Nokia Successfully Tests 100Mbps Wireless Data Network
Posted by Wilson Rothman at 3:53 AM on November 8, 2007
Today Nokia said that in technical trials, the target of 100Mbps download speed and 50Mbps upload speed for its next-gen cellular data network "can be met", and promised initial deployment by 2010. Americans probably won't see it until later, since the 3GPP LTE (don't ask) initiative has more momentum across the Atlantic. The founding members are all Euros, though some Asian companies just joined in, including LG Electronics, NTT DoCoMo and Samsung. Still, it's grounds for excitement, since those superfast wireless data rates will get here sooner or later. (FYI: The phone pictured is Nokia's concept Aeon, and no, that's not a real 100Mbps antenna.) [Gadget Lab]

100mbps and i can't even maintain a 54mbps home wireless connect. why not put that to better use for home network users with a router that can transfer at 100mbps wirelessly
