Chip prototypes expected for 60 Ghz band
(old news - 11:59AM Sunday Sep 09 2007)
tags: wireless · hardware · alternatives · bandwidth
Georgia Tech scientists have spent a good chunk of time in recent months studying methods of using high radio frequencies to wirelessly transmit data at super fast speeds. It looks like they’re on track; they hope to have the file transfer hardware on the market in 2009. The scientists are currently working on prototypes for a chip that can be inserted into computers and mobile devices to allow them this capability. Currently, they are working on keeping the cost of this chip around the $5 mark to make it viable in the market where it competes with technologies like ultra-wideband. Of course, both of these work only within short range distances.

Oxygen Absorption

Stealthy way to keep the neighbors out of your business.

From...
»www.terabeam.com/solutions/white···0ghz.php

"Point-to-point wireless systems operating at 60 GHz have been used for many years by the intelligence community for high security communications and by the military for satellite-to-satellite communications. Their interest in this frequency band stems from a phenomenon of nature: the oxygen molecule (O2) absorbs electromagnetic energy at 60 GHz like a piece of food in a microwave oven....

Lots of spectrum, broad bandwidth and purposely short distance. Looks like a win ,win.

What the h*ll are you talking about? The FCC opened up a big unlicensed chunk of spectrum at 60 GHz a long time ago.

What the h*ll I am talking about is that the FCC will now see the opportunity that businesses will want to get into the game of using it, so they will probably seek to somehow line their greedy ass pockets.

I know right. Talk talk talk, but no facts on the technology.
