New wireless standart - IEEE 802.11ac
Follow Discussion
Well, it's currently under development, but it has very promising specs - 1 gigabit per second and high throughput LAN (6 GHz). In my view we still don't use the maximum of the 802.11n and not all devices support it. But this is a good move, and hope is better implemented than its predecessor :)

Speed sounds great. What exactly is "hight throughput lan"?
Maybe he meant hight throughput WLAN near 6 GHz and 1GB per second and compared to IEEE 802.11n is a great success
Do we actually need 1GB lan? Is the hard disk even capable to receive/send data at that rate?
Ooops my mistake....I meant 1Gb :D
I recently had to move 120GB of information and tried doing it through 100MBit wireless....i had about 7MB/sec so it is kinda useless for large amounts of data
You probably meant 1 Gbit (Gb), which equals 128 MB. And compared to the current speeds of 802.11n (top 0.6 Gbit/s = ~77 MB/s) truly is impressive.
These results are not achievable in real world :). Theoretical and actual speed are two different beasts. However it is good the bumped the technology a bit, now hard disks need to follow.
Why they are not achievable in real world?
I can't say for sure, but good wireless speed plus SSDs might get pretty fast. I guess we'll see significant improvements in the near future.
Yep if both PC on each side of the transfer have them. SSD are quite expensive and are not common at all. But after all we are talking about something that will become mainstream in 5 year (give or take).
