Surf the Internet Wirelessly at 15GB/s in the Future

ScienceMode.com - Scientists at the Georgia Electronic Design Center (GEDC) announced a new research which investigates the use of extremely high radio frequencies (RF) to achieve broad bandwidth and high data transmission rates over short distances. This means that tangled wires under desks and in data centers will be a thing of the pas, scientists say.
Within three years, this “multi-gigabit wireless” approach could result in a bevy of personal area network (PAN) applications, including next generation home multimedia and wireless data connections able to transfer an entire DVD in seconds.
The research focuses on RF frequencies around 60 gigahertz (GHz), which are currently unlicensed — free for anyone to use — in the United States. GEDC researchers have already achieved wireless data-transfer rates of 15 gigabits per second (Gbps) at a distance of 1 meter, 10 Gbps at 2 meters and 5 Gbps at 5 meters.
