GalNet Channel

GalNet does not operate on the same principles as radio waves, but calling the different choices channels has become a firm term used by the general public.

A GalNet Channel is an entertainment, news program or information source.

While the GalNet principle is not based on radio waves and thus wave length that determine the "Channel". It is understood that the principle of GalNet is based on the frequency of oscilation between two super exotic particles. (Details are of course a tightly guarded secret)And these frequencies corelate to the number of Channels and subsequent their numbering.

The general principle of GalNet communication
(Detailed Information is classified by SII and Assembly )The discoverey of what SII calls a Super-Exotic Particle "Infinity Twin " led to the development of GalNet FTL comunication. It is believed that there are an infinite number of a Super Exotic particle reisiding both in the Planck universe and simultaneously as part of the so called Quantum foam (but in a higher state of space.and in Planck Zero Time . A GALNET terminal  can be dialed into the frequency of such a Infinity twin, and every GalNet terminal everywhere dialed in on the same swing rate of that particular infinity twin can receive the data sent by the sending GalNet terminal.Theoretically there is no Planck spatial limitation on its range, but it is believed that it the more energy is used to send the more difficullt is it to pick out the GalNet signal ( See the "Improved GalNet Terminal of the USS Tigershark ")These limitations have been overcome in 5100 with the Union wide introduction of "Infinity GalNet" (Or more common known  as INFCOM ")  ==There are the lower 100 channels.== Channel One (1) to Channel 99 which are traditional news, entertainment based with interactive (Virtu) and visual components

The Trans 100 Channels
Channels 100 - 999 are mostly audio channels only without a visual / virtual component (also known as GalNet radio)

The Trans 1000 Channels
Channels 1000 -9999 are Info access channels of commercial nature (Only bigger and affluent companies and groups can afford to maintain a GalNet channel.

(Some groups share access times)

The Tenthousand Up Channels
Channels 10,000 - 9,999.9999 are in general local GalNet stations or programs available GalNet wide ( Nilfeheim Radio is one of those)

Com Channels
Channels above 9,999,999 are usually reserved for GalNet communications.
