La China has recently announced of having built what he claims to be the fastest internet network in the world, a statement that caught the attention of tech experts and enthusiasts. The creation of this network represents a significant technological leap, not only for the Asian country but for the entire telecommunications sector. Here are the details.
The fastest internet network in the world was born in China: 1,2 terabits per second
The network in question, with an astonishing speed of 1,2 terabits per second, it's about ten times faster than any other internet network existing at the moment. This speed allows you to transfer a truly enormous amount of data in just a few seconds. A fact that leaves you speechless considering the current data transfer capacity of most global internet networks.

The long fiber optic link 3.000 kilometers It unites three major Chinese cities: Beijing, Wuhan and Guangzhou, forming a linear network that serves as the main data transmission channel. The speed and reliability of this network are such that it can support a stable and reliable bandwidth, which opens new frontiers for the development of internet services and digital applications.
According to the professor Wu Jianping of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, the project is not only a "successful experiment", but also the demonstration that Chinese technology is ready to build an even faster network. In fact, according to him it is important to make people understand that the entire project was created using only Chinese technology and minds.
