NTT DoCoMo's 4G Tests Hit 300Mbps

Posted by CmdrTaco on Tuesday June 1, 2004 @06:55AM from the and-i-still-can't-get-cable dept.

haunebu writes "'Your brand-spankin'-new 3G phone is nearing obsolesence: NTT DoCoMo reveals the results from a new 4G test system.' says TheFeature. While in a car moving at 30kph, DoCoMo engineers managed a peak throughput of 300Mbps and a sustained transfer rate of 135Mbps with their new variable spreading factor orthogonal frequency code division multiplexing (WSF-OFCDM) downstream technology. Who comes up with these names, and how does Japan manage to stay lightyears ahead of everyone else in wireless?"

  Yeah, but when a giant lizard (who shall remain nameless) tears down those transmitters every couple of years and they have to be put back up, thats when you see how resourceful the Japanese truely are.

This is a lie!

I had nothing to do with this!

(And I don't do variable spreading of my factor. And certainly not in a car going 35 mph.)

Now we can drive with one knee, eat with one hand and watch /.-The Movie at 90mph.

Yeah, 135 Mbps would prove great for full motion streaming video, but how good will all that porn look on a 1" LCD?
Lightyears ahead of everyone... by raistphrk · 2004-06-01 07:14 · Score: 3, Funny

how does Japan manage to stay lightyears ahead of everyone else in wireless?

By protecting their secrets with giant anime robots.

Either that, or they found some ancient, advanced, lost wireless technology and got a patent on it.
