New data transmission record of 14 Terabits per second
by DJ Neawedde | 30th September 2006
The previous data transmission record was 2.56 terabits per second back in May. Nippon Telegraph and Telephone (NTT) has announced a new bandwidth record of 14 terabits per second over 160 kilometers (nearly 100 miles) of fiber optic cable.
“We still think that someone needs to do some research on why Japan always gets the coolest stuff fastest — not to mention how they get the fastest stuff first.”
For the future, NTT aims to construct a 10 Tbps-class large capacity core optical network that excels in terms of its economy and quality; it will promote the realization of a long-distance transmission system that supports 100 Gbps high-speed channels.Â
