Japanese IT specialists have demonstrated an impressive breakthrough by achieving a new maximum data transfer rate of 402 terabits per second. According to information provided by the Independent, this speed is five million times faster than the average broadband speed in the UK.

It is noted that such an outstanding speed allows downloading 12.5 thousand films in 4K format in just one second. For comparison, the number of films available in the Netflix online library is about three times less.

The published material indicates that the record data transmission over a distance of 1,808 kilometers was achieved using a fiber-optic cable with 19 channels.

Earlier, Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin set the task of ensuring the availability of satellite Internet throughout the Russian Federation within two years. Details of this issue can be found in an article published by the Public News Service.
