Australia recorded an internet speed of 44.2 Tbps (Terabits per second), which a million times the current internet speed in the country,and recorded world’s fastest Internet. The researchers team from Australia’s Swinburne, Monash, and RMIT universities recorded the speed of 44.2 terabits per second (Tbps),with this speed you can download tons of movies,songs and game in few seconds, isn’t crazy?
Though Researchers have claimed that they achieved the record speed by using a single optical chip, The device is called a micro-comb that replaces around 80 lasers found in some existing telecommunication hardware. The test was performed outside the laboratory, with some minor updates It produced the highest amount of data ever by a single optical chip.with the same optic fibre that is being used in normal broadbands.so how did they achieved this amount of speed?
Here is the answer-The micro-comb worked as a “splitter” of sorts to divide the internet fibre into 80 unique channels. each of the new split channels had the same capacity as the original one, thus drastically multiplying the amount of data a single fibre can send and receive. The device used in a field trial, worked like a charm and allowed more data to pass than ever, breaking the world-record for bandwidth in no time.
