In the past five years, the expansion of computing solutions based on artificial intelligence and the increasing number of online gaming and film streaming platforms have brought the need for Internet bandwidth to a new high, to the point that the total rate of data transfers around the world has now reached about one petabyte per second.

Currently, we are seeing speeds of more than 2.5 and even 10 Gigabits per second, and it seems that we are soon approaching the limitations of old fiber optic cables, but what if the cables still have the possibility of faster data transfer?

Scientists at the Technical University of Denmark managed to achieve a speed of 1.84 petabytes/s through a conventional fiber optic cable, which is nearly twice the current band pans of the world. Of course, these researchers used photon chips to achieve this goal.

According to NotebookCheck, the team of Danish scientists, led by Asbjorn Arvad Jörgens, divided the data flow into 37 lines of each fiber optic strand in Kabul, and then each line was divided into 233 smaller currents that corresponded to different color frequencies in the optical spectrum, thus creating a "space transfer and parallel wavelength" protocol between two points at a distance of 7.9 kilometers.
