[QUOTE="micro.pw, post: 6640, member: 44"] Could this be the future of wi-fi? Download Zelda and the never ending thing in less than a few minutes? The story is from Engadget. [url=http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/22/researchers-develop-multi-gigabit-wifi/][/url] A research group from the Georgia Electronic Design Center (GEDC) at Georgia Tech has recently released a study demonstrating high-speed wireless data transfers at a staggering 15Gbps at a one meter range. The system is still in its infancy, as data rates drop off steeply with just a little added distance (10Gbps at two meters, 5Gbps at five meters), but the possibilities for speeds of this sort are promising. At 10Gbps, researches say you could download the entire DVD of Beaches to a cellphone in five seconds, although the ultra-high frequency 60GHz band used for transmission is unable to pass through human skin, creating line-of-sight issues which engineers have yet to unkink.
