The objective is to offer swift, large-scale network connectivity through photonic techniques. By 2030, NTT intends to bring this technology worldwide, driven by the escalating demand for AI-generated international data volumes expected to hit 175 zettabytes by 2025—almost tripling since 2020 according to IDC’s ‘Data Age 2025’ report. The document explains that stacking these 175 zettabytes onto DVDs would create a column tall enough to wrap around our planet more than 220 times.
