Japan sets new Internet speed world record with data transfers at 319Tbps

A team of engineers from Japan has achieved the fastest data transfers ever using specialised optical fibre cables. It now claims that the technology can be implemented on the existing fibre optics, thus increasing the speed of everyday internet at our homes.

As remote work becomes the new norm for many across the globe, high internet speeds are the need of the hour. Working on this, a team of engineers in Japan has now achieved the fastest data transfer ever, with their record-breaking internet speed. The wonderous feat has been achieved by engineers from Japan's National Institute of Information and Communication Technology (NICT) and has now been published as a research paper at the International Conference on Optical Fiber Communication held virtually from June 6-11.
