using a standard optic fiber cable, meaning it is technology that is potentially available for immediate and wide use.
    Wow! We non-tech savvy people just got 100,000 times farther behind in the dark..

    Default THAT SOUNDS GREAT...Think of the possibilities!

    It won't be long till we can SEND ANSWERS to questions, long before any question is asked. Ya know? Like all of the questions JOE BIDEN and his press secretaries NEVER ANSWER???
    I may be older than most. I may say things not everybody will like.
    But despite all of that. I will never lower myself to the level of Liars, Haters, Cheats, and Hypocrites.
