The triangle of compromise

Speed Power
Bandwidth
Range

You cant have all 3. Just like manufacturing

Show threadfelixwhynotJan 25
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
Show threadLodespawnJan 25
yeah but this wifi you can only use in one room …
Show threadacosmichippoJan 25
also don’t really need 120gbps for every day use, so some of that bandwidth can be sacrificed for better range.
Show threadLodespawnJan 25
Yeah I wonder if they can use the same configuration to improve bandwidth at frequencies that penetrate walls, people and things better

Unfortunately, looks like the breakthrough is silicon that can credibly work with those frequencies at all with a reasonable power budget, by simplifying and reducing power draw. Maybe it could somehow reduce energy usage of wifi, but they seemed to be all in on being over 100ghz… So the tech won’t be increasing the throughput of anything more practical.
