I just read a really interesting article on theage.com.au that covered a new wireless system developed at Melbourne University. The chip is said to push data at 5 gigabits per second, is cheap to manufacture, and works in the 30 to 300 Ghz range. According to the actual news release by NICTA the chip will work in the 57 to 64 Ghz unlicensed frequency band , and was developed using the IBM 130nm RF CMOS process.

Now all we need is for our storage to be able to handle the speed and we should be able to do something useful with all this bandwidth.  I wonder how this would work in a mesh network for LAN gaming?
