 Siemens has 1 Gbit/sec wireless link
<http://www.mobiletracker.net/archives/2004/12/07/siemens_has_1_g.php>

Siemens today announced that researchers at the Siemens Communications 
Group department have developed wireless technology capabale of speeds 
up to 1 Gbit/sec (1000 megabits per second). WiFi currently tops out at 
around 50 megabits per second, which is still quite faster than 
technologies in the US like EV-DO that top out at a little over 2 
megabits second. Howver, don’t hold out for the new tech anytime soon:

By the time the next generation of mobile communication debuts, which 
is expected to occur beginning in the year 2015, the need for 
transmission capacities for voice, data, image and multimedia is 
conservatively anticipated to rise by a factor of 10.

Siemens combined an “intelligent antenna system” consisting of three 
transmitting and four receiving antennas with Orthogonal Frequency 
Division Multiplexing (OFDM). The research looks promising for “4G” or 
technology after W-CDMA (3G).

This technology will be shown off at the 3GSM World Congress in 
February 2005.
