[MLB-WIRELESS] Infrared wireless at 1250Mbps

[Andy Freeman]

Barry,
	are you sitting down?

Integrity in South Australia can sell you an infrared "Flight Path" 1250
Mbps unit that is good for 300 meters.... $78,025 list price plus $7,803
GST

If you sold the bike (and got a little over market value) you could get
a Flight Spectrum 2500 Mbps which is good for 1000 meters.... $217,259
plus another $22k GST.  Might have to sell a couple of Ferrari's too.

Entry level Infrared is 20Mbps for 350 meters - $16.5k inc.


Hmmmm.... Lucent card and Galaxy antenna, 11Mbps... <$500
(Sounds sweet now eh?)
 

Cheers,
               Andy.

There's a yarn on Slashdot tonight about a (no way am I going to 
register just to read it) NY Times story on laser-based infrared 
wireless LOS connections. Did a quick google and came up with 
<http://laserinfraredwireless.com/> which says infrared will do gigabyte

data transfers over 1000 metres with zero latency. You can get fast 
Ethernet T1 speeds (100Mbps) over 4000m. No word on cost. Mmmmm, 
gigabyte ...
