Germans Reach 360 Mbps in Mobile Network Tests

Posted by samzenpus on from the but-I-want-it-now dept.

povvell writes "German telecomms giant Siemens has managed to hit speeds of an astonishing 360 Mbps in field tests in the centre of Munich using 'orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) and the so-called multi-hop technology'. This is not the only demonstration of OFDM producing super fast wireless speeds, as other companies are also working on variants of the technology. It surely can't be long now before we're all streaming the latest blockbuster movies to our laptops on the commuter train home?"

    And the part that makes some people mad is that we don't even expect thanks from ingrates.
