Conclusion

 

After firing up the setup on my two windows95 machines (an iP133 and an i486DX2-60), the two computers can transfer files with a 0.1% packet loss over the four radios! The 10mbps signaling rate is basically 6.5 times the speed of a T1 line (1.55mbps) only using 4 different frequencies. The speed can also be altered swapping out the 20Mhz crystal with another lower value crystal (i.e. 4Mhz [2mbps]). After testing the 4 WAVECOM Jr. 2.4 GHz Wireless Audio/Video Senders to transmit and receive the Ethernet signals successfully, they have proven to be the ideal devices. Their carriers only distort the NICs data waveform slightly, allowing successful transmission and reception. Using the Netbench network benchmarking software, I have found that the interfering carriers do not affect the network's throughput.

With this amazing technology, and utilization of this new idea, manufactures can make attachable modems that will interface with any NIC, and once mass-produced will be less than 200 US dollars. Coverage will be throughout the world, on repeaters in highly populated areas, and through satellite in remote areas. This will enable the common individual to surf the net and download files at Ethernet speeds, from the comfort of his own home or laptop. This device make true real-time network access / Internet in the classroom a reality.
