China launches world’s fastest internet: Will be able to send 150 HD movies in one second, transmit speed 1.2 TB per second
Chinese tech company Huawei Technologies has launched the world’s fastest internet. The company claims that their network is capable of transmitting data at a speed of 1.2 terabit (TB) per second.
According to South China Morning Post, Huawei Technologies Vice President Wang Lei said that this network can transmit data equivalent to 150 high-definition (HD) movies in just one second. Apart from this, it can send all the global content of Netflix.
The company activated it for testing in July and has now launched it officially. The network has passed all operational tests. Tsinghua University, China Mobile, Huawei Technologies and Cernet Corporation have worked together for this success.
10 times faster than America and South Korea
The company has launched the world’s first next generation fiber internet service. Its speed is said to be 10 times more than America and South Korea.
This is a new backbone network spread over more than 3000 kilometers of optical fiber cabling. The network connects Beijing in the north, Wuhan in central China and Guangzhou in the southern province of Guangdong.
Internet works at 2400GB per second in America
This achievement defies industry predictions, as experts had anticipated the evolution of 1TB per second ultra-high-speed networks around 2025. Most of the world’s Internet backbone networks currently operate at 100 gigabits per second, with the US only recently completing this transition. Here Fifth Generation Internet works at 2400 gigabit per second.
