Scarecrow Man Posted September 16, 2005 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 Airgo Networks, a privately held maker of wireless networking components, said on Wednesday it has developed chips that will increase the Wi-Fi speed limit by a factor of four.The Palo Alto, California-based company, which designs its chipsets around Multiple Input and Multiple Output (MIMO), a wireless technique that uses different radio channels to improve both speed and transmission quality, said it has achieved data rates up to 240 megabits per second (Mbps).Current Wi-Fi technology tops out at 54 Mbps. Remarkably, Airgo’s technology also beats wired home-networking technology, which generally reaches only as high as 100 Mbps.The technology also challenges a variety of industry efforts to base the home network on twisted-pair wire or coaxial cable. Airgo’s technology is backwards compatible with 802.11b, 11g, and 11a Wi-Fi.240 Mbps!! :drool:Story Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
