New wireless network speed record: 40Gbps over 1km, using extremely high frequency 240GHz

2013-05-21 16:17:11| Extremetech

Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute and Karlsruhe Institute of Technology in Germany have successfully transmitted 40 gigabits per second over a one-kilometer (0.62 miles) wireless link. The technology, dubbed Millilink, is the same speed as the fastest commercial fiber optic links, and could represent a major breakthrough for carrier backbones, broadband internet access in rural areas, and ultra-fast last mile access for customers who haven't had fiber rolled out to their house.
