China Unicom has launched the nation’s first-ever 10G broadband network in Sunan County, Hebei Province. This groundbreaking high-speed internet service, powered by advanced 50G PON (Passive Optical Network) technology, represents a major upgrade to China’s internet infrastructure. 10G broadband is primarily delivered via fiber optic networks.
It can significantly boost internet speeds while reducing latency. In a real-world demonstration, a household connected to the new 10G broadband network achieved impressive results. Download speeds reached 9,834 Mbps, and upload speeds hit 1,008 Mbps.
The latency was remarkably low at just three milliseconds.
