  • I found the data sheet

    At 71-76GHz it’s about a 4mm wavelength in the E band. These kind of signals can’t penetrate much and throughput will be significantly reduced in bad weather. They are also used primarily in terrestrial fixed links because aiming is difficult (as you must know having worked with other brands in this band). However this is a 240 node flat panel array with electronic beam steering, so it’s able to maintain its own aiming and the throughput would remain decent if its aimed in the general direction since it has about 5 degrees of high power spray. At 32DBI it’s going to do about 50% of the 10gbps over 3-5km and down to mbps over around 15km or more.

    After looking at it in more detail it’s cooler than I originally thought, but it’s not doing anything that hasn’t been done before.




  • I was prescribed Ritalin at age 14 (20mg slow release plus 10mg fast release later in the day) and it had a similar effect in me where I withdrew into my own thoughts. I was definitely stimulated but it was all on the inside. I was able to focus for longer and it felt like my train of thought was a bit clearer and there was minor euphoria in the first 30mins of onset. In the end it affected me too much and I would get headaches from not eating enough so I started only using it to study for exams. But as a young child they won’t be able to make those decisions for themselves.
