CSIRO Demonstrates Fastest Wireless Link Yet

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the sky-is-the-limit dept.

rob101 writes "The CSIRO yesterday demonstrated the world's 'fastest' wireless radio link by transmitting sixteen full quality DVD streams over a 250m link and only using a quarter of the available bandwidth. 'The CSIRO ICT Centre today announced that it has achieved over six gigabits per second over a point to point wireless connection with the highest efficiency (2.4bits/s/Hz) ever achieved for such a system.'" CSIRO hopes to double the speed of this connection in the future, pushing twelve gigabits a second.

    CSIRO is Australian.

    Your country does indeed take this sort of technology, and doesn't like to honour the patents on it either! So stop complaining.
