Siemens Claims Wireless Speed Record

Siemens claimed Tuesday it has set a record by transferring data via a wireless communications system at one gigabit per second.

The company said in a statement that it performed the feat using Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) technology and what it called an intelligent antenna system at its research center in Munich, Germany.

By contrast, wireless LANs are rated at speeds of about 54 Mbps, although actual data throughput speeds typically are far less. The upcoming generation of wireless broadband systems is expected to deliver speeds of between 1 Mbps and 3 Mbps and current 3G cellular data systems deliver typical speeds of about 384 Kbps.

The company said that, while the speeds were the result of laboratory experiments, that such speeds will be necessary in the future.

"I totally dissagree. Wifi has been around long enough for other
technologies to beat it's speed, reception, and security by miles...
litterally... EVDO is the newest wireless protocol that gets you about
25MILES radius of reception from every cell tower... just like cell phone
reception. I found a really clear comparison of pros and cons of all sorts
of WIFI vs EVDO vs DSL an more at
