spokeshave, thank you for your attempts`to clarify
matters concerning NVEI's usage of the term
"prototype". It clearly needs to be addressed to
management so as to verify your reading of what they imply when referring to it. That, in turn, will,
hopefully, alert them to the vagueness now attached to it and their need to be very specific as to its usage. If you, or another s/h, would make this effort (my limited knowledge of the science/terminologies would bring me up short were I to try to explain matters - otherwise I'd do it) - it would be greatly appreciated. tia

I understand your point and the confusion, I think. <g> Is this consistent with this, though?

The Maine Telco test did not utilize the FPGA, this I know, and I was told this recently, and told it's ok to share that (not a material issue). NVI's line code was pumped through a wave signal generator to see how the signals looked/behaved on real-world (installed) copper telephone wires. The results where at least as good as in-lab simulations suggested they would be. Those in-lab simulations indicated NVI's tech far surpasses the performance of any other copper based transmission technology (speed and distance).

This seems consistent with the data posted by NVEI about the trial

http://www.newvisual.com/trial/

Down on the ground, a sophisticated waveform generator was connected to the outside plant. Next, the engineers began transmitting NVC signals over a variety of loop lengths.

Back at the remote terminal hut a member of the NVC development team connects to the other end of the copper pair that bears the NVC-generated signal.

Does this change your impression that the test must have been with a FPGA?

Taking it one step further, and for the sake of discussion, if they just fed code through the waveform generator and did not use a FPGA, how, if at all, does this impact the status of the progression of the development? Perhaps a better way of asking this would be to query why they would feed code through the waveform generator rather than use a FPGA to feed or process the signal?
