Abstract

Systems and methods for communicating information within a business organization network using a one or more communication bands on a HF communication network. A computer device may be used to control communication by selecting a frequency band and/or frequency at which communication may take place to optimize latencies to at or near the physical limitation of HF radio wave communication over long distances.

Claims

1. A method of communicating information over a low-latency communications network comprising:

analyzing one or more environmental conditions that have an effect on effective high frequency (HF) communication;

determining at least one of a power level, frequency band and a bandwidth at which to communicate information corresponding to a financial market within a business organization based on the analyzed environmental conditions to optimize latency over a HF radio communication network, and

communicating business information between two geographical locations using the at least one of a determined power level, a frequency band and a bandwidth, wherein the business information comprises less than or equal to 16 bytes of information.

2. The method of claim 1 wherein analyzing one or more environmental conditions includes:

receiving a prediction of communication reliability over a range of frequencies for a specified day; and

determining a range of frequencies at which a predicted communication reliability is above a specified threshold.

3. The method of claim 2, comprising selecting at least one frequency within the range of frequencies at which the prediction of communication reliability is above the specified threshold during business hours at a location corresponding to a transmission location.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein a signal to noise ratio of communications broadcast over the HF radio communication network is less than or equal to a specified value.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the communicated business information comprises less than or equal to 4 bytes of information.

6. A computing device for communicating information over a low-latency communications network comprising:

one or more processors; and

at least one non-transitory memory device storing computer-readable instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the computing device to;

analyze one or more environmental conditions that have an effect on effective high frequency (HF) communication;

determine at least one of a power level, frequency band and a bandwidth at which to communicate information corresponding to a financial market within a business organization based on the analyzed environmental conditions to optimize latency over a HF radio communication network, and

communicate business information between two geographical locations using the at least one of a determined power level, a frequency band and a bandwidth, wherein the business information comprises less than or equal to 16 bytes of information.

7. The computing device of claim 6 comprising:

an input/output (I/O) interface, wherein the at least one non-transitory memory device stores computer-readable instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the computing device to;

identify an elevation angle for an antenna for use in the HF radio communication network; and

output, via the I/O interface, a command signal to the antenna to position the antenna at the identified elevation angle.

8. The computing device of claim 6, wherein the at least one non-transitory memory device stores computer-readable instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the computing device to:

receive a prediction of communication reliability over a range of frequencies for a specified day; and

determine a range of frequencies at which a predicted communication reliability is above a specified threshold.

9. The computing device of claim 6, wherein the at least one non-transitory memory device stores computer-readable instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the computing device to:

generate a command to broadcast a message over the HF radio communication network with a broadcast power of greater than 100 Watts

10. The computing device of claim 6, wherein the at least one non-transitory memory device stores computer-readable instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the computing device to:

generate a data container for broadcast over the HF radio communication network, wherein the data container comprises less than or equal to 8 bytes of data.

11. A communications system for communicating messages over a high frequency (HF) network, comprising:

a computing device including a processor and a non-transitory memory device, wherein the non-transitory memory device stores computer-readable instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the computing device to;

analyze one or more environmental conditions that have an effect on effective high frequency (HF) communication;

determine at least one of a power level, frequency band and a bandwidth at which to communicate information corresponding to a financial market within a business organization based on the analyzed environmental conditions to optimize latency over a HF radio communication network, and

communicate business information between two geographical locations using the at least one of the determined power level, frequency band and bandwidth, wherein the business information comprises less than or equal to 16 bytes of information.

12. The communications system of claim 11 comprising:

a first transceiver; and

a first antenna electrically coupled to the first transceiver;

wherein the first transceiver broadcasts, via the first antenna, a message over the HF radio communication network with a transmit power of at least 25 Watts.

13. The communications system of claim 12 comprising:

a second transceiver at a different geographical location from the first transceiver; and

a second antenna electrically coupled to the second transceiver;

wherein the second receives, via the second antenna, the message transmitted over the HF radio communication network and wherein the receiver is capable of detecting signals within a signal to noise ratio of less than 25 dB.

14. The communications system of claim 11 wherein the non-transitory memory device stores computer-readable instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the computing device to:

generate a data container for broadcast over the HF radio communication network, wherein the data container comprises less than or equal to 8 bytes of data.

15. The communications system of claim 11 wherein the non-transitory memory device stores computer-readable instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the computing device to:

identify an elevation angle for an antenna for use in the HF radio communication network; and

output, via an I/O interface, a command signal to the antenna to position the antenna at the identified elevation angle.
