Thousands of movies can be downloaded in 1 second
Researchers in Australia have set a world record for an Internet speed of 44.2 terabytes per second. At this speed, the user can download one thousand HD movies per second.
A joint team from Monas, Swinburne and RMIT universities has used a microcomb optical chip to transfer data to all communications infrastructure in Melbourne. Inside are hundreds of infrared lasers.
Singapore currently has the world's fastest commercial internet speed. The average download speed is 197.3 MB per second.
Earlier, the average download speed in Australia was 43.4 Mbps. Which was one million times slower than the current test.
Dr. Monas University. Bill Corcoran says global competition continues to bring such speed to commercial markets.
He also said that the equipment they are currently using will reach other research labs in two to three years and for commercial use in about five years from now.
The lockdown caused by the coronavirus has significantly boosted the development of Internet infrastructure in recent months.
Last March, live streaming platforms such as YouTube and Netflix downgraded their video quality, calling for austerity in international bandwidth consumption. But now micro-comb devices will solve this problem, say researchers.
