The "fastest internet network in the world," according to China, was launched recently and is capable of 1.2 terabits of data transmission per second.

As per Xinhua, the official news agency, Tsinghua University, China Mobile, Huawei, and CERNET.com Corporation have collaborated to develop the concept.

According to the South China Morning Post, the speed is estimated to be more than ten times quicker than the majority of internet systems in use today, allowing users to send the equivalent of 150 DVDs each second.

Xinhua also reported that a vast network of optical fiber cables connects Beijing, Wuhan, and Guangzhou to the recently established 3,000-kilometer next-generation internet backbone.

According to reports, the optical fiber wiring was turned on in July, but it wasn't formally launched until November 13 after all of its operational testing.

Only 100 gigabits per second can be achieved by the remaining global internet backbone networks. Even the US has successfully made the switch to Internet 2's fifth generation, which operates at 400 gigabits per second.

The high-speed internet system is a component of China's Future Internet Technology Infrastructure (FITI), a ten-year initiative that is part of China Education and Research Network (Cernet), according to the South China Morning Post.

China is planning to construct an even quicker internet.

Wu Jianping, the Chinese Academy of Engineering's FITI project leader, announced the fastest network and said that, in addition to being "not only a successful operation," the superfast line also provided China with "advanced technology to build an even faster internet in the future," according to the newspaper.

Conversely, Wang Lei, vice-president of Huawei Technologies, said that the network is "able to transfer the data equivalent of 150 high-definition films in just one second."

Tsinghua University's Xu Mingwei, in the meantime, likened the recently disclosed backbone network to a superfast train track that has supplanted the ten conventional tracks that previously carried an equivalent quantity of data. This has greatly reduced the cost and simplified management.

Mingwei also emphasized that China had made immense progress with the new network, since it was previously worrying that it had to rely on the US and Japan for routers and other internet-related components.

The technological research team reportedly built all of the gear and software needed in the system domestically, and they advanced everything from optical fiber connections to routers and switches.

Wu, the project leader for FITI, and his group created a speedy router that can handle an unprecedented amount of data. Additionally, the group has put up a technological solution that may combine several optical pathways to boost data transmission capacity.
