Here is an Australian first by CSIRO .. they seem to make a habit of breaking wireless speed records. I can see yet another wireless upgrade happening in a few years if this keeps up. I use this info the classroom to 'gestimate' data transmission speeds with students, comparing it with information around the school, too and from mars etc.

Selina Mitchell and Stuart Kennedy - December 12, 2006<br><br>
CSIRO scientists claim they have created the world's fastest wireless<br>
computer link. <br><br>
The scientific agency's ICT Centre said it had achieved a speed of<br>
more than 6Gbps over a point-to-point wireless connection.<br><br>
CSIRO said that at this speed the entire works of Shakespeare could<br>
be transmitted in under seven-thousandths of a second and a full DVD<br>
movie in just over six seconds.<br><br>
That sort of speed makes the fastest internet connection available to<br>
consumers today look sleepy. Under ideal conditions, the best service<br>
from Telstra and other telcos is flat out downloading a 2GB DVD in 15<br>
minutes.<br clear="all"></blockquote>
