In theory having fewer repeaters improves latency, probably in the range of 100ns per repeater. I don't know how much of a practical effect that has, likely very minimal with modern implementations.
Either way it's more sensible to build high throughput microwave networks given the tiny amount of shortwave bandwidth we have.
- ericbarrett 4y agoI bet it's way lower than 100ms for this application. Single digits. Maybe less.
- pushrax 4y agoI wrote 100ns, and meant an analog repeater. Full digital regeneration is probably in the 1-10μs range.
