Maybe I am way off here and there are plans to use voting for digital down
the road like Digitac Motorola does. They go further and actually
reconstruct packets that fail from a site using data from all sites.
Having said that, in the analog world using Moto SpectraTac comparators for
many years it wasn't that noticeable because all was analog from every
field receiver in a 1247 square mile County.
With the ADC to DAC process, I shudder at thinking of a timed referencing
synchronization of various source sites using public Internet transport. I
mean even in the "fire and forget" world of UDP protocol, the network
cannot cope.
Unless you are talking private links using microwave unlicensed spectrum
technology, I think it may be a hair puller.
Interesting project though.
