CSIRO, the Australian tech agency that may prove to own a fundamental part of 802.11a/g/n Wi-Fi, showed off 6 Gbps wireless this week: The network ran in a demonstration over 250 meters, handling 16 simultaneous DVD quality streams. (This press release is in the past tense; other articles indicate it happened.) The next step is to move to 12 Gbps. Just as fixed WiMax is seen as a T-1 replacement, especially in places where running copper is expensive or impossible, CSIRO says this could be a fiber replacement for the same purposes.
