The triangle of compromise ~~Speed~~ Power Bandwidth Range You cant have all 3. Just like manufacturing

And what are we downloading? Is the cloud dead? Why do i need 15gbps on my phone? Is it made for consoles and their relentless 120gb patches?

WiFi is getting so good but i kinda dont want it to. I like wiring up the computers in my house but now its like WiFi is good enough it doesnt provide any advantages.

Until I can get internet options faster than 50Mbps in my area I don't understand why we're trying to get higher and higher upper limits on speed

I would use this for streaming games from a wired PC to a device that’s wireless. Not having to run a wire is magical.

and cant be standing between the device and router...

also don’t need 15 GBps (120gbps) for every day use, so some of that bandwidth can be sacrificed for better range. ultra high speed hdmi is 48gbps.

I'd shell out for a multi router array that would give me these insane speeds if my ISP would offer me those speeds. A router in every room isn't an impossibility if what you get out of it makes it worth it

It's definitely a niche product. Most people don't even need gig speeds.

It pretty much would be line of sight only. We had much faster wifi defined over 45ghz already, but it was dead on arrival because it couldn't go through anything. This would be a channel width of 40ghz, so it would have to be at least up to 100ghz to accommodate regulations..

Unfortunately, looks like the breakthrough is silicon that can credibly work with those frequencies at all with a reasonable power budget, by simplifying and reducing power draw. Maybe it could somehow reduce energy usage of wifi, but they seemed to be all in on being over 100ghz... So the tech won't be increasing the throughput of anything more practical.
