255Tbps speed achieved on a single fibre strand

Researchers have achieved a speed of 255Tbps over a 1km fibre link – enough to carry the world’s Internet traffic

“By employing few-mode multicore fibre, compact three-dimensional waveguide multiplexers, and energy-efficient frequency-domain multiple-input multiple-output equalization, we demonstrate the viability of spatial multiplexing to reach a data rate of 5.1 Tbit/s on a single wavelength over a single fibre,” the paper states.

Ah... makes sense :wtf:

Cool, I could download the internet in 1 second but how do I store it?

impressive..

Borrow me for just 1 sec.

I always wondered what the bandwidth limit for single mode fiber is

 

[TelkomUseless]

Don't worry.. our ISPs will throttle you to 20 kb/s!

 

[CuppaJoe]

Goodness gracious.

Just pulled the latest Ubuntu distro with a US vm in under 5s!



Hope this is a sign of things to come in the not too distant future for SA.

Our local gated community fibre companies would pair that with a 20GB cap
