Huawei and China Unicom have jointly implemented a project to launch broadband with a download speed up to 10,000 Mbps in Xionggang District, Hebei Province, about 100 km from Beijing.
According to mydrivers, the deployment of this network is based on a 50G PON solution.
«Thanks to the modernization of the basic architecture of the fiber-optic network, the throughput per user increases from the traditional gigabit level to almost 10 000 Mbps, and network latency is reduced to the millisecond level», — the publication writes.
For example, at the home of user Mr. Cao, the measured download speed reached 9834 Mbps, and the upload speed reached 1008 Mbps.
The publication writes that this achievement not only confirms the maturity of 50G PON technology, but also lays the foundation for future high-bandwidth applications such as 8K video, 10G cloud NAS, VR/AR, and cloud gaming.
On April 7, China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued a notice identifying 168 shortlisted ultra-fast optical network pilot projects. A total of 15 projects were selected from Hebei Province.
Previously, a team of specialists from London’s Global University successfully sent data wirelessly at a speed of 938 gigabits per second in the frequency range of 5–150 gigahertz.
