Even a woman with a 40 Gbps internet connection might feel a twinge of jealousy at this news — Japan has successfully tested two separate 100 terabit per second data links that use a single optical fiber to carry their loads. New Scientist reports that NEC scholars stuffed the light from 370 lasers into 165 kilometers of fiber to achieve a speed of 101.7 Tbps, while NICT researchers set a new record of 109 Tbps using a special fiber with seven cores to manage the trick. We imagine that Alcatel-Lucent and NTT aren’t sitting still. Not that we really care who has the fastest fiber… just so long as one end leads to our house.
