China launches world's first 10G broadband network in Hebei, surpasses global internet speeds
Beijing: China has launched its first 10G broadband network in Sunan County, Hebei Province, on Sunday, April 20. This marks a major step forward in the country’s internet technology. The new high-speed network was developed through a partnership between Huawei and China Unicom, reported Economic Times.
The 10G broadband promises extremely fast internet speeds up to 9,834 megabits per second (Mbps) for downloads and 1,008 Mbps for uploads. It also has very low latency, around just 3 milliseconds. This means data can travel much faster and more smoothly than before.
This new network is powered by a 50G Passive Optical Network (PON) technology. It helps improve how data moves through fiber-optic cables and supports high-bandwidth activities like cloud computing, virtual and augmented reality, 8K video streaming, and connecting smart home devices.
For example, downloading a full-length 4K movie that’s around 20 GB in size usually takes 7 to 10 minutes on a 1 Gbps connection. With this 10G broadband, the same movie can be downloaded in less than 20 seconds.
With this move, China is now leading the world in broadband technology, going ahead of countries like the UAE and Qatar, which also have high-speed internet.
The new network is expected to bring improvements in many areas, including healthcare, education, and farming, by allowing faster and more dependable data connections.
Huawei, founded in 1987 and based in Shenzhen, is a global leader in telecom equipment and has helped advance optical broadband and 5G technology. China Unicom, a major state-owned telecom company in China, offers broadband, mobile, and enterprise services across the country.
