Can you offer any comments on the viability of this technology? In its technology demo, Silk Road will transmit 144 distinct TV programming signals from a video wall with 144 monitors to a second video wall through a strand of fiber optic cable at 93 gigabits per second. Silk Road's technology simultaneously carries voice, video and data signals over long distances on the backs of photons in a bidirectional laser beam that does not have to be replicated or amplified. Company executives said their photonics solution can be scaled from a network backbone down to a local area network. Silk Road plans to introduce its first transmitter and receiver products early next year. Silk Road (formerly SynComm Inc.) is promoting its photonics-based technology as an alternative to dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM), a transmission technology that provides wide bandwidth across networks. Unlike WDM, which uses multiple wavelengths that must be reconditioned to eliminate crosstalk, Silk Road said its single-wavelength solution presents no chance for crosstalk or signal interruption. eet.com
