Why does the title say 1ns but the body of the article says 30ns (with hopes to eventually get it down to 5)?

The 2nd revision of the hardware is 1ns in simulation, likely 5ns in real-world scenarios. The first revision of the hardware (which I saw at NAB) is more like 30ns (with 20ps jitter, I believe).

1ns is about the best you can do with the nearly 1 GHz carrier (as mentioned in a sibling comment).

It's the period of the carrier wave (900MHz)?
