SkyBeam optical transmission

AMG Systems has launched a new series of multi-beam free space optical transmission solutions that can bridge the gap between two sites that have fibreoptic cabling but where installing additional cables is not feasible. SkyBeamMaxi is available in two versions, 155 and 1G for longdistance transmission. 155 can transmit up to 155Mbps over 2km line of sight while 1G can transmit 1.25Gbps over 1km line of sight. Meanwhile, SkyBeam Mini 1G transmits full-duplex 1.25Gb Ethernet up to 500m line of sight, which A

To paraphrase the old joke about buses bunching, you seem to have to wait several decades for a Personal Rapid Transit (PRT) system, and then half a dozen come along together. Currently, in fact, there are well over that number of schemes for driverless electric passenger-carrying 'pod' networks at various stages of planning, design and implementation around the world. Locations range from a straight-off-the-drawing board ne
