A 40Gbps Ethernet standard could be on the cards, and 10Gbps Ethernet could run on copper--depending on an IEEE meeting in November.
Australian researchers from National ICT Australia (NICTA) have developed a lower power, short range chip for wireless communications that can achieve up to 5Gbps -- allowing them to transfer a complete DVD in a matter of seconds.
The prototype of a short-range gigabit wireless chip, which promises more than 2Gbps throughput speeds and costs just AU$10, will be unveiled by the end of this year, according to researchers from National ICT Australia (NICTA).
Technical experts have started to develop a new standard for Ethernet which will run at 100Gbps.
Perth's Edith Cowan University (ECU) will replace its entire data network over the next 18 months with brand new hardware from equipment vendor Nortel.
Yes, I confess. I used the high-speed AARNet network built for academics for hours and hours for years on end to kill people in Quake.
