China has launched the world's first ultra-high-speed next-generation Internet backbone with a bandwidth of 1,200G bits per second (1.2T), according to a press conference held at the Tsinghua University in Beijing on Monday, as reported by the Chinese news agency, Xinhua.
The ultra-high-speed next-generation Internet backbone, jointly developed by the Tsinghua University, China Mobile, HUAWEI and CERNET.com Corporation, boasts a total transmission network spanning more than 3,000 kilometers linking the three cities of Beijing, Wuhan and Guangzhou, according to the German news agency.
The FITI backbone is a major technological achievement of the national Future Internet Technology Infrastructure (FITI) project.
Since its trial operation on July 31 this year, the FITI backbone has been running stably and reliably, successfully passing various tests.
