💢 China just smashed a global data speed record Chinese researchers have doubled data transmission capacity while cutting latency over long distances. The joint China Telecom, YOFC and ZTE experiment achieved: 🔹 64 Tbps in each direction (128 Tbps combined) over 1,007km of hollow-core fiber 🔹one-way signal travel in just 3.43 milliseconds 🔹 60% greater transmission distance than the best solid-core fibers 🔹50 times the distance of previous comparable hollow-core trials Unlike conventional fiber, hollow-core cables transmit light through air, reducing latency. Faster, lower-latency connections could boost AI data center efficiency while reducing reliance on costly GPUs and storage chips. The technology is already being used in a commercial financial link between Shenzhen and Hong Kong, with 10+ pilot and commercial projects across Asia and Europe. Subscribe @NewResistance
