[Ronja] What is holding back 100 mbps

[Deepak Mishra]

Hi all,
The discussion so far

Saad Shakeel says
    2. Need equally fast photodiode and 74xx ics
    3. faster ne592 alternate as it only works at 10nS
    4. we might be able to use the bf908 since it supports upto 1 GHz.

Thomas Egenhofer says
- Think over encoding technique
    1. 2 level encoding at 100 mbps could run into problems.
    2. 2 level encoding would require rise and fall times of .5ns !
    3. MLT3, coming from the LAN card could be used (30ns), requiring in
rise and fall times of 15ns of LED
    4. It would require redesigning the transmitter
    5. He already has a prototype MTL3 reciever at

Meanwhile CD930 shows us he already has a 100 Mbps version, but alas the in
the clutches of proprietary license
    He has videos at

     http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YcjaJhMHcNk

and even better people like Jim Thompson are waiting to be convinced to
finance a 100 Mbps version.


What are we waiting for ?

Regards,
Deepak
