QuoteOriginally posted by: outrunnetworking announcements: 100 Gbps to the End User; Ultra-low-latency MicrowaveThere is no way you can go 100Gbps without a repeater. And here it is:QuoteWhat that means is that even though NeXXCom?s microwave technology needs 35 to 40 hops between the critical New York/New Jersey and Chicago markets, it?s still faster than fiber, Benti said. The company claims to cut more than 3 milliseconds from the fastest fiber networks on that route.From my understanding of propagation, if I use three redundant frequencies, and don't aim for such a high data rate, I can do it in a single hop. You don't need a high data rate, you need a fast data rate. The only problem is the geeks at the convention told me I should be looking at something from this company:SCS packet controllerI worry the latency inside the demodulator at both ends is too big. So my first guess is you need a custom barebones modulator controlling three transceivers at once. And then put all the error correction inside an i7.I am working on learning to use FPGA's as transceiver controllers. My main goal for the convention is to get the right antennae. But I think without initial testing, my understanding of the problem is too weak. There is so much crazy crap for sale there, it is not a good way for a novice to shop. I got some cool stuff already and I will only go back there again if I get bored before Sunday...
