China’s Speed Internet surpasses internet of US.!?
It was revealed that Tsinghua university, china mobile, huawei and CERNET.com Corporation jointly developed this internet network. Users can transfer more than 150 high-definition images per second, the report added. It was revealed that the backbone of this internet connection was built using optical fiber cables spanning 3,000 km in Beijing, wuhan and Guangzhou. It has been tested in the region since July this year and this week, it was finally released to users in China. The Beijing-Wuhan-Guangzhou link is part of China's Future Internet technology Infrastructure (FITI), 10 years in the making and the latest version of the china National education and Research Network (CERNET).
The FITI project leader said the Internet connection was not only a successful operation, but also provided china with "advanced technology to build an even faster Internet." He added, “The FITI project is unprecedented in the world. It is open to the community and capable of supporting experimental trials of innovative network architectures.
Earlier, china relied on japan and the US for routers and other internet-related technologies, but things have changed with this internet connection. Hardware including optical fiber, switches for routers and software used in this system is manufactured locally.
In addition, the team has also proposed technology that can combine multiple optical paths to increase the upper limits of data transmission. Xu Mingwei of Tsinghua university says the network replaces the need for 10 conventional tracks to carry the same amount of data, resulting in a more cost-effective and manageable system.
