High Speed Wireless Data Transfer from VTT, Technical Research Centre of Finland
VTT (Technical Research Centre of Finland) has developed a fast and flexible radio modem, enabling wireless indoor network. The performance of the modem is approximately 20-200 times better compared to similar commercial (WLAN, Bluetooth) technologies. If compared to GSM and UMTS technologies, the new modem is 5000 times faster than the former and... view more... (2002-09-02)
