Industry: Email Alert RSS FeedFaster Speeds for Data Transfer
Signal, May 2008
Engineers have set a record for data transfer rates over satellites. Using a satellite terminal from the existing satellite communications fleet coupled with an advanced experimental modem, they reached data rates of 440 megabits per second.
Personnel from the U.S. Army's Communications-Electronics Research, Development and Engineering Center and L3-Com West performed the feat during a capacity test with Wideband Global Satellite (WGS) 1. Experts involved with the program say the satellite can support even higher data transfer rates than current ground technologies allow.
