Wireless data transfer reaches 15Gbps

July 23rd, 2007

Wireless speeds 15GbpsGood news for all you wireless fans out there, a Georgia Tech press release states that scientists at the Georgia Electronic Design Center (GEDC) based on campus have already reached data transfer rates of 15Gbps (Giga bits per second) over a distance of one metre. Unfortuantely the speed is inversely proportional to the distance between transmitter and receiver so at a relatively small distance of 5 metres the speed degraded to 5Gbps. Still an impressive speed though.

This quote from the press release made my eyes light up

Wireless high-definition video could also be a major application of this technology. Users could keep a DVD player by their side while transmitting wirelessly to a screen 5 or 10 meters away.

The concept of total wireless data transfer around the home at speeds high enough for media files seems to be a closer reality. Anyone want to buy a bunch of HDMI cables?
