Abstract: In described embodiments, a relatively optimum, ultra-low latency communication path with communication links operating in accordance herein provide for graded service in a near optimal, ultra-low latency communication system between points A and B. Points A and B are separated geographically over a relatively long distance where the curvature of the earth affects a direct path. Unlike typical systems, to provide the graded service in ultra-low latency networks, the service provider adds delay, or other service degradation, to one or more user connections, which is provided at greater implementation expense (e.g., higher cost to the service provider) in order to provide a lower fee service (e.g., lower cost to the service user) for certain users of the ultra-low latency network.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, a pitch link includes a first link, a second link coupled to a first end of the first link, a third link coupled to a second end of the first link opposite the first end, and a first bearing housing having a first bearing and a second bearing housing having a second bearing. The first bearing housing is removably coupled to the second link. The second link separates the first bearing housing from the first link. The second bearing housing is removably coupled to the third link. The third link separates the second bearing housing from the first link.
