Yes. Phase stacking has been limited because of the spread in linewidth. The company says it can take that down to ! Angstrom, so coherence is increased. You can either trade density for distance, but 200 km makes the trade-off not worthwhile, i.e., there's more added value in bit density than in un-boosted transmission distance. What mark do you think you are missing?
By the way the feedback from my sources is infuriatingly stupid. The biggest problem in network communication is backbone limits to bandwidth. When things get slow, that's where you find the culprit. QoS, adding dark fiber, laying fiber shells, are impractical or superfluous. SilkRoad has invented a cheap and easy way to eliminate all the extra infrastructure. This should be of major interest to QWST and LVLT on the long haul.
Instead what we have is T trying to buy TCI's junk hybre fibre. On the short haul if you put in Pure with a SilkRoad, you don't need to worry about the return path and you can eliminate a lot of local server caching. You pull one strand along TCI's ROW, and voila, job's done. I guess this has to wait for the usual ineptitude so broadband can further devolve. Can't have anything svelte here. That might explain why Palmer is hiding out in academia. |
