Wireless Popularity

A wireless USB hub has just been released to public consumers. It would appear as though wireless devices are becoming increasingly popular and that the amount of data able to be transferred from one receiver to the other is growing more each quarter. The idea that a USB hub which transfers anywhere from 50-150 MB/s could become wireless is a grand deal indeed. We should soon be able to see wireless monitors and other such devices. And a short while after that; perhaps even wireless internal computer parts for easier computer assembly and maintenance.

How long will it take for cables to be completely toned out?

Hehe; yes I realize that; but think of this; how far away do you really want your computer from your monitor? You know what I mean?

Yeah; I guess it'll still be a while before any of that happens; but not too far into the future; that I can assure you.

Idk, what is the tx/rx frequency of this hub? If its in the Khz range, good luck getting any spped over 200Mbs, but if its in the 24MHz range, speeds could excede 500MBs :D:D:D

I think that there are certain frequancies that are not allowed in certain areas of the city, mainly airportz, hospitalz, police stationz, fire stationz, etc etc. I know that the FCC is very stingy when someone invades their bandwidth. I know a guy, who was using the 802.11B router, and he had built a pinbeam broadcast area, because he wanted wireless in his workshop for his laptop. Everything worked out fine in the way of his signal control, but what he failed to realize was that he had the beam aimed at an air traffic control tower about 1/2 mile from his house, and they were picking up the signal as "interference" and so he had to switch to wired, or face a court. The point of that was: Wireless has many frequencies that cannot be used.
