Promise of 10Gbps Wireless

Australia’s IT research flagship, National ICT Australia, is confident it is on pace in an international race to deliver data wirelessly at up to 10Gbps — enough bandwidth to download a DVD in 30 seconds. The project aims to produce technologies to move data over short ranges using the 60GHz spectrum. Dr Stan Skafidas said his team was about two years away from producing a working prototype using the technology, which promises to provide small, inexpensive wireless units that can work together to form a mesh network
