As internet usage continues to increase around the world, there are constant advancements in speed. In the news we shared with you last year, we mentioned that a record was broken in this area. Engineers in Japan broke the world record for internet speed with 319 terabits/sec.

While most of us still can’t even use 100 megabits of internet, another record was broken in Japan in this regard. Accordingly, a research team from the National Institute of Information and Communication Technologies (NCIT) managed to achieve a data transfer rate of 1.02 petabits per second (about 1024 terabits).

The cost of streaming 10 million 8K resolution videos simultaneously

If we open this incredible record a little more; The speed Japanese researchers achieved at the same time To 10 million 8K videos price. Another exciting detail of this speed record, according to the statements, is the fiber optic network used. Researchers say this is no different from the Internet infrastructures used today; therefore, he says, it may facilitate future upgrades to achieve such speeds.

In addition, the record was achieved by switching at a distance of 51.7 kilometers wavelength division multiplexing It was reported that a technique called (WDM) was used. It was also one of the explanations that four cores were used instead of a single core in the transfer. Thanks to this, it was stated that signals of different wavelengths can be sent simultaneously over the line.

In the data coming out over the past few months, we shared the world’s average internet speeds with you. This data showed that the average fixed internet speed in the world was 60.76 Mbps. Moreover, the figures are above the average in Turkey. 27.64 Mbps showed that we are in the lower ranks compared to other countries. This showed that the new record was millions of times faster than the speed we used.
