  • NII Start Operation 400 Gbps Tokyo-Osaka Link to Speed Up
    NEWS RELEASE December 6, 2019 NII start operation 400 Gbps Tokyo-Osaka link to speed up SINET, ultra-high speed network supporting Japan’s academic research: Putting world-leading long-distance 400 Gbps link into practical operation The National Institute of Informatics (NII, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, Japan; Dr. Masaru KITSUREGAWA, Director General) has constructed a long-distance link with a world’s top-class transmission speed of 400 Gbps between Tokyo and Osaka as part of an academic information network, SINET5(*1). The existing SINET5 provides 100 Gbps links covering all of Japan’s prefectures. The new link has a capacity four times that of existing links. It will come into service on December 9. The purpose of constructing this 400 Gbps link is to increase the transmission capacity between the Kanto area centering on Tokyo and the Kansai area centering on Osaka and thereby to resolve the tight capacity situation amid soaring demand for data communication between the two regions where universities, research organizations, and other entities are concentrated. This implementation removes the issue about network resources being occupied by high-volume data communication and ensures stable communication. The updated infrastructure meets demands for further data increases and new high-volume data transmissions in inter-university collaborations and large research projects.
