- How Digital Data Transmission Technology Is
Determining the Direction of the Future.
Analog data communications has exhibited enormous growth over the past decade. Voice transmission (the spoken word) has an average effective rate of approximately 50 bits per second. Terminals utilizing 9,600-b/s analog modems can accomplish transmission at rates nearly 200 times the spoken word using the current analog network. But the ......
- Process Data Transmission: Untethered
IMAGE PHOTOGRAPH 1 New instrumentation and control technology that communicates via radio signals instead of hard wires is slowly, but surely, making headway in the chemical process industries (CPI). In recent years, many vendors of monitoring devices, analytical and diagnostic instruments, and data transmitters have begun to offer wireless technologies ......

"real-time" data transmission enables better route
management.
"Real-time" technology is a rapidly emerging technology in the world of route management data capture and transmission. Other new technologies, such as global system for mobile (GSM) communications, general packet radios service (GPRS) and 1X, represent the next-generation of wireless radio data innovations that hold the promise of delivering higher ......
- Phoenix Contact.
Phoenix Contact has announced the release of two new serial copper-to-copper repeaters, designed to extend the speed, distance and physical network structure limitations of the RS-485 data communications standard. The PSI-REP-PROFIBUS-12MB module was designed specifically for the Profibus protocol and supports data transmission speeds up to 12Mb. The PSI-REP-RS485W2 ......
- Rambus Shows Its Smarts
Rambus Inc. today introduced its SmartDFE (decision feedback equalization) technology that, when incorporated into the company’s advanced backplane (ABP) solution, allows substantial performance increase in high-speed data transmission with superior bit error rate margins when compared to standard equalization methods. Specifically, the company said ABP solutions with SmartDFE can reach ......
