Wireless Firewire (WiWire)

[arcy]

Exciting development though it will take a while for products to come out. It is amazing how wireless speeds have increased during the last 2 to 3 years but this is the big one ! Just a comparable note on the different speed for wireless:

For wide area coverage
o 2.5G = About 40KBPS
o EDGE = About 120 KBPS
o 3G = 2 MBPS
o 4G = 100 MBPS (Being tested in Japan)

For (very) small area coverage
o Bluetooth = 2MBPS
o WiFi = 11 MBPS / (g) 54MBPS
o WiWire = 400 MBPS (Why Wire? )
