Chinese Team Claims Record for Real-Time Fiber Optic Transmission Speed: Over 20,000 4K Movies in One Second
A Chinese team has reportedly achieved a real-time transmission rate of 3.2 Pb/s using 24-core fiber optics, capable of transferring over 20,000 4K movies in a single second. This surpasses their earlier record of 2.5 Pb/s set earlier this year by nearly 30%. The test utilized commercially compatible hardware architecture and validated spatial division multiplexing and S+C+L multi-band transmission technologies.
A Chinese team claims to have set a new record for real-time optical fiber transmission speed, capable of sending over 20,000 4K movies in a single second.
The team reported achieving a real-time transmission rate of 3.2 Pb/s using a 24-core fiber, which is fast enough to transmit more than 20,000 4K movies within one second. This achievement surpasses the team's previous record of 2.5 Pb/s set earlier this year, representing an increase of nearly 30%.
The test utilized commercially compatible hardware architecture and validated the use of space-division multiplexing and S+C+L multi-band transmission technologies. The report notes that the laboratory record for fiber transmission has previously reached 5.29 Pb/s, but that result was achieved using advanced or experimental equipment and signal processing.
