The origin of Salt came from the need for high speed data collection and execution in system administration environments.
This interface provides high speed data transfer, and is often used with digital video cameras.
The thing that really made it work was the near-ubiquity of reasonably high speed mobile data (in populated areas at least).
The images and the speed data travel under the road by cable to a computer.
This reduces crosstalk within the connector that higher speed data is sensitive to.
But the high speed data could only be sent when the 64m antenna at Goldstone was tracking.
The problem is that pair gain lines cannot carry high speed data.
This will permit much higher speed data transfers.
These pulses are interpreted as speed data by the head.
