2 unusual facts about Bit rate


Southern Cross Cable

Additional works and upgrades have since taken place to increase the network's capacity to 480 Gbit/s.

Sublink Network

Sublink was the very first public (non-academic) internet email and newsgroup network in Italy, with very low access fees (around $100 a year), fast backbone modems running at 19200 bps (the average modem was 2400 bit/s at that time), and fully registered to the NIC.


ATM Adaptation Layer 1

An ATM Adaptation layer 1 or AAL1 is used for transmitting Class A traffic, that is, real-time, constant bit rate, connection oriented traffic (example- uncompressed audio and video).

MPC-MLQ

MPC-MLQ Multipulse LPC with Maximum Likelihood Quantization is a speech coding algorithm used in G.723.1 speech coding standard working at bit rate of 6.3 kbit/s.

MPEG-4 Structured Audio

It allows the transmission of synthetic music and sound effects at very low bit rates (from 0.01 to 10 kbit/s), and the description of parametric sound post-production for mixing multiple streams and adding effects to audio scenes.

Fumitada Itakura

From 1973 to 1975 he worked at the Acoustics Research Department of Bell Labs, having been invited to work there on fundamental problems by James Flanagan, who had been impressed by one of Itakura's papers on low bit-rate encoding.

Space Communications and Navigation Program

PRN coding - used to reduce power spectral density for low bit rate signals, and for time transfer.
