Engineers achieved a data transmission rate of 319 Terabits persecond (Tb/s). The new record was made on a line off fibersmore than 1,864 miles (3,000 km) long. And, crucially, it is compatible with modern-day cable infrastructure.
This could literally change everything.
Note well: we can't stress enough how fast this transmission speedis. It's nearly double the previous record of 178 Tb/s, which was set in 2020. And it's seven times the speed of the
earlier record of 44.2 Tb/s, set with an experimental photonic chip. NASA itself uses a comparatively primitive
Speed of 400 Gb/s, and the new record soars impossibly high above what ordinary consumers can use (the fastest of which maxes out at 10 Gb/s for home internet connections).
