China Launches World’s First 10G Internet Network
China Launches World’s First 10G Internet Network, Surpassing Global Speed Standards – XIONG’AN CITY, CHINA – China has launched the world’s first 10G broadband internet network. The high-speed network was officially rolled out in Xiong’an City, Hebei Province, marking a major step forward in the race for ultra-fast connectivity.
The 10G network is the result of a collaborative effort between Chinese telecom giant Huawei and state-owned provider Unicom.
According to The Economic Times, the network delivers blazing-fast download speeds of up to 9,834 Mbps and upload speeds of 1,008 Mbps, with an impressively low latency of just 3 milliseconds.
This performance far exceeds the internet speeds of countries traditionally ranked at the top for broadband infrastructure, such as the United Arab Emirates (313.5 Mbps) and Singapore (345.3 Mbps), according to Statista.
The advanced speeds are powered by 50G Passive Optical Network (PON) technology, a next-generation evolution of Fiber to the X (FTTx) systems.
This innovation allows for speeds up to 50 Gbps in ideal conditions without the need for large-scale infrastructure upgrades.

To put it into perspective, the network allows users to download a 20GB 4K movie in under 20 seconds—dramatically faster than the 7 to 10 minutes typically required on a standard 1 Gbps connection.
Beyond entertainment, the 10G network opens new possibilities for cutting-edge technologies including cloud computing, virtual and augmented reality (VR/AR), telemedicine, remote learning, and smart agriculture.
This pioneering launch not only reinforces China’s leadership in the global tech arena but also sets a new benchmark for nations aiming to accelerate their digital transformation.
