Siemens has created a 1 Gbps wireless link (in the lab at least) and according to Glenn Fleishman, it appears to incorporate MIMO (multiple antennas for transmitting and receiving) and OFDM (the encoding used in 802.11a and 802.11g). Glenn points out that the company is looking to exploit this for cellular purposes and that it could pose a threat to Siemens has created a 1 Gbps wireless link (in the lab at least) and according to Glenn Fleishman, it appears to incorporate MIMO (multiple antennas for transmitting and receiving) and OFDM (the encoding used in 802.11a and 802.11g).

Siemens does, however, talk up OFDM technology, saying it’s “highly promising” and already in use in WLANs and digital TV and radio broadcasts. Siemens also recently signed a deal with Flarion to partner on products using its proprietary Flash OFDM technology to create equipment for 450 Mhz networks. Flarion’s technology, which supports download speeds up to 1.5Mbps, with 300-500Kbps on the upload, is being tested and deployed by several carriers around the world, including Nextel in the US.
