New Data Transmission Record — 14 Tbps

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the that's-140-hi-def-movies dept.

deejne writes to alert us to a new bandwidth record: Nippon Telegraph and Telephone has announced data transmission at a rate of 14 terabits per second over a single optical fiber. The paper claims the previous record was "about 10 Tbps." In the new experiment, NTT sent data over 160 kilometers (nearly 100 miles) of optical fiber, in 140 channels of 111 Gbps each.

    A link that fast wouldn't help you. There isn't enough seed bandwidth on TPB to give you 14Tbits/sec, nor is there the backbone bandwidth. And you'd need a hell of a RAID subsystem to manage handle writing at 14Tbits/sec sustained.
