The Fastest Data Speed from Japan

Japan has been known for so long as the country with developed technology. The ultimate and the most sophisticated technology and gadgets are often created by this country. Ultimately, Japan launched the new optical technology that will amaze everyone. Japan launched the technology that enables it to reach the data speed of 30 Terabyte per second (Tbps) or more than 32 Billions Kbps. The technology uses the transmission namely OFDM or orthogonal frequency division multiplex.

As the comparison, the internet speed that presents today can also give at the maximum 1500 Kbps as the average speed of the internet in the world in 2008. The normal speed of the daily usage is about 500 Kbps. The research itself is conducted by KDDI Research and Development Labs along with National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT) in Japan.

To simplify your imagination, let us see that 30 Tbps means 32 Billions of Kbps. With such a speed, means, the data can be sent in a second can reach 3.9 MB and can be compared as almost 1000 pieces of DVD film per second. The research was also conducted in such a long distance, which was about 240 kilometers. The technology will be commercialized in 2012.
