- kazinator 10y agoIt's not about how far, but how fast it is going. The bandwidth of that wagon is about how fast those tapes pass a given point of travel. How they are arranged inside the vehicle is critical. Tapes moving at 100 km/h side by side have more instantaneous or "burst" bandwidth than tapes moving at 100 km/h in a single file.
