The data was then transmitted using “wavelength-division multiplexing.”
This particular technology takes the beam of data and splits it into 552 individual channels.
Normally, only a single tube is used.
According to the team, each channel was transmitting data at around 145 gigabytes per second for each core.
With 552 channels, the researchers were able to reach the reported 319 terabit speed.
Thepurpose of this test was to continue the team’s researchin long-distance data transmission systems.
The data and findings of these tests will go to prepare the world for a post-5G web link era.
