While we continue to expand our 5G network coverage, China has surged ahead in the global digital race with the launch of the world’s first commercial 10G broadband service. The breakthrough, achieved in Sunan County of Hebei province, marks a major leap in internet connectivity, promising lightning-fast speeds that could redefine how people work, play, and communicate online.
The 10G broadband service is the result of a collaboration between Chinese telecom heavyweight Huawei and state-run operator China Unicom. According to a report by The Economic Times, the network is capable of delivering download speeds of up to 9,834 megabits per second (Mbps), essentially 10 gigabits per second (Gbps), while upload speeds can reach 1,008 Mbps. More impressively, latency is reportedly as low as 0.003 seconds, a feature critical for real-time applications.
This ultra-high-speed service is powered by next-generation 50G passive optical network (PON) technology, which significantly enhances data transmission over existing fibre-optic infrastructure. In simple terms, it’s a major upgrade to current broadband backbones, capable of handling enormous volumes of data with unprecedented efficiency.
