China Unveils Cutting-Edge Internet Network, Boasting World’s Fastest Speeds
China has proudly introduced what it claims to be the world’s most advanced internet network, set to operate at speeds several times faster than existing networks.
The revolutionary network, capable of reaching approximately 1.2 terabits (1,200 gigabits) per second, promises groundbreaking advancements in data transfer, with the capability to transmit data from 150 movies in just one second, as reported by Chinese tech manufacturer Huawei.
Although these speeds are currently theoretical and not expected to reach consumers’ homes immediately, the implications of a more robust and rapid internet service are far-reaching.
Faster information transfers, advantages in stock trading, and heightened national security capabilities are among the potential benefits.
During a recent press conference, Huawei, in collaboration with China Mobile, officially launched the next-generation backbone network in partnership with Beijing’s Tsinghua University and Cernet, a government-funded education and research network.
The backbone network, spanning 1,800 miles of optic fiber cables between Beijing and the south, forms the infrastructure supporting internet traffic for technologies such as 5G and electric vehicles.
