Ultra-fast fiber sets global speed record: 1.02 petabits per second over continental distance

Petabit-scale data transmission outpaces previous records by more than 14x
Why it matters: A technological leap in fiber optics has shattered previous limitations, achieving what experts once considered impossible: transmitting data at 1.02 petabits per second – enough to download every movie on Netflix 30 times over – across 1,808 kilometers using a single fiber no thicker than a human hair.
