So nothing really new. I am still looking forward to 1 Pbps. And more undersea cable being built.

At the end of the article they mention the world record of 22.9 Pbps was set by a team at NICT in November 2023.

I think the important difference in this case is that it can use existing optical infrastructure, "just" replacing the electronics at each end.
