New Technology Could Increase PAN Data Speeds

Aug 9, 2005, 1:25 PM by (staff)

Motorola today announced a joint venture to develop chips with a company called Phiar. Using Phiar's technology, the companies could develop radio chips for short range and millimeter wave technologies similar to Bluetooth or Ultra-Wide Band that are much faster than today's protocols. The companies claim they could reach high Gigahertz if not Terahertz speeds. Faster radio chips like these could enable faster data transfer between devices. Motorola believes these chips could send and receive ten or more times faster than current technologies.

Which will come 1st, this or UWB?

increased DUN speeds, and faster file transfer for increasingly larger pix and perhaps mp3 transfer?? I'm all for it.
