Atomically Synchronized Communications is a means by which data can be shared across vast distances of star systems. The systems that facilitate these communications circuits are housed in enormous facilities, and are only found on core worlds. The circuit between Homus and Capitol is still active, although as might be expected, much diminished in the amount of traffic that passes over it.
These circuits utilize what is sometimes called "spooky action at a distance". This action is the synchronization of two atom's spin state. No matter how far apart they are, both atoms share the same spin state. A single circuit features ten atoms, and is used in purely simplex mode. A single facility will house two circuits (one send, one receive).
Bandwidth on these systems is limited and only the most financially well off entities (Multi-system corporations and Governments) can afford to use them, but the pay off is significant.
