ScienceDaily: Multi-gigabit Wireless Research Could Soon Make Wired Computers And Peripherals Obsolete

A future sans snake-pits is near:

Science Daily — New research at the Georgia Institute of Technology could soon make that tangle of wires under desks and in data centers a thing of the past.

Scientists at the Georgia Electronic Design Center (GEDC) at Georgia Tech are investigating the use of extremely high radio frequencies (RF) to achieve broad bandwidth and high data transmission rates over short distances.

Within three years, this "multi-gigabit wireless" approach could result in a bevy of personal area network (PAN) applications, including next generation home multimedia and wireless data connections able to transfer an entire DVD in seconds...
