Scientist achieved 402 Tbps fiber internet speed 16 lakh times faster to Mbps

What is Tbps: The speed of broadband installed in your and our homes currently comes in Mbps (Megabytes per second) and Gbps (Gigabytes per second). By taking a plan of 50-100 Mbps, we become happy that now we will get faster download and upload speed. But researchers have achieved data transfer speeds millions times faster than this. According to a report, researchers have achieved fiber-optic data transfer speed of 402 terabits per second (Tbps). This is 16 lakh times faster than the internet speed available on any normal home broadband.

Scientists from Aston University, UK have achieved this feat. The special thing is that he achieved this speed by using all the wavelength bands used in fiber-optic cables available in the market.

The same team of scientists had made a record in March also. Then he achieved a speed of 301 Tbps by using 4 to 6 wavelengths bands. The data transfer speed now achieved is 25 times faster than before. Scientists say that most fiber-optic broadband connections use only one or two wavelengths bands. He used 6 wavelengths bands.

of live science Report According to, ‘Ian Phillips’, who is a part of the research team, says that this discovery can help in increasing the capacity of single fiber, which will bring high-performance systems to the world. If this technology is adopted, the development of optical cable communication will accelerate and the demand for data services will increase in the future.

The experiment done by the researchers was done in Japan. National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT) Has published. This gives an idea of ​​how fast the internet speed we can get in the future can be. Talking about India, currently 1Gbps fiber speed is being offered in domestic broadband. However, people manage with plans with even lower speeds like 100Mbps and 50Mbps.
