New 4.6Gbps Wi-Fi technology from Samsung

Samsung Electronics has announced the development of a 60GHz Wi-Fi technology that enables data transmission speeds of up to 4.6Gbps

Sounds like it will give you cancer.

for sure.

If it reaches that far. Could cook / warmup your food though.

We already have cANCer !

/facepalm

Any opportunity to bring in cANCer... Keep your cANCer to the CA section.

Hope they let Apple pay to use this.

This is probably a dumb question, but.... Is our 60Ghz spectrum available?
Knowing ICASA and SA we probably don't have enough spectrum or there will be some other old legacy restriction.

This country is full of sh*t, i dont know why we just dont copy paste everything that europe does. It will make this country so much better.

What is the point of ICASA btw?

To improve the Ping Pong skills of it's members.

What I dont understand is that they reject working technologies for no goddamn reason. I think they just draw a card from a deck and if its between 1-9 they reject it.

No. Neither 60 GHz (V-band) nor 80 GHz (E-band) is really available. Their use is not prohibited, but the pricing falls under the same model as for the rest of the band - i.e. you per for the channel size you use. In a rural area a 28 MHz channel link (PtP) will cost you ~R800 per year, depending on the rest of the variables. I'm not sure what channel size Samsung used here, but commercial E-band links typically use 500 MHz / 1 GHz channels. Since under the ICASA model cost is a direct factor of channel size, a rural 500 MHz channel size link will cost you roughly R14k per year. To the best of my knowledge ICASA doesn't make any provision for IMS bands in either the V-band or the E-band.

What I dont understand is that they reject working technologies for no goddamn reason. I think they just draw a card from a deck and if its between 1-9 they reject it.

Example? Normally technologies are rejected by the providers. ICASA manages the spectrum, not really the technologies.

Hope they charge them the earth

Now that's what I call speed , enough to satisfy those with the Need For Speed
