China unveils world’s fastest internet, Capable of transmitting 150 movies in just one second

In a groundbreaking achievement, a collaborative effort involving Tsinghua University, China Mobile, Huawei Technologies, and Cernet Corporation has unveiled the ‘world’s fastest internet’ network, boasting a staggering data transmission speed of 1.2 terabits per second. This remarkable feat, reported by the South China Morning Post, surpasses current major internet routes by more than tenfold.

Spanning an impressive 3,000 kilometers, the network intricately links Beijing, Wuhan, and Guangzhou through an extensive optical fiber cabling system, demonstrating the capacity to transmit data at an astonishing rate of 1.2 terabits (equivalent to 1,200 gigabits) per second. Notably, this far exceeds the typical operating speed of most global Internet backbone networks, which generally operate at 100 gigabits per second. Even in the United States, the recent transition to the fifth-generation Internet2 reached speeds of 400 gigabits per second.

The Beijing-Wuhan-Guangzhou connection stands as a pivotal component of China’s ambitious Future Internet Technology Infrastructure—a decade-long initiative and the latest iteration of the national China Education and Research Network (Cernet). Having been activated in July and officially launched recently, the network not only surpassed all operational tests but also demonstrated reliable performance.

In highlighting the extraordinary speed of this network, Huawei Technologies’ vice-president, Wang Lei, provided an insightful perspective, stating that it is ”capable of transferring the data equivalent of 150 high-definition films in just one second.”

Wu Jianping, the project leader for FITI from the Chinese Academy of Engineering, emphasized that the superfast line is not only a successful operation but also positions China with the ”advanced technology to build an even faster internet.”

Drawing an analogy, Xu Mingwei of Tsinghua University likened the new internet backbone to a superfast train track, explaining that it eliminates the need for 10 regular tracks to carry the same amount of data. This results in a more cost-effective and manageable system. Importantly, all software and hardware components of the system have been domestically produced, underlining China’s self-reliance and technological prowess in this groundbreaking endeavor.
