Reflective Memory is an optical ring-based, ultra-high-speed shared memory network solution
It allows a distributed network to share real-time data at a deterministic rate, regardless of bus structures and operating systems. The technology embraces an innovative and efficiently designed hardware platform that is easy to use, provides for greater distance between nodes, high noise immunity, optional node bypass, and no software overhead. Just read and write to the onboard memory and the Reflective Memory node controller does the rest.

Ring Network
A Reflective Memory ring-architecture network operates at rates of 2.12 Gbaud over a fiber optic ring. The ring topography ensures proper connectivity and does not impose additional loading restrictions or termination requirements. Because Reflective Memory is not a collision-based bus arbitration system as most Ethernet systems are, it avoids the complexities required for queuing and checking data packets. These attributes allow data transfer rates of 170 MB/s for Reflective Memory, compared to about 100 MB/s for Gigabit Ethernet (excluding protocol overheads). Each port regenerates the serial optical signal, eliminating the problems with insertion losses and cable attenuation. Signal regeneration also reduces jitter.
Star Network
The ACC-5595 fiber optic hub enables an RFM network to bypass failed nodes, ensuring that such a condition does not crash an entire network. Hubs can be cascaded, permitting a managed hub array with up to 256 nodes.
