Wifi 15 gigabytes per second — Researchers demo invention - SLRPNK

Lemmy

The triangle of compromise

Speed Power
Bandwidth
Range

You cant have all 3. Just like manufacturing

To be fair most wifi is used within homes or businesses these days so I would simply sacrifice range — as long as the minimum range is reasonable
yeah but this wifi you can only use in one room …
It’s definitely a niche product. Most people don’t even need gig speeds.
I don’t think this is a product yet … more like a technical solution for building a power efficient modulation at high frequency. Gigabit speeds are great but the band they are sitting in is mostly useless unless you have line of sight.
They hint at their goals by mentioning fiber in a datacenter, where they are now getting to 400/800gb speeds, so in the ballpark of this demo, but this would be a shared medium instead of a switched network, so it’s DOA there as well.
