IBM researchers showcased a small, low-cost chipset that could allow wireless electronic devices to transmit and receive ten times faster than today\'s advanced WiFi networks.
Using the IBM-pioneered chip-making technology called silicon germanium, the chipset is able to send and receive information in a portion of the radio spectrum that is both unlicensed and can carry a much higher volume of data, a key advantage as data-intensive digital media formats, such as HDTV, become more pervasive.
The chip is based on the evolving IEEE 802.15.3c specification for wireless communication, which utilizes frequencies higher than the Wi-Fi or any other wireless standard. IBM said that the chip operates at a clock speed of 60 GHZ, far faster than the standard 2.4 gigahertz or 5 gigahertz speeds that WiFi wireless networking chips use today. In the lab, Gaucher said IBM\'s prototype chip could transfer data at 630 Mbps, and could improve in a few years to anywhere from 1 gigabit a second to 5 gigabits a second.
IBM\'s team of researchers will present a paper on the chip at the International Solid State Circuits Conference this week in San Francisco.
Previous chip designs attempting to exploit this spectrum have been too large, expensive and difficult to integrate with the rest of their products. Their use often required the purchase of multiple separate components and access to specialized skills.
IBM\'s design and use of silicon germanium technology permits a high level of integration in the chips themselves. The embedding of the antennas directly within the unique chipset package helps further reduce system cost since fewer components are needed. As an example, a prototype chipset module, including the receiver, the transmitter, and two antennas, would occupy the area of a dime. By integrating the chipset and antennas in commercial IC packages, companies can use existing skills and infrastructure to build this technology into their commercial products.
Some applications that might now be possible using this 60 GHz technology include wireless personal-area networks (PANs) for intra-office communications in the 10m and below range. PANs are designed to support wireless Gb Ethernet, wireless display, wireless docking station, synchronization of PDAs with desktops/laptops, and wireless downloading of pictures from a camera. Similarly, the technology could enable wireless broadband video distribution, in which a 60-GHz link could be used to stream an uncompressed high-definition video signal from, for example, the DVD player to the plasma display mounted on the wall.
Several electronics companies are considering whether to use the chips in their products, but IBM did not name them.

Remember current WiFi can send and receive signal up 54 mbps and 108 mbps for a bit more expensive ones...
Now, they finally manage to increase the speed up to 630 mbps, and are working on 1 gbps and up to 5 gbps wireless transfer....
Amazing, those bandwidth are enough to send uncompressed HD signal...
-
fuck bandwidth speed
fix attenuation first
-
I want beyond speed of light speed. So fast, it goes back in time. This way, I\'ll be able to catch up to mm.
-
going back is not possible.
stopping time (theoretically) is
-
mm, you\'re such a pretentious mook face. time travel is possible, but there are two main limitations: 1) you can only go back as far as when the machine was first built 2) it takes half of all the energy in the galaxy to make it work.

stopping time isn\'t (theoretically) possible either, you can only slow it down...
-
going back to when the machine is built? wtf?
and politepet, your sig is way too long.

Good. I might be able to WTLW you for once.

ban poliet! SIG TO LONG! BAN HIM!
....Can I stream HD videos with this new 10 times faster WiFi? Can it turn back time? Can....uhm....Let me think of another dumb question...Here\'s one, to quote TiTan...
What is "job bidding" exactly?
;)

if you have a problem with it, by all means, delete it... I don\'t really care...

politiepet, done
:)

fine ;)

I miss politie\'s sig :( It reminds me of our little friend Racer and his sometimes stupidity :)

what\'s so hard to understand? if a time machine was built 20 years ago, you can use it to go back to any point after it was built, but not before.
-
and how would you go back?
:confused:
-
well, you\'d be bored by all the maths. but the main jist of it, you make spacetime spin like cofee in a mug. and the mug is a massive, massive time machine. if you make spacetime spin fast enough you\'ll eventually end up with a situation where you can exit the machine before you entered it.
but the short answer is, it\'s a fucking time machine. that\'s how.

I like how in the movie Prince of Darkness was able to use the theory of relativity to good use.
The people in the move were getting these weird TV like dreams. Apparently, they theorized that these dreams were tachyon beams from the future. Tachyon is theoretically supposed to be faster than the speed of light and should travel back in time.
So, the jist is - they (the people from the future) aimed the tachyon beams at a point where Earth was many years before. As the tachyon beam travelled back in time, the people (in 1987) began to get the message that the capsule they were studying was going to release the Anti-God and fuck things up in teh future.
LIC got scared and therefore hates this movie. ;)

you made me lol
thanks :)

Or you\'re just gay.

He\'s gay.

so gay
-
uber gay

I\'m not saying I would kick her out of bed, I\'m just saying....
-
wtf, did they airbrush her extra pale?
-
Pale chicks are hot..

:jacked:
doh... Hope that smiley doesn\'t cause any violence.

This thread took so many directions. First we talked about IBM\'s new thing. Then we started talking about time travel and how it is possible/impossible. Then a chick is posted to which I said she\'s a bit too pale. Then it took another right turn questioning my sexuality followed by a discussion about her :)
